2024 Lexus RX450h+ | MotorWeek Road Test

While Lexus didn’t create the luxury SUV, their RX certainly led in making posh, car-based crossovers so popular; a move that so many other luxury brands have now followed. They also brought electric assistance to the segment well before anyone else. But, it has taken them until now to get fully plugged in to what a hybrid is capable of.

[regalgs]

Wow, that is a beautiful shade of green.

[Mark-dehj]

Excellent review! Been eyeing the 500h but could easily be persuaded by this. That price though, ouch!

[RevLexus]

Great video, I really like the new RX

[nickb]

A CVT with paddle shifters in a Lexus ???

[kevinw]

New car prices are the best true inflation indicator.

I thought the RX450h was from the previous-gen RX. Isn’t this new RX supposed to be called RX500h+?

[philhenderson]

Why bother getting this when the CX90 PHEV exists! It's superior in very measurable aspect. And unlike this RX, the Mazda is a TRUE Japanese, fully assembled vehicle.

Toyota company is smart for not ditching the car market in favor of the SUV fad. They were only cool because no one had one. But now that everyone has one it isn't as exciting anymore.

This is a mortgage . Lexus is number 1 in quality but avoid hybrids like the plague

[mervinprone]

This isn’t affordable - at least in Canada. It’s $99, 000 and $1800/month to lease. And for that, you have to plug it in everyday and put up with a noisy 4 cylinder engine. I honesty don’t know who would buy this.

[LandonMillertotheMaxx]

well, its almost the same look as the original RX, but it's a plug in. but someone just needs to invent a PHEV version of the GX550 with a 6 or 8 speed automatic, and ditch the CVTs or eCVTs. because these CVTs are getting old. but good look for the PHEV RX

[RandyMarcks]

No spare tire or run flat tires, only a repair kit.

[bill]

They have really gotten cheap with the cvt bullshit. Put a real transmission in a Lexus. WTF. No thanks!

[billyrock]

Insanely expensive. Basically the price of a house only a decade ago.

$100, 000 in 🇨🇦

Nobody with any monetary common sense will buy this.

👎🏼 🤮

Another dead on arrival product as usual from a brand who’s not long for this world

They make Infiniti look a lot better
