2024 Lexus RX Plug-in Hybrid Consumer Reviews
Pricing
Exceptional Blend of Environmental Consciousness
I have owned my 450h+ for six months and driven it 6,900 miles in and around town and on several long road trips. My 450h+ exceeds my expectations! The car’s computer has apparently learned my driving habits and now estimates my fully charged EV mileage at 43 vice the 37 it estimated when I first got the SUV. This new range appears accurate for my daily driving. I have calculated my MPGe at almost 90 MPGe. My metered home plug shows I have spent $203 dollars for electricity and my driving records show I have spent only $138 on gasoline ⛽️ @ an average of $3.38 per gallon. In summary, my 2024 Lexus RX450h+ is the most luxurious, quietest, and comfortable Lexus of all my 4 previous Lexus RX hybrids. It offers the perfect blend comfort, environmental consciousness with absolutely no range anxiety.

Drives like a dream, comfortable and well built
I had this car for a couple weeks now and I'm loving it. This is my first "luxury" car I've owned and it's a huge difference. From the cushy interior and lots of features to the sales process. Everything was comfortable. I'm loving the driving it. It's my first automatic car I've owned, and it just glides down the road. My only small complaint it that boy it has a ton of features that require a steep learning curve. I'm glad I bought the 450h+ since it only comes with luxury package and has everything I wanted without me having to play games with dealer on configuring a bunch of options. Update: I’m still loving this car. It’s a dream to drive but my one issue is that I wished it had more EV range (maybe 70 miles) and was fast charger compatible. The advertised range is 40 miles but I never had more than 35 and that seems to be going down. Regardless I rarely do much more than that during the week except on Saturday when I drive 35 miles out to play golf. The EV gets me most of the way there but all gas on way back. No charger at course. Not sure why EV range has been dwindling by a mile or two. Need to ask dealer. I don’t have a charger at home and charge it once a week a couple blocks away and it takes about 2 1/2 hours and costs about $5 which is acceptable. If it were a full EV, I’d probably charge at home. But so far no other complaints accept for maybe the over zealous collision avoidance system. Driving down into my garage can be a little unnerving with all pinging.

Luxurious..Smooth and Refined
I traded a 2022 NX450h+ in on this RX450h+. I was questioning if the price difference was worth the swap into the RX plug-in and I can say with certainty most definitely. Where the NX was nice it just seemed to be missing some of the luxury touches Lexus is known for. The RX plug-in goes a step above and is way more refined than the NX. So far I’m very happy and the EV range pretty much or closely matches the NX’s. Longer trips are better in the RX as well. The overall experience I wanted in the NX, but never got until I swapped into the RX.

Smooth ride !
I had the 2024 RX500H F Sport for about three months. Did not like the gas mileage, nor the erratic Shutter between the hybrid and the gas engine. Also found the seats to be very hard. Trade it in for the 2024 RX 450 plus Absolutely enjoying the vehicle love. the E. C. T. Transmission. Very smooth. Should have bought this one first. The mileage works for me around town. Also, this vehicle is manufactured in Japan Not sure, but it does feel. tighter for some reason. I plug it in overnight. No issues. The engine actually sounds quieter when it's running than the 500 H with the turbo, in my opinion,..

Lexus RX 450h+ Gas Tank/MPG
The gas mileage and tank are over rated. I have now completely drain the tank where the vehicle will alert to pull over and park, that the engine has turned off. The vehicle was out of Ev charge as well. The remaining hybrid charge allowed the vehicle to get to the gas station. The fill up at the pump was 14.05 gallons. So far the MPG is around 28.5 miles per gallon for me. I do drive with a heavy foot but in the 2021 RAV4 hybrid I would get around 32mpg and the 2011 Camry Hybrid 30mpg. I have tried to get the 37 and it just does not seem possible unless you are counting electric miles. The gas light comes on at 4 gallons left in the tank and will state 25-32 miles left. Once the miles hit zero it will say Refuel. When it says Refuel there is 3 gallons left in tank. I have filled up a number of times almost at zero on gas light and it takes almost 11 gallons. I drove almost 90 miles on refuel before the warning came on that the engine has shutoff. Hope this helps everyone, I could not find this information anywhere so I tested out the supposed 14.5 gallon tank that is listed in the manual.

RX450H+ PHEV
Awesome vehicle. Upgraded from a 2015 RX350 Fsport. Was thinking of getting the RX500H but so glad I purchased the RX450H+ instead. Better gas mileage and plenty of performance, handling and acceleration. The luxury package has better overall options. Installed an aftermarket hitch for bike rack. Same Curt Mfg hitch that is fits the other 2024 RX SUVs. Very happy so far!
