Hey guys! We had a BUSY day filming the all-new Lexus TX this afternoon in Austin, Texas. However, Lexus also surprised us by bringing a full production version of the new for 2024 RX450h+! This is the hotly anticipated plug-in hybrid version of the new Lexus RX and you should expect to see them at your local Lexus dealer by the end of this year! We're hoping to get one for a full week at a later date so we can do more extensive range testing with it. Also, expect us to post two videos on the TX 500h and TX 550h+ on 10/11 at 9am EST! Stay tuned!!

For another $7,000 should I buy this 450h+? Thanks in advance for your opinion

That’s awesome 10 miles more then it’s rated for! I have a 2015 Lexus rx 450h( hybrid) and we love that vehicle! We were waiting for a rx or hylander phev,but I would love it if it had more range. We have a 2019 Chevy volt with a range of 53 miles of electric range and many times I have had 62 miles of range,and also the volt has a 7.2 kw inverter which can get a full charge with a level2 home charger in 2.3 hrs! The quicker charge has come in handy so many times! Home for an hr or 2 on the level 2 charger and almost have a full charge again,and of we go again on electric. I much prefer the reliability of toyota or lexus over the Chevy, but that extra range saves us a lot of money on fuel,it would be difficult to step down in range! I’m hoping the range will increase on the Lexus rx or hylander by the time we want to trade my lexus rx 450h🤞🤞

When will manufactures design and manufacture an updated, modern, high performance Hybrid and stop pushing this 10 year old powertrain? This powertrain should have at least 75 miles of EV range and 50+ MPG, AND have 400 HP. The technology is there, but these manufactures are 10 years behind.

Oh… and no CVT on the RX500H F-Sport! The RX500H also has a spare tire…. I’m guessing this model loses the spare to make room for the extra battery.
@theredline11 ай бұрын
They’re both great choices! We actually don’t mind the CVT in this car because you actually end up driving it in pure EV mode mostly so the car behaves and accelerates like a pure EV. When it does switch to Hybrid mode, it drives like a normal full hybrid vehicle. This car is a great compromise if you’re thinking about going fully electric, but don’t want to deal with the hassle of plugging in on longer road trips and enjoy double the real world range of pure EV’s.

X5 depreciates half its value in 4 years. And no, it aint a class above. Its the same class and RX series outsells X5 by a landslide
@welleechen144411 ай бұрын
Also, now BMW has discounts for all the models including the X5 50e, but Lexus dealers still sell with MSRP or even mark up all their models. After all, why not pick the X5 50e which has the same out-of-the-door price compared to this one.
@theredline11 ай бұрын
The X5 eDrive50i in reality is about $90k comparably equipped to this RX 450h+. The BMW is also about the same size as this car, so they’re in the same class. The Q5 PHEV compares to the NX 450h+.

14:01 actually no, toyota had this passenger seat switch for years already and it’s actually Genesis that’s copying them. My Malaysian spec Toyota Camry had this feature since 2009

Just want to point one thing out. The passenger seat adjustment buttons on the side of the seat is not something that was taken from Hyundai / Genesis.. It's been in Lexus LS models available from 2003 to current... Don't give credit to a polished turd (Genesis) when its not even due.. They are no innovators in the P/S front seat adjustment buttons :)

Genesis isn’t a polished turd. They’re the future and the next Lexus.

Did you say 37 ⚡️miles? Sounds like a long term gas station. Styling looks ok with all the fake functionality. Doesn’t move the needle for me.

Lexus missed the mark with pricing. $70k starting price is the same as Volvo XC90 Recharge which has about the same electric range AND a standard 3rd row. The Volvo 2L turbo engines are reliable too.

Toyota tends to underestimate whereas others (european brands especially) overestimate; carmag's volvo xc90 recahrge test never got over 30 miles in real world driving

I’ve driven both the RX500h and a pre-refresh T8 XC60. Honestly if the 450h wasn’t priced so high it could have been a sweeter deal compared to the XC60. The materials are better in the RX, the RX is a little bit more spacious, and the RX also rode better than the T8 despite it having air suspension. I’ve got to note tho that the T8 is indeed far sportier tho despite both being the top end “sporty” models, and despite being older the pro-pilot assist on the Volvo is better. Reliability is kind of a mystery tho considering the lack of T8s on the road and the amount of complexity with a supercharged, turbocharged, and hybrid setup.

Range figures makes zero sense. How is it possible for the RX and NX to have the same 37 miles of range? RX is slightly taller and wider, but more importantly it weighs an additional ~275lbs. Especially since the normal hybrid gets a few mpg less, I would assume the range would also be less at 35 or so...

I would prefer they stop adding these stupid fake vents on the cars, hindering the aerodynamics. I am inside the car idgaf what it looks like so please, remove those or make them functional.
@chibbyylol11 ай бұрын
It's a compromise between function and 'aesthetic'. Having vents open willy-nilly hinders aerodynamics as well because air no longer flows smoothly around the car but goes in the vents, hitting nothing of importance that needs to be cooled and creates a bunch of drag through the engine bay / engine components The marketing department more or less says "we need a cool grill and some cool vents on this" and the engineer basically responds "okay, we'll make it look like that though because if they're real it wouldn't be as efficient"
