2018 450HL

2018 Lexus RX 450hL Luxury 4dr SUV AWD (3.5L 6cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)
Best value out there among LUX Hybrid SUV. My previous SUV was BMW X3 i35, MSRP $55k and the Lexus 450HL is $65k, I am paying .38 cents more a month for my lease but is 39 month verses 36 months. The options included in the Lexus blows away the BMW X3. For the same, I would need to get a X5 and that would run in the $70k+ range. the trade off is the handling but the comfort and the … additional options and pricing are there to make you forget about it. Plus is larger in size and gets better gas mileage. you need to check it out before you make your final decision . worth a test drive or visit into a Lexus showroom.
Ride quality is great.Extra cargo space is nice
5 out of 5 starsVictor, 06/03/2019
2019 Lexus RX 450hL Luxury 4dr SUV AWD (3.5L 6cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)
We were on the fence with a Toyota Highlander Hybrid and a Ford Explorer hybrid when this vehicle came on our radar.Our third row requirement is rare (kids+mil+dog) so we wanted a car that had a third row but not too often for long drives.
The interiors on this were plush (Black leather with grey trims) and the ride quality is way better than both the highlander and the explorer. The … media interface is meh but we mostly hear songs and navigation via bluetooth which works smooth once connected the first time.
The built in navi is strictly ok. Sound quality from the speakers is way better...we had a Kia Sorento SX with JBL Infinity speakers and 2500 W amp before this and this stock system beats the sound of that !
Heated seats,mood lighting, wood trim, easy controls for mirros and windows have little Lexus touches that make it a plush choice for a hybrid car.
So far we have driven it 2500 miles and got around 26 -28 mpg with 40:60 mix of city/highway driving. The mileage goes way up to 30-35mpg if you are cruising with very little acceleration at 65-70 mph.
Road noise is minimum and the best part of the car is that it floats over all the bumps and lane reflectors without a shock being sent up into the cabin zone.
The switch from hybrid mode to engine only is a little noticeable for sound but only if you have driven a plug in hybrid before where it is seamless.The car does not jerk or pause when it happens and the CVT then takes it over very smoothly.
The one star I docked in the review is for the entertainment system that is missing the android carplay and a touchscreen interface.The joystick control is super distracting when driving.
Great SUV for a family with kids and 28-mpg
5 out of 5 starsLa Habra Cobra, 01/20/2022
2022 Lexus RX 450hL 4dr SUV AWD (3.5L 6cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)
Smooth ride, great quality of material, and impeccable fuel economy as you already know about the famous LEXUS perks. I chose RX hybrid L model for the family road trip when we stay in the hotels. I also owned a Sienna mini-van and needed another car for high-mileage trip and commute.
I was worried about the cargo space because of many concerns in reviews, but this L model has enough … space for a large icebox and three large trunks. We don't need 3rd row seats, but it is useful sometimes when we need to give someone a ride for a short distance which actually happened to me many times.
Overall, I am satisfied with my decision, but I would like to say I just bought the right car at the wrong time. My RXL is a base model with ridiculously overpriced ~$10,000 options which ends up around ultra luxury trim price level.
Update 2nd year of driving, a good thing is it still goes average 28 mpg (30 hwy, 25 city, I drive more on hwy)
Lexus RX 450hL Luxury model - Excellent Choice
5 out of 5 starsShashikant Choudhary, 08/01/2020
2018 Lexus RX 450hL Luxury 4dr SUV AWD (3.5L 6cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)
Very excited when I got the car in Jan'2019. This is fully loaded, as it is the luxury model, with all the bells and whistles. It's best value out there among Luxury SUV. I did test drive X5 and GLE and found RX 450hL better in every respect in the $65-$70K range. It's larger in size and gets better gas mileage and better pickup due to hybrid engine and the car is easily able to get to … 90 mph. Ride is as smooth as silk, very quiet and high end interior. CVT transmission is very smooth and the instant torque very fast in sports mode. I am only missing Apple Car that has been launched in 2020 model and doesn't have software upgrade option from Lexus Dealer. My suggestion would be to Lexus to provide Apple car play upgrade option through dealer.
We have a limited number of reviews for the 2022 Lexus RX 450hL, so we've included reviews for other years of the RX 450hL since its last redesign.
