FIRST DRIVE: The ALL NEW RX 450h is here and this is a Lexus SUV with plug-in capability. Under the hood is a 2.5L inline-4 pared with an electric motor and mated to a CVT. On the outside you will see 21in wheels, spindle body design and Nori Green color. On the inside you will be greeted by high end materials, 7in digital gauge cluster and 12.3in infotainment system.

Happy Sunday! This RX 450h really caught me off guard because Lexus gave auto journalists a chance to drive it for the first time at the TX drive event. I apoligize for being an hour late on uploading this review. I just got back from Texas and I am working on a project car that made me lose track of time. Thank you for being so understanding and supportive!

Side note. Nori is a seaweed commonly used in sushi rolls. The nori color is dark that has a green hue. Hence, the color nori green is inspired by a seaweed :)

Test drove the RX recently. The drivers side view mirror made my eyes go crossed. Once i saw it, I couldn't unsee it. The guy at the dealership said he never noticed until I pointed it out and now he couldn't unsee it either. Was a very nice car other than that. Had to pass on it because I cant be seeing double when driving. Still love my ES, but will wait on the TX to become available.

It’s a cornering lamp. Lights up at night when you turn so it helps light up the side when it’s dark out giving you better vision of possible pedestrians or bicyclists.

Does this vehicle have a spare tire? Does it have a self-driving system? I would have liked to see the HUD. I hate the charge connection in the rear. That means I have to back into my garage or else unreel 15 feet of cable. I could care less about the sports car pickup. If I want that I will buy a Mustang. In comparison with the Nautilus, it does not have the 33 way seat adjustments. I like the Nautilus interior much better plus the reclining rear seats. I will sorely miss the HUD in the Nautilus. I am currently driving a 2020 Black Lable Aviator. Its menu system is clumsy if you are driving 60 mph in traffic. The Nautilus seems to be more so. I love the Aviator, it does not have a hybrid in 2024. Also, you cannot read the instrument panel on a bright day. I want to down-size but I am not sure the advantages/disadvantages of either model make a slam dunk choice.

I had the opportunity to drive the Lexus RX last week in Detroit on a competitive evaluation/drive and I was shocked how rough and course the 4 cylinder engine is in the Lexus. The engine does not feel like the likes of luxury. The interior treatment and size is nice and its best attributes. Nice job on implementing the hidden rear wiper (Audi BMW, Mercedes, Porsche take note)
