2020 LEXUS RX 450H REVIEW | LUXURY HYBRID PERFECTION

EV Channels Review

The 2020 Lexus RX 450h receives a positive review, highlighting its continued dominance in the luxury SUV segment. The reviewer praises the 2020 refresh for its subtle yet impactful exterior updates, including the triple-beam headlights, revised grille, and new 20-inch wheels, noting they make the vehicle look sharper. Inside, the most significant upgrade is the new infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, operated via a much-improved touchpad. The reviewer also commends the comfortable ride, quiet operation, and the extended 10-year/150,000-mile hybrid battery warranty. While the driving dynamics are largely unchanged from previous models, the hybrid powertrain offers a slight horsepower advantage over the standard RX 350 and excels in city driving, achieving an impressive 43 MPG. The reviewer identifies no significant weaknesses, though notes a desire for more power and a potential future for a plug-in hybrid variant. Overall, the RX 450h is presented as a reliable, comfortable, and efficient choice for its target demographic.
