2023 Lexus RX 350h Premium Plus 4dr SUV AWD (2.5L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)
We were looking for a nice luxury vehicle that didn't kill us at the pump. This is it. We opted for the Premium Plus because we did not want low profile tires/wheels. They are no good for California roads. Our other car lowpro tires/wheels are damaged. We also didn't want to pay for option we will never use. Nonetheless, the premium plus came with leather interior, panoramic roof, … digital rearview mirror, rear kick sensor, heated steering wheel, colored interior lighting, facial recognition for driver settings and driving assist, vented front seats. Nuff said. It has more that we need. The hybrid system seems to work flawlessly. We have no complaints. It does not have the power of the other engines but has enough. We don't go racing around. My other vehicle is a 19 4Runner TRD ORP and is very slow compared to this. I am very happy with this purchase.
After six month of ownership and about 5k miles, The MPG is pretty close to what is claimed. Hard to believe for a vehicle of this size. Only gripe, the passenger side dash keeps popping off on it's own and hanging down. No other issues.
