450h SE-L Premium - If ever a car tried to be all things to all men (and women) then it’s the Lexus RX. Part family car, part exec cruiser, part estate and part 4x4 SUV, the new, much-modified RX450h is the third-generat... read more

In the main I am very pleased with this car. The laser guided cruise control is simply awesome and I use it all the time. The USB ports for the iphone are in a place that is difficult to access. Not sure why they have done this. The seats in the 450h are much better than the 400h that I had previously. DAB is a real winner as is the USB when you can find it. The ride for me is much better than the 400h and the steering is much more responsive. (I found the 400h steering to be sluggish). I have two issues with this car. The MPG figures are simply lies. If you get 33mpg you are doing very well. Any notion of 40+ mpg is Mary Poppins. The RX450h article states that careful driving will yield 50mpg. Please do not believe this. I do long journeys and dont get 33mpg. I rarely go above 80mph. So please be very careful when believing these mileage figures. At time of writing this article the Sat Nav is returning some illogical routes. I have taken this matter to Lexus GB and they are looking into the matter, albeit very slowly. If you want good sat nav functionality then dont buy a Lexus. Get a lesser car and buy a tom tom or garmin sat nav. Their functionality and ease of use leaves the lexus for dead. If you want a luxury car in the shape of an SUV, and want to pay a small amount for road tax, but don’t care for Sat Nav, then I recommend this car. If you think you are going to get 35+ mpg from a 3.5 litre V6 engine then you are living in cloud cuckoo land. I accept that this car has two large electric motors but they are used more for power enhancement than only running on electric power. Finally, if you want to buy Lexus due to the fact that it is JD Power number 1 for customer satisfaction then again I would urge caution. This is my second Lexus and I am yet to witness any pursuit for perfection in terms of customer service. I have purchased from two main franchises and both have shown no regard for me as a customer once the sale is made. Lexus as the parent company have shown little more regard. So if customer service is not a big issue then I recommend this car.

Owned since new, this is my second Lexus RX. My first, the 350 petrol, was bought second hand and was reliable, albeit with some problems with the air suspension which were fixed under warranty. The driving experience with the 400h is much better, although it is heavier, the centre of gravity is lower and the seamless auto box much more controllable. No problems at all with the 400h after 1.5 years - spacious, refined, well equipped, solidly built, good looking, economical (29-35mpg - not quite as good as manufacturer’s claim), deceptively fast, friendly efficient dealer (just as well since there’s limited choice).

I have just replaced my wife’s ML 270 Mercedes with the RX300 and I must say that it is in another class. The car was bought second hand with 23,000 miles on the clock. The levels of comfort and attention to detail put most other 4x4s to shame. I am a Lexus fan already with two previous LS 400s both of which gave impeccable service both reaching around 100,000 miles before I sold them. I would recommend the RX to anyone looking for a well thought out and driver friendly 4x4.

Superb vehicle all round. Very reliable and comfortable long distance. Complicated/different from non-electric cars so basic things like brake fluid flush cannot be done in the usual manual way - need to go to a garage. Oil changes - standard. Nothing ever breaks on this car so apart from service items nothing spent so far. Some minor dash squeaks fixed under warranty about a year ago. All in all, my first but will not be my last Lexus. I wish Lexus would brand the Land Cruiser here as they do in the US and take it up a level in luxury.

The car is good, almost every thing RX330 is OK, the only concern is that the warranty of important parts in the car is only for 3 years. This really is a shame for a car that carries the Lexus name and quality level (other less quality cars e.g. Hyundai have a warranty of at least 4 years!)

I personally feel the RX is a cut above other 4x4’s out there. Exceptionally roomy and comfortable and very enjoyable to drive. I admit I was a Lexus fan before owning this one and I can’t see that changing any time soon. I’d recommend this to anyone looking for a 4x4 with a bit of class.
