The 2024 Lexus RX 450h+ Is The Ultimate Plush SUV With An Ideal Blend Of Power & Range

[@theredline]

Hey guys! Happy Saturday! With so many models to choose from, picking the right Lexus RX for you can always be a challenge. But after spending a week with the first-ever RX Plug-In Hybrid, this model seems to strike the best balance of power and fuel efficiency. If you can swing the extra cost, this could be the better buy over the RX 350h and RX 500h. Which powertrain would you choose?

[@naveenthemachine]

The short answer is none of them 😂 The 350 is as slow as a rav4. Any rival is faster and drives a lot better for the same price if not less yet they’re not marketed as performance SUVs. The 350h is still slow. Also why even bother with fuel economy since nobody in their right mind would say “If I want high fuel economy, I’m not gonna buy a Prius, I’ll buy a 70K luxury car.😱”? Luxury car buyers don’t care about mpg. If it did, then where’s the 50mpg x5, or 50mpg m5, or 50mpg x3m40i, or 50mpg stelvio quadrifoglio, or a 50mpg SRT, or hellcat, or c8 corvette? Exactly… they don’t exist. Why? Because at this price point, fuel economy does not matter. If you want the ultimate luxury of fuel efficiency, there’s a Prius or Camry hybrid with your name on it. The 450h+ is still slow but way overpriced. $70k and you only get 300hp… remember that you have to go for this version to be as fast as an xt6 v6, qx60, nautilus, base ford explorer 2.3, etc. so you’re basically paying $15-$30K more just to match the performance of those rivals. A comparably priced RX to those rivals will be significantly slower The 500h is still slow but also overpriced. $70k and the performance isn’t even better than a rav4 prime or v6 Camry yet it costs 30K more So unlike the competition, there’s no recommendable powertrain. In the x5, the 40i is enough. You don’t even need the v8. In the aviator, the 3.0T is the only engine but it’s coincidentally a great powertrain since it excels in performance and power. Any engine is great in the gv70 or gv80 since they also excel in performance and power.

[@willthorson4543]

I just don't care for plug in hybrids. Hybrids? Sure. But i just thinkits odd combination.

[@CatNMrDJ]

CVT? Nah, forget that crap!

[@joecrash1232]

It’s actually an eCVT, not regular CVT. This specific kind found in most Toyota and Lexus hybrid uses planetary gear sets and not belt driven like conventional CVT.

[@CatNMrDJ]

@@joecrash1232 Kool Beans 🫘 I have the RAV4 Hybrid Limited; don’t remember what it has, for my daughter drives it. If it has the same setup, then I guess it’s ok.

[@joecrash1232]

⁠@@CatNMrDJYup, that’s the same exact transmission used in the RX 350h and 450h+ (from video).

[@blackwhirlwind1245]

None of the Toyota hybrids use traditional CVT, it’s either eCVT that acts as a direct drive transmission, or a traditional automatic transmission.

[@naveenthemachine]

But it acts like a cvt so it’s technically still a cvt

Naveen is what they call in American, a wing nut.

[@dilshodsayfidi]

Toyota/Lexus cars are becoming a joke.

[@naveenthemachine]

Agreed. Some Toyotas are good but the vast majority of Toyotas Lexus models are the biggest jokes in the industry They make Nissan or Infiniti look a lot better

[@wilbertspence3032]

I don’t think so Toyota for me or a chevy I had Nissans before nothing but trouble

[@jacksoncornbreadmcbride6763]

The biggest jokes are you and Naveen. Toyota/Lexus is the best on the planet

[@lilred1107]

Been

[@naveenthemachine]

@@jacksoncornbreadmcbride6763 no they’re not That’s what blind cultist followers of Toyota would say. You would outright dismiss any compromise just for the sake of mythical reliability. You’d be willing to live with an uncomfortable driver seat and a very noisy cabin just for reliability

[@robertarthur3711]

It’s not expensive unless you are poor

I came here before you all had the chance to say my name 😂

[@bryanharris2319]

lol did you get rid of the Camry yet since you always bashing the brand

[@naveenthemachine]

@@bryanharris2319 nice try. 😉 The 3.5L v6 is the real deal in the Camry. It’s a complete peach of an engine and now it doesn’t exist. Mines a 2020 so I got mine at the right time Now had I gotten the noisy 4 cylinder you’d be right

[@austin.2716]

Hey Naveen, can you rank these brands in order from best to worst please: Audi, Mercedes, BMW, Lexus and Genesis.

[@naveenthemachine]

@@austin.2716 Lexus is down at the very bottom. BMW is on top 🥇. Mercedes and Genesis are second 🥈Audi solid third🥉

[@austin.2716]

@@naveenthemachine Ok, now explain to me what the thought process was. Basically the reasoning behind your answer.
