2020 Lexus RX 450hL Trims Comparison

2020 RX 450hL trim level differences

The 2020 Lexus RX 450hL is a six- or seven-passenger midsize hybrid SUV that comes with three rows of seating and all-wheel drive. It uses a 3.5-liter V6 engine that works with a pair of front-mounted electric motor-generators through a continuously variable automatic transmission to drive the front wheels, while a third electric motor powers the rear wheels. Total system output is 308 horsepower.

There are two trim levels: the base 450hL and Luxury. Standard equipment highlights for the base model include a power liftgate, dual-zone automatic climate control, power-adjustable front seats, adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning with automatic braking, and Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and Amazon Alexa capability.

A Premium package adds a sunroof and wood interior trim. The RX 450hL Luxury trim level (which can also be considered a package) comes with the Premium package equipment and adds rear side sunshades, auto-dimming and power-folding side mirrors, a heated wood steering wheel, and perforated-leather seating surfaces.

The Navigation package pads on an integrated navigation system, a 12.3-inch central display and a premium audio system upgrade. A 15-speaker Mark Levinson premium audio system is also available. Other stand-alone options include a color head-up display, a panoramic sunroof, and a blind-spot monitor with a surround-view parking camera system.

Which 2020 RX 450hL trim does Edmunds recommend?

The RX 450hL comes in two trim levels: the base model and the Luxury (which can also be considered a package). Both are essentially available with the same wide array of options, so we'd opt for the base model and opt for the Navigation package with the 15-speaker Mark Levinson audio system. It adds a beautiful, large display screen with onboard navigation and an outstanding sound system. The 450hL's thick rear roof pillars reduce visibility, so the optional blind-spot monitor and surround-view parking camera system are smart investments.
