HYBRID WITH A SUPER POWER - LEXUS RX450H+ REVIEW 2023 (UK)

EV Channels Review

The Lexus RX450h+ 2023 offers a compelling blend of plug-in hybrid efficiency and self-charging hybrid capability, addressing common concerns about hybrid range and battery weight. The reviewer highlights its luxurious interior, packed with premium materials, thoughtful details like the adjustable cup holders, and extensive rear-seat amenities including cooled seats and electric recline. The driving experience is praised for its refinement, quietness, and smooth power delivery, particularly noting how the hybrid system avoids the strained noises found in some competitors. A key advantage is its substantial electric-only range (40-43 miles), making it attractive for company car drivers, while the seamless transition to a self-charging hybrid ensures efficiency on longer journeys. Despite the high price point (nearly £80,000 for the test car), the reviewer finds the RX450h+ to be a well-executed and impressive vehicle, offering a high level of standard equipment and a unique proposition in the luxury SUV market.
