2024 LEXUS RX 450H+ REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Lexus RX 450h+ is presented as the ultimate RX model, offering a compelling plug-in hybrid powertrain that delivers impressive electric range and overall refinement. The reviewer highlights its exceptional quietness and smoothness, particularly in EV mode, and praises the premium interior appointments, including the Mark Levinson sound system and available bamboo trim. A standout feature is the real-world electric range achieved, exceeding expectations at 46.6 miles in favorable conditions. However, the significant price tag of $76,000 for a loaded model is a major drawback. The reviewer suggests that the RX 350h offers a similar luxury experience and efficiency for considerably less money, making the 450h+ a difficult value proposition unless the plug-in capability is a must-have. The styling is also noted as a subjective negative point for the reviewer, who prefers other Lexus and Toyota models. Despite its high cost, the 450h+ is deemed the best RX ever made due to its versatility and refinement.
