edmunds TESTED
Lexus has been in the hybrid-making business for quite some time, so it's no surprise it makes some of the best. The 2022 RX 450h's bold styling could be a polarizing point for buyers, but its combination of impressive attention to detail, interior appointments and practicality makes it an undoubtedly attractive proposition in the luxury SUV scene. Our only real reservation: It underperformed its EPA fuel economy estimates in our testing.

My Atomic Silver Ride!
5 out of 5 starsmarkh, 11/25/2019
2020 Lexus RX 450h F SPORT Performance 4dr SUV AWD (3.5L 6cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)
I graduated from a 2017 RX 350 to the 2020 RX 450h Performance F Sport and love it! I love the feel and sound when I put it in Sport mode, but most of the time I keep it in Eco Mode for improved mileage. In Sport mode the gas pedal is soft, whereas in Eco mode it seems as the pedal is harder to push, saving fuel? The car is very similar to my 2017 inside, except the speedometer … area. There is no space under the back seats to stick my car wash rags or umbrella since the battery is in that area. (not a problem). The RX 450h has a smaller fuel tank then the RX 350 but I am getting around a 100 miles more between fill ups with the RX 450h. The only drawback is the RX 450h does require 93 octane which compared to an RX 350 that burns 87 octane there is only a slight cost savings on fuel. Currently I am getting exactly what the estimated mileage on the sticker says....
Great Value and very comfortable!

2020 Lexus RX 450h F SPORT Performance 4dr SUV AWD (3.5L 6cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)
This is an incredibly well constructed and well composed SUV. It is exactly what you think it should be. There are no surprises. The CVT coupled with the Hybrid System provides adequate and smooth power. The ride is very comfortable. It’s heavy and well made yet fairly agile for a car this size. Lexus has done a very good job with this car. You would be hard pressed to find anything … negative about the vehicle. There are obviously certain aspects of the car that might not be ‘as nice’ as other competitors in the segment but on average this Car does everything very well. Highly recommend.
Get f sport version if possible

2020 Lexus RX 450h F SPORT Performance 4dr SUV AWD (3.5L 6cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)
I did very intensive test drive comparing the non f sport and f sport. If possible, please get f sport. The f sport suspension turned grandma's 450h into a car like SUV. The eco and normal mode completely isolate you from the northcal crappy road condition. On the other hand, sport+ mode controls body roll really well, and the performance is very similar as my 2016 IS f sport. Overall, … I'm extremely satisfied with my purchase!
Wow!!

2022 Lexus RX 450h 4dr SUV AWD (3.5L 6cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)
3/25/2024 Update: Still love it! We especially love the safety features when it stops automatically when there is the possibility of an accident. It has saved my husband multiple times when he didn't see a vehicle which pulled in behind him as he backed out of a parking spot. It runs like a dream!
9/23/2023 Update: We still love it! My husband says it is the favorite car he has ever … had! We have had no problems, it runs beautifully. Great car! First review: We traded our 2017 RX350 for the 2022 RX450h. This car is so much better, though we really liked the 2017. Apple Car Play is a big help. The ride of the 2022 is much smoother, and the hybrid is so quiet! Very happy we made the switch and got excellent care at the Lexus dealer in Houston!
UPDATE: We traded in an older Rx350. It was okay, but I didn't love it as it wasn't as smooth riding as most Lexus sedans. The newer hybrid rides much, much better. And there are better safety features on the 2022. It also has excellent pick up, being a hybrid. We really like the car and would highly recommend it!
