Nice video Tommy. Should be noted switching between ev and hybrid mode (bottom button) by default it's in the hybrid mode but favors ev meaning it will always use ev unless you hammer the throttle. And you don't have to manage that mode.
The top button is if you want to charge the battery using the engine.

Rav 4 Prime has a similar system but gets into the 40s mile range

I thought 450+ used 2.5 NA engines, not 2.4 Turbo. Correct me if I am wrong

Love the looks. Got to sit in one when they touring the US, and it was very nice. But $$$.

CPO Lexus is the move. Don’t buy new. But DEFINITELY buy one if you can. This will be my wife’s next car.

Is it worth the price though? I mean, I know it's a Lexus but... is it so much better than the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV?

Save up 60% on Certified Pre-owned Lexus RX450h Hybrid, which I purchased.

The value of my certificated pre-owned RX450h still holding strong on all levels.

So the battery holds an equivalent of 1 gallon of gas for this car. If you used the full battery 5 days a week and gas was $4 a gallon, you would save a gross of $80 per month, minus the electricity cost to charge during that month, so a net savings of maybe $40 per month depending on your electricity rates. Regular hybrids make the most financial sense.

At 75 grand, there’s a lot of very compelling and better choices. Silly to pay these prices new, especially with some dealers putting up ‘market adjustments’ on the cars. Pass.

Pretty much the same thing as the RAV4 Prime, I suppose? Just Luxury and better quality.

Think it just depends on your commute, this isn't much cheaper than the BMW and that has about 10 more miles of EV range. It's thirstier outside of that though. The Volvo PHEV is about the same as the Lexus and has a bit more range too, about the same price.

Very informative video guys but too rich for my budget.

Can you charge the battery from the engine while driving?

Congrats on the pregnancy Tommy boy, we knew you could do it 🧑‍🍼 just saw the news on Reddit

$76k? Plus 10% tax and license, no thank you. Compared to my 2019 Ford Fusion Energi PHEV, close but no cigar. I paid $30k out the door, I can go 38 miles real world electric only, and still have 600 miles on the hybrid/gas engine.
The window sticker showed 84 mpge and 35 mpg on the Lexus. My Ford gets 103 mpge and 43 mpg in hybrid/gas mode.
Ok. No AWD. Yes my Ford has a small trunk. But for a buyer to pay $84k out the door, seems like a tough sale. Even if I add the cost of my 2017 A3 eTron, PHEV and my Energi together, I’m not up to the mid 70’s yet. A new long range M3 Tesla is $54k. Look at that instead.

2:16 look at that panel gap next to the heads up display.

I've never seen snow at 49 degrees

Five stars tommy. You are really doing well with everything I say it a lot but you have grown tremendously. Bud. How and why Brendan ever left your brotherhood we shall never understand 😂

My out lender can do 40-50 and is more capable off-road and much cheaper

[timpowell]

Yeah that’s going to be a no from me dog.

No way not worth the money plus when I went in to negotiate the said $72k from $76k just by saying no it took less than 1 minute to save $5k true story I have the email . I still said no because I never buy sunroofs and they are being built with 100% sunroofs.
