Forget The Turbo, The 2024 Lexus RX 450h+ Is The One To Get

I wasn't able to drive the new plug in hybrid Lexus RX for long, but it was long enough to discover that you should just forget the hybrid RX, the turbo RX, AND the turbo-hybrid RX, and just get the plug in hybrid model. It's quick to 60, gets nearly 40 MPG and actually improves the luxury feel vs the turbo-hybrid by not only being smoother, but by slashing the number of trips you'll make top the gas station.

Flat out Nope
It costs over 70k and you only get 300hp and very slow performance yeah okay. All the competition is laughing at this nicer rav4
The interior isn t better than a gv80 or cx90 xc90 x5 aviator etc. in fact it also falls behind the qx60 xt6 telluride and palisade.
The Xc90 xc60 x5 aviator cx90 are absolutely better than this rav4 with nicer lipstick in every single aspect.
You shouldn t have wasted your time with this vehicle when you could have just reviewed far superior alternatives

The Lexus is just too small. Not enough cargo space. If you re just going to use it as a city cruiser, I can see it, but then I also don t see the point of getting a 90k car then. You can get a fully loaded top-trim Mitsubishi Outlander for half the price because they ll actually give you the tax credit via leasing and the buyout price will be even lower! Lexus, Toyota and KIA would never because when I brought it up, they acted like they never even heard about it!

Those buttons on the side of the seat, instead of at the bottom at the seat, are strange placement imho. I don't find them ergonomic at all. It's awkward to use your right hand (on the driver seat, and even more awkward to use your left hand where you need to kind turn your body to your right.
Unless I'm missing something.

70k plus for a RAV4 Prime. Admittedly, most of the RAV4 Prime's are advertised for 15 or 20k more than MSRP; but Toyota really needs to step back and be realistic in their vehicles. The Lexus line is a barely tarted up Toyota and is still running on an economy car drivetrain. Just no.

The one TX is a lot more interesting since that has a v6 + the electric motor. Honestly for this price they should have gone with that to seperate themselves from the rav4 prime. The nx is fine with the prime treatment but this is too premium

Alex, If you tell Travis 6: 42 to 'floor it' in a 30 mph zone, who pays the speeding ticket? Let's hope the introduction of a new RX Hybrid with a plug but no spare reduces waiting times for the RX 350H with a spare but no plug.

When the CX-70 comes out, if anybody willingly buys the the NX/ RX I mean it s just not doing your due diligence on research, considering I m guessing a CX-70 won t go above 52-53K?

Yeah good luck getting one if your not living in green state. My local lexus dealership have not been allocated any PHEV this for last 3 years dispite several people on waitlist.

Outliers who have money to burn will love this thing.
The rest of us will buy practical gas engined only cars for decades to come.

Good thing that Travis wore sun glasses so I could keep the reviewers straight. :) Thought I was watching Agent Smith on The Matrix.

At this price range, I'd pick up a 2 year old fully loaded BMW X5 xDrive45e. Much faster/quicker with that sweet inline 6.
