Great car, worth every penny. We purchased this car after our BMW. It was such a relief to be back with Lexus again! We had a 2008 RX400h and it was a fantastic car. The rx450h is even better. I absolutely love the sporty f-sport look. Mechanically, this car has exceeded my expectations with very minimal problems. We did have to replace the transmission at 68,000 which was very frustrating and pricy, but other than that, it’s a great car. I would definitely purchase a Lexus again. It’s a fantastic car. I love the ability to put the address on your phone and sync it to the Mac in the car. The maintenance is so cheap and everything works, a HUGE change from the bmw. My only criticism is the workmanship. The interior is not very luxurious. Maybe that’s cause I’m coming from a BMW, but the dashboard and center console are not very impressive. That’s something that definitely makes me miss my bimmer. Acceleration is great, super fast in sports mode. Eco mode does the absolute opposite of what it’s intended to do. I feel like it takes up more gas. I average at about 23-26 mpg, my mom gets 28 on hers (she has a 2013 rx450h as well). If you’re considering buying it, go for it! It’s a great car. It’s been a year and I still love it, the value has increased so much since last year! Gotta love Lexus! Update: we’ve had this car for almost 2 years, it’s a great car but the only thing is that the paint feels very cheap in the body isn’t the best. Any small ding would make a big dent. Coming from BMW, it was much stronger. Even the older lexus were stronger than this one. Still highly recommended!

I've had the car for about a year and a half. Really like the luxury and performance. Some of the cool features includes an auto setting for the windshield wipers that has it automatically engage when it rains (and if it's raining harder, the wipers will go faster), lots of cupholders, seat adjustment options (forward, backwards, tilting, up and down, lumbar), the blue lights that go on to indicate that you are driving in eco mode for better fuel consumption/mpg. This is my first hybrid so in the beginning it was hard to know if the engine was on since there is no noise initially, but after about 5 seconds or so the noise will tell you it's on. It's roomy and the second row fits two booster seats with enough room for an adult in the middle. One issue that I have is that the MPG only averages about 25 combined city/hwy rather than 30/28. But it's better than my last compact SUV, a Honda CRV.

Good for city; Expensive gas for highway

A hybrid advice was to have vehicle not to exceed 65 mpg to be economical with gas, so I try to drive within the Eco range. However, from stop, the suv has to go beyond Eco to Power range just to move forward at a pace that doesn't bother the cars behind you. As soon as the suv has acquired speed below Power range, then you can drive with Eco. On highway, I would stay within the Eco range to see how soon I could raise the speed up to 60 mpg. I believe it took me 4 highway exits to get there. Next time, I should time it. I guess you really have to be aware of staying within the Eco range, to get the mileage benefits of this car. The car insulation is really great, drives smooth with good vehicle handling.

Buy one and keep it forever

My 2013 RX450h is staying in the family. I bought it 4 years old and plan to keep it as long as I can drive. It came totally loaded with every possible option. And they are worth it. All the bells and whistles that make driving and owning a dream. Mileage is fantastic, easily average 30 plus highway, 29 city. Regular gas. I see some people complaining about mileage and wonder if they really know how to drive a hybrid. If you are a pedal to the medal, slam on the brakes like many drivers, your mileage will be bad. Easy does it, coast when you can and brake gently. Not always possible but it’s a goal so long as you are not hindering traffic. Generally, I have the car serviced at Toyota, same oils and fluids and much cheaper. 50k miles on the tires before replacement. 80k on rear brakes and still good. 12 speaker audio, unreal quality. If the hybrid battery wears out, I’ll replace it but probably not by Lexus, too expensive. The V6 engine is good for at least 300k if cared for. Our friends love riding in the rear, say they love the luxury and elevated seats and great visibility. Going on 11 years old and still looks new.

A very fragile SUV

Extensive use of plastic body parts makes this vehicle VERY susceptible to damage and VERY expensive repairs. The slightest encounter with road debris will cause body parts to separate. This type of damage cannot be repaired, requiring both parts to be replaced, which is VERY expensive. This is my last RX-450h!
