A disappointment, especially for the price
Quality, recalls, and cargo space are issues. I've had the car for two+ years and leased the vehicle. I'm glad I did because I won't be purchasing this SUV after the lease is up. Probably my last Lexus I'll look at. I made the decision despite the ugly front grill. This is my first Lexus and all I've heard about is the quality. Well something is definitely wrong. Some of my Cons: 1) Crappy tires that last only 20K 2) Sunroof issues the first week I had it 3) Windshield Wiper holder broke (plastic crap - ice broke it when turning on the wiper) 4) Driver side door latch broke - Are you kidding me? Only way to get out of the car was to roll the window down and open from the outside, roll the window back up, and then turn the car off. You try that in a pouring rain storm! 5) 2+ Services for recalls (One for Car wash issues) 6) Buggy software - ex. when opening the door while turning off the car it beeps at you 7) Cargo space is limited so when you have something sticking out the back (2x4) the car constantly beeps at you (I haven't figured out if you can turn it off) 8) MPG is nowhere near what they say it is. Probably average about 25.6. 9) Seats are OK but get a bit painful after 4+ hours (Not like my Volvo) 10) Heads up Display is OK but could provide more information/ Unable to see when wearing sunglasses. 11) Navigation is terrible, especially voice control. 12) CVT Transmission is worthless - Whiney and sounds like a rubberband. 13) Boring to drive 14) No Apple Car Play or Android Auto - Really not even an upgrade? Pros: 1) Very quiet 2) Lots of tech 3) Mark Levinson sound system is good but my wife's Acura and my old Volvo blows this away. 4) Great safety features 5) Great display and back up camera 6) Very comfy Acura includes 4 years of maintenance and Lexus include 1 oil change....The lexus is 15K more. Concerned about the reliability of this vehicle so I'll be looking for a replacement come summer.

No power and too many problems
This car is like driving a civic when it comes to power. There may only be 4 cylinders. At least that is the way it performs. Had issues the first weekend when the emission filter failed. They said the service guy over filled the gas tank. I don’t believe it. Now in rain it keeps beeping and telling me to clean the sensors. The car is clean. Their software can’t handle rain. Navigation is horrible. Menus aren’t much better. And a software recall already. Looking forward to not having this car.

My best Lexus yet
This is my 3nd Lexus. I had a 2001 Rx300. A 2004 RX330, and now a 2017 RX450h. I never had any issues with any of my vehicles. I think this is one of the best Lexus I have every own. I have had my Lexus for 8 months now. Its really quite, great acceleration, I love the lane assistance. And the ride is smooth. The only thing, I have had issues with is learning all of the menu controls. I am still finding things out about this SUV. My husband bought this for me, as a gift, but I would still have chose this the RX450h. I had a Acura 2005 MDX touring. Now, I will always own a Lexus.

Fabulous upgrade
We've owned several Lexus models and various brands of SUV's over the past 3 decades. We've had our 2019 RX 450h for just over a year, not one problem whatsoever, and in our opinion is the safest, most comfortable, smooth riding vehicle ever. The Mark Levinson audio system, pano sunroof, safety and other premium upgrades throughout take an already great SUV to the highest level. Test drive all of the similarly priced cars before making a decision...our feeling is this one will top your list.
