This is my 3rd Lexus SUV and it is stunning, superb, outstanding quality! Mine was a SPO and I waited 7 1/2 months before taking ownership. Well worth the wait!!

I had owned this vesicle during a couple of months. Two weeks ago I totaled it by accident. I was using smart cruise to the home at freeway. A car suddenly changed the lane to my lane, therefore my front car could't stop and hit the car. I expected full stop of my lexus but failed to make stop before crush. I was really surprised because the smart cruise maintained enough distance from the front car according to my driving experience with honda pilot (which is bigger non-luxury SUV). After accident (I regret this!!!), I researched that even Lexus RX 350 have bad stopping distance than other luxury cars. Now I know that Lexus RX 450h is much heavier (300-500 pounds) than RX 350. I am suspicious that RX 450h /RX 350 may have different break systems. Good luck with the owners of Lexus RX 450h.

Only reason I went for Lexus hybrid was fuel efficiency and their reliability history. People said there's battery issues with Lexus hybrid but no probs. So far it runs quiet and smooth like a newbie.

This is my 3rd of the Lexus RX. It has all the Bells and Whistles, and is fun to drive. Very quiet, and quick, very responsive. Just wish it didn't bitch after 20 seconds of not holding the steering wheel. Otherwise, it would be autonomous for the most part. I enjoy the "Brake Hold" feature that allows me to take my foot off the brake while waiting for the traffic light to change. The Brake Hold ON should be the default. The Dynamic Cruise Control is outstanding. It allows the vehicle to keep pace with the car ahead maintaining speed and a safe distance selected by the driver. But most importantly, it's fun to drive, quiet enough to carry on a conversation with my inside voice (at highway speeds) and is very comfortable. With AWD, the vehicle can get out of alignment very easily and needs to be realigned regularly. With this in mind, I purchased a 3 year alignment plan from Goodyear. The last time I had it aligned, they wanted to charge me $25 to have some electronic steering control reset. I asked if this was similar to having Low Headlight Fluid. Then I told them that I was planning to call the Dealership and ask them about this reset BS. They immediately took it off the list. With the lock down, I haven't been driving as much as usual. With only 37,000 miles on this puppy, it's still working great, keeping it fresh and new looking and won't allow anyone to eat in the car, resulting in that "new car smell." Hopefully the newness will last until I trade this puppy for another in 2025 or 2026. The RX is the best selling vehicle that Lexus makes. The hybrid is even better. I'm looking forward to the LF-1 Limitless, which seems to be the RX future replacement. Way to go Lexus...
