About

The Lexus RX 450hL 7-Seater is a midsize luxury hybrid SUV that stands out for its luxurious interior and advanced features. Powered by a 3.5-liter V6 hybrid engine, it produces 308 bhp and 335 Nm of torque, coupled with an all-wheel-drive system. The SUV features a spacious cabin with semi-aniline leather upholstery, automatic dual-zone climate control, and a comprehensive list of safety features including airbags, ABS, and electronic stability program.

Our take on this /// Verdict

The Lexus RX 450hL is a luxury SUV that excels in comfort and craftsmanship but falls short in several key areas. While it boasts a luxuriously crafted cabin with ample leather and soft-touch materials, the overall driving experience is marred by its floaty handling and complicated electronics. The hybrid powertrain, although efficient with a claimed mileage of 18.80 kml, does not translate into compelling performance, especially when compared to its rivals. The RX 450hLs high price point of over 1.11 crore makes it a tough sell, especially when considering the lack of a wow factor that other luxury SUVs in the market offer. For those prioritizing comfort and fuel efficiency, it might be a viable option, but for those seeking a more engaging drive, there are better alternatives.

Price

The Lexus RX 450hL 7-Seater comes with an ex-showroom price starting at 1.11 crore in India. When you factor in the on-road costs, including taxes, registration, and insurance, the price can easily exceed 1.20 crore. This places the RX 450hL in the premium segment of luxury SUVs, competing directly with other high-end models from brands like BMW, Mercedes, and Audi. The price is steep, but it reflects the vehicles luxurious features, advanced technology, and the prestige associated with the Lexus brand. However, the value proposition is questionable given the vehicles performance and handling shortcomings.

Latest Updates

Wednesday, 28 February 2024 05:32 AM The 2024 Lexus RX 450h+ has been praised for its quiet and refined driving experience, particularly in electric mode, where it operates with the silence of an electric car. This makes it an excellent choice for those who value a serene driving environment. I think this feature will be a major selling point, especially in urban areas.

Wednesday, 14 February 2024 07:03 AM Lexus has introduced the RX 450h+ with a significant upgrade in technology, including a larger 18.1-kWh battery pack that provides up to 37 miles of electric-only propulsion. This addition makes the RX 450h+ a viable option for those looking to reduce their reliance on gasoline. I believe this move will attract more eco-conscious buyers.

Tuesday, 08 August 2023 07:04 AM The 2024 Lexus RX 450h+ features a robust powertrain, combining a 2.5-liter inline-4 engine with three electric motors, resulting in a total system output of 304 horsepower. This setup ensures quick acceleration and efficient fuel economy, making it a strong contender in the luxury SUV segment. I think the performance is impressive, especially for a hybrid.

Tuesday, 08 August 2023 02:34 PM The RX 450h+ is built on the GA-K platform, which is designed to be lighter and more rigid than its predecessor, using stronger metals and innovative adhesives. This enhances the vehicles handling and ride comfort, making it a pleasure to drive. I believe the engineering behind this platform is a key factor in its success.

Tuesday, 08 August 2023 06:20 PM Lexus has priced the 2024 RX 450h+ starting at around Rs. 69 lakh (approximately $70,080), making it the most expensive variant in the RX lineup. Despite the higher cost, the vehicle offers significant benefits in terms of fuel efficiency and luxury features. I think the price is justified given the advanced technology and comfort it offers.

Wednesday, 09 August 2023 12:17 AM The RX 450h+ comes with an all-wheel-drive system, featuring a motor at the rear axle for near-instantaneous drive force application, which improves handling and controllability. This system, combined with the DIRECT4 all-wheel drive, enhances the overall driving experience. I believe this feature will be particularly appealing to drivers who value stability and control.

Tuesday, 08 August 2023 10:26 AM The 2024 Lexus RX 450h+ boasts an upscale interior with impressive build quality, roomy and comfortable seats, and a large, easy-to-use touchscreen. These features align with Lexuss reputation for luxury and refinement. I think the interior design is one of the standout aspects of this vehicle.

Wednesday, 09 August 2023 12:46 AM The RX 450h+ can be fully charged in as little as 2.5 hours using a 240-volt source, thanks to its 6.6-kW onboard charger. This quick charging capability makes it more convenient for daily use. I believe this is a significant advantage over some of its competitors.

Tuesday, 08 August 2023 06:55 PM Lexus has emphasized the environmental benefits of the RX 450h+, highlighting its ability to operate on electric power alone for up to 37 miles, which is sufficient for most daily errands and commutes. This makes it an attractive option for those looking to reduce their carbon footprint. I think this is a smart move by Lexus to appeal to the growing eco-friendly market.

Tuesday, 08 August 2023 08:42 AM The 2024 Lexus RX 450h+ is expected to compete closely with other luxury plug-in hybrid SUVs, such as the Volvo XC60 Recharge and the Audi Q5 55. Its performance and features place it in a strong position within this competitive market. I believe it has a good chance of standing out due to its unique blend of luxury and efficiency.

Mileage

Tuesday, 19 November 2024 11:42 AM The Lexus RX 450hL is touted for its efficiency, with a claimed mileage of 18.80 kml. While this is impressive for a luxury SUV, real-world mileage may vary. Given the hybrid powertrain and the vehicles weight, it is likely to deliver respectable fuel economy, making it a good choice for those concerned about running costs. However, actual mileage can be influenced by driving conditions, and it may not always meet the claimed figures.
