Of all the RX models I would consider this 450+ or the 500h.

I love the fact that you take every Lexus SUV on a trail route when reviewing them. This give me options depending on the terrain to choose the correct SUV for my travels

Thank you great camera work and details as well.

I’ve had mine for almost a month… I love it. Been driving it a ton. Nearly 1400 miles and still a half a tank of gas. It’s sooo comfy and feels amazing behind the wheel. At first I was a bit offput by it having the same drivetrain as the Rav4 but then I realized, it’s just a damn good engine that is tried and true. arguably no one does hybrids/phevs better then Toyota/Lexus. It’s dependable. It’s got plenty of torque and speed, and is honestly so relaxing to drive. I’ve been getting roughly 40miles on a full charge over night on a level one charger. I personally like the design over the new X5 and Volvo offerings.

Ryan, I would like to think that the upcoming Crown Signia will be the poor man's Lexus RX. 😉

If I had the money, this would be my forever car

It’s another excellent review. 👏 Is there any chance of testing a Grand Cherokee with Quadra-Drive I (like Limited 4X4)? Everybody is testing out the advanced 4x4 versions, but seeing how the QD-1 system performs at your off-road track would be great.

That grille reminds me of thermoplastic picnic tables.

Interesting variation of the Rav4 Prime that is in such high demand. Pity about the 21" rubber banded wheels and infotainment (heads up for buttons, given sunglasses knocks the display out, is a bummer).

This is my dream car. I really like it. I miss my Prius plug in, and it only got about 8 miles on electric after 150k miles (about 12 when new).

Question; Did Toyota (Lexus) finally made an extended seat on the leg part? As much as I like Toyota (not their prices mark up) they should do a better work with their seat comfort. I don’t know if this is an issue just for Toyota. Never owned a Lexus.

In the future can you test the NX350h?

I reckon there is a lot there to like in a commuter/family CUV. Not sure that is my choice of a road going rig tho. Used to love the older RX350. But I would not consider them for off pavement travel unless there was no other options. Capable, does not = should do. lol

2:06: naturally aspirated, not turbocharged

Buying the RX 450 for $76k when you can get a GX 550 for less is insane.

I’d like to see your review on the Lexus TX 350. If you think that is worth over grand highlander hybrid max powertrain for a similar price. I like the max powertrain.

I wish it was standard hybrid vehicle not plug-in. End who else could take it off road? Only You Ryan. Great review as always. Greetings

So, it’s off road capability similar to Rav4?

I hate the steering wheel controls. They are right up there in terms of bad design like Acura's TouchPad for the infotainment.

I can’t wait to buy one of these right before I go into the nursing home.
