2024 Lexus RX 450h+ PHEV Review: The Best Lexus You Can Buy?

There’s no question the Lexus RX has been a runaway success since it launched some 25 years ago. Not only has it gone on to lead its segment in sales rather handedly, but the RX has long existed as the only conventional hybrid its size on the premium market.
With competitors like BMW and Mercedes-Benz fielding plug-in hybrid (PHEV) entries of their own, however, the 2024 Lexus RX 450h+ arrives as a range-topping trim that mixes familiarity with emissions-free range.

Awesome RX thanks for this video

[@asunjian5196]

Best vehicle in the Lexus lineup...that is high praise indeed

[@KuyaArbee]

It's nice, but I like my 500h F SPORT LEVEL 3, the Adaptive Variable Suspension is a huge + and who doesn't like that Direct 4 drive! and the F sport seats are sweet!

[@rightlanehog3151]

Dan, I think I will stick with an ordinary made in Ontario RX 350h. 😉

[@danilika9420]

Certainly not a terrible choice, but it’s not quite as good as this PHEV!

@@danilika9420 In this instance I will interpret 'not a terrible choice' as a ringing endorsement . 😁

[@TahoeKing]

You missed the biggest issue in this car: the stupid touch sensitive steering wheel buttons! Operating anything from those buttons and watching the feedback in the HUD is a real safety issue as it takes driver eyes and focus away from the road! They really tried to reinvent the wheel in this Lexus (and most Lexus other models too) by doing this stupid technique and also the useless door handles

No head room! They need to get onboard and delete the old sunroof design!

Hi , does the RX 450h+ has a spare tire ?

[@danilika9420]

I can’t speak to the case in other markets, but there is no spare in the Canadian version.
