2024 Lexus RX 450h+ Plug-in hybrid: my new FAVE!
This is the bestselling Lexus RX but this is the rx450h plus which means it’s the plug-in hybrid and this is the first year that we get a plug-in hybrid on the RX this is Nori green pearl which I absolutely adore this green it is so beautiful gorgeous Grill on the RX I absolutely
Adore it it is so sharp we have LEDs very signature Le all the way around the RX 450h plus only comes in the top luxury trim so we have a lot of Luxe features on this one and we even have uh headlamp washers that pop out right here
We have gorgeous big 21in wheels and the green mirror caps match the body color get some uh black trim this this body style is just honestly it’s iconic for Lexus and then we get these cool electronic door handles I believe these were in 2022 or 23 new but basically
It’s a button back here and not the the handle doesn’t actually come out so it’s like a little button as you can see the handle doesn’t actually pop out I really like it with the rx450h plus we have standard all-wheel drive and then again with the gorgeous Lexus light bar I know
We just saw it on the TX the GX I’ve been showing you these Lexus SUVs back to back lately the um pure electric range for this the plug-in hybrid always has a pure electric range about 37 Mi or about 55 kilm which isn’t a ton but honestly most
People drive less than that every day so if you plug it in overnight at home you’re going to get some pure electric kilometers or or miles every single day gorgeous big spacious back end here we have a rubber mat that is a protector I believe that is an option um and then we
Have a tiny little St area under here not really anything significant but we do have a privacy shade and our three rear seats All Fall Down individually all right I know we just had the TX and this all looks identical but we have a very luxurious wood and
Leather wrapped steering wheel that’s so Lexus someone complained at my GX content that none of the trims had wood on the steering wheels and they felt like that was a Lexus trademark thing we have our Tech here that’s watching me to make sure I’m watching the road fully
Digital driver display which I like and I also love I don’t know if you can see these red lights at the bottom but they come on when I put my foot on the brake and I love that um we’ve been getting full charge overnight at home and you
Can see right here our full range is 567 km our EV range right now is 9 kilm but we’ve been getting the full 55 km in pure electric range for this this plug-in hybrid huge screen very responsive Wireless Apple carplay nice touch we’ve got a nice feedback sound for heated ventilated seats heated
Steering wheel dual climate control I love these dials they’re very uh gratifying to touch because they have like a kind of a rubberized outside and then a a a manual volume button which I always really appreciate gorgeous leather and wood combination I believe this is bamboo this is the bamboo option two
USBC two USBC Chargers here and then another USB and USBC in there plus we have a wireless charging pad in here this first cup holder is size adjustable I can push it down for a bigger cup which is really cool and then we can hold our charge on the battery our electronic parking
Brake and absolutely okay I’ve gotten really used to this gear shift knob now I’ve had a Rav 4 and then the TX and then this all back to back I’ve really gotten used to this gear shift knob and this backup camera is phenomenal I know I just showed it to
You in the Rav 4 and the TX amazing technology it it has a front camera as well as this see-through camera that sees below the car very very very cool technology Toyota and Lexus I love it we we have a ton of luxury back here these are semi
Analine and suede seat surfaces they’re so soft and cushy and I love this Macadamia color we get a really cool center uh armrest here with a pop out cup holder and a little storage cubby which would fit a couple of smartphones and then we have gorgeous
Door trim as well the brown with the Macadamia with the suede here our Mark levenson sound system is fantastic and then in um window shades plus this is how the uh electronic doors work from the inside you just push this and open it and then it has a mechanical
Feature as well if you need to if the electronics aren’t working you just pull this we have lots of room back here I’m 5’1 but I have a ton of room this is in my driving position we can move this seat with buttons right here we have heated and ventilated back seats two
USBC Chargers and of course vents all right let’s go for a drive this plug-in hybrid is new for 2024 it is a 2 and 1/2 L 4 cylinder plus three electric motors for a total of 304 horsepower all-wheel drive is standard for the RX 450h plus and it is very
Comfortable I I love the RX having a plug-in hybrid option is amazing um 55 kilm in pure electric range which about 37 miles and I’ve been getting that on a full chart I’ve been getting a full charge at home overnight on just a level
One plug I love the RX and it is a bestseller for Lexus it’s a fantastic two row sporty fun to drive luxurious SUV and this the plug-in hybrid has all of the luxury features in it by default so that comes with a price tag this one is about $90,000 Canadian dollar and about
$77,000 if I priced it right on the Us website so are you choosing the regular RX the 500h which is the hybrid or this plug-in hybrid I personally I love them all but it would really depend on your budget which version or which level of luxury or which level of
Electrification that you would choose leave me a question or a comment and we’ll see you soon
