Great ride but disappointing

Ok here's the update (01/6/2021) - 30K miles. A big disappoint (for a Lexus) as I've had it in for recalls, sunroof issues, wiper issue, Driver's side inside door handle broke, and other minor interior issues. Tires lasted only 20K (others have the same complaint on User Forum - and yes I rotate them). Not great in the snow. On top of that, the infotainment system acts irradicably (No sound out of the radio when it's extremely cold - have to restart the car) and no upgrade available to Apple Car Play. Tough to defrost the front windshield. Can't really haul anything that sticks out the back. Ice or snow on the sensors causes havoc and the car to beep at you and beep at you and beep at you (you get the idea). Would be helpful if they squared off the back from a cargo perspective. Do my own service and everything is easy to get to and the brakes aren't even 1/2 worn. Gas Mileage is averaging 25 MPG. Lowered to a 3. Won't buy this again. ---> end of update What I like: Ride, Interior materials, Comfort, MPG, space, and very quiet. What I don't like: Infotainment, Sound system is just OK. Terrible in cold weather (doesn't heat up, wipers freeze, front defroster takes too long), controls not exactly intuitive (i.e. how do I turn off the sensors for the car wash?).

Love it but fuel economy is not what they say

I have had a 2019 Lexus RX 450h for 2 1/2 years on lease. It's up next March and I'm trying to decide to either buy it or turn it in. Because of Covid, I only have 20K miles on it and will likely be much lower than the 30K limit when I turn it in. I love this car. I baby it! I'm just very frustrated with the lack of fuel economy that I get. It's advertised 28/31 and if I get 27, I'm LUCKY. I'm also concerned with owning it longterm and having to replace the battery eventually. I hear it's expensive. It's very comfortable and luxurious. Some things are a bit tricky, like turning on and off the a/c. It's not just a button. You have to navigate on the screen to find the a/c and then click on it. Kind of a pain. Decisions, decisions...

Yes it is comfortable for a road trip, car has good motor drives nicely, but the navigation is so bad I use my portable Gamin. All electronics are hard to handle and confusing. Especially navigation. You can't add your on safety and speed cameras or other data bases like you can with the Garmin. Car requires premium gas which offsets the hybrid value by 30 cents plus per gallon. They make hybrids that use regular but not this Lexus. I doubt if I would buy another because of the poor technology. Repair expensive so I bought extra Lexus warranty. Required service can be performed at Toyota at half the price.

Great MPG for vehicle size

The RX 450h F Sport has really comfortable seats good handling and Amazing MPG. I do a city freeway combo daily and don’t drive like a bat out of hell and average 25 mpg. I think is good for such a heavy vehicle on 20’inch stock wheels, I went from a CT200H to this and can’t complain other than the CT had real good MPG.

smart cruise breaking

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.
