A pleasure to drive!

R and R of Las Vegas NV, 01/18/2021
2020 Lexus RX 450h 4dr SUV AWD (3.5L 6cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)

I've had my 2020 Lexus RX450h for a year and it is a pleasure to drive. It has all of the accoutrements I waited for since purchasing my 2013 RX350. It has a bird’s eye view of the area surrounding the car, a touch screen monitor and a touch pad, many safety features like blind spot monitoring, lane and parking assist. It has triple head beams with cornering lighting and automatic high beam control. I wish I had added the heads-up display option, but I do enjoy the hands-free-leg-kick to open the tailgate option. The heated/AC seat option is very nice when needed!

traded in my cadillac 2017 escalade..different class of car. Yet it was a good move..its smooth..fast but takes a little time to get there..good looking...interior is classy. normal mode is good yet if you want to play...go into sport m,ode...jumping on the highway from a street standstill you want to start in sport mode and after your are getting up to speed go back into normal mode. From that point on you got a comfortable ride. auto lights are cool also, breaking is good. im satisified..just need more speed and better gas mileage. also its a littlre pricey. good luck

Great MPG for vehicle size

Edgar Gonzalez, 10/11/2020
2019 Lexus RX 450h F SPORT 4dr SUV AWD (3.5L 6cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)

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.

Crossbar blocks the cargo space

An apparently unremovable metal bar blocks the cargo space of the 2019 RX 450h. I can put things below the bar or above the bar. But nothing big can fit in this cargo space.

Beware: Useless Navigation System without Carplay

New RX450h Owner, 05/23/2019

Used old Gen09 Navigation System (Can't be upgraded to Gen10 even you want to pay) and not eligible for Carplay upgrade. Make this car useless for daily commute without real time traffics. BTW, Lexus has no plan to make it right for the owners even with the resource and technical know-how. So you are stuck with this for as long as you own this model.
