Does the 4 cylinder bother you?? That's my only holdback hesitation

@@cvshav Not at all. You won't feel the need for a 6 cylinder, as the car has more than enough torque. You wouldn't notice when the engine comes on anyway, and part of the roaring sound (faint as it is) you hear when you floor it is artificially created through the speakers. Of course, I would recommend you drive it a bit and see how you feel it before buying, you may have a different opinion than mine. One more thing: going with 4 cylinder was smart since it would be the only way to achieve higher gpms in a performance SUV. I may be wrong, but I think they will never go back to 6-cyl anytime soon.

You are very correct. The car is great as it is. Sometimes people talk about things that you won’t even need once you start to enjoy the car. A car cannot tick all the boxes, even those German alternatives.

Window sticker says Canada

i have red interior with silver exterior 500 h in canada :)

Because you have to pay extra for them

It hides underneath the rear spoiler, as far as I know

@@jamiele9638Your statement is correct

We spoke to the engineers. It's the same engine as the Crown and Grand Highlander, which both use regular. It will just make a bit less power: carbuzz.com/news/2024-toyota-grand-highlander-has-a-secret-to-make-more-power

@@carbuzzcom thanks. I will send this to Lexus Canada so they better inform everyone

@@carbuzzcom just spoke to Lexus Canada. They state this is not the case and can’t verify based on you speaking to someone. Very frustrating and now I’m left nowhere. A reference or point of contact (name email etc) would be useful. They quoted the service manual again and again which states premium fuel only.

@@beansy99 they are simply referencing what is recommended to customers. But the engine is EXACTLY the same as the one in the Crown and Grand Highlander, which both run on regular fuel. There is nothing mechanically different about the RX other than it runs on premium.

Yeah, we need a road that isn't busy, has turns, and doesn't have lights. Those are rare in Florida. We found one, but it's short.

It's a Lexus. Should be fine. Turbos have existed forever.

@@carbuzzcom most definitely..

Exactly 6cyl are best

The 500h feels just like a supercharged V6. I have the 2024 500h and came from a 2022 Range Rover Sport HST with a supercharged 395HP V6. My 500h feels just as fast and powerful as the Range did, but the Lexus is much much smoother!!… I don’t miss the V6 at all!
