Not only does this vehicle looks stylish and intelligent, designed and built with safety in mind, drives and ride effortlessly, smooth and quite, interior design is inviting and comfortable, dashboard and instrument panel driver and front passenger friendly, Overall very impressive vehicle, the only drawback is the third row seating is not designed for adults uncomfortable. Satisfied Owner. Larry A.

Never thought I would buy a hybrid, but the Smoothness is the CVT and the instant torque sold me. Ride is as smooth as silk. Very quiet and high end interior. Only gripe is the exterior styling.

bought the top of the line , RX 450h in Matador Red. It is loaded and a spectacular car. Plus the hybred allows me to feel as though I'm contributing to the health of our mother Earth.

I have now owned the RX450 HL for 18 months. I still enjoy the car but there are two issues that I have. One, I just had to replace all of the tires and I only have 12,400 miles on the car. It came with Michelin premium tires. I had a Taurus previously and got 60,000 miles on a set of Michelins. Second, the EPA mileage estimate on the window sticker was 29 MPG city. I have made a concerted effort to optimize my mileage and at best can only get 24 MPG. I spoke with the Lexus service department and was told that 24 MPG is considered to be very good for the 450 HL. I’m extremely disappointed with the gap between the sticker MPG estimate and the real world results. Update: no changes from the previous review. I still like the car as much as before but still disappointed with the gas mileage. Update, the car has exceeded my expectations. It’s by far the best car that I’ve owned. I’m not sure why but the mileage has improved to an acceptable level. I’m now getting around 24-25 mpg around town. The reliability has been excellent.

My ultimate care

The car performs well, so far (I got the car 01/02/19). It turns easily and the backup cameras are great. The acceleration is great. The built in mouse is easy to operate. I have not set all the features. Blue tooth was set up. I did add my home address to the 12.3" navigation system, which was easy enough. I picked the car up at a dealership on the other side of the state (Plaza Lexus). The ride back (about 200 miles), was smooth, the car was easily able to get to 85 mph and slow down when the traffic slowed to about 55 mph. The car is loaded, as it is the luxury model, with all the bells and whistles. It even had the color heads up display (which shows the speed and other things). I would not recommend using this with backseat driving passengers.
