2020 Lexus RX 450h review

1. Functional and flexible interior 

It's a luxury SUV but the 2020 Lexus RX 450h has a few functional tricks up its sleeve to add to its plush credentials. For example, the second-row seats are 40/20/40 split-folding, which gives you a wide array of configurations for a total of 55.9 cu-ft of cargo space. Plus, there are storage pockets, cubbies, and nooks throughout the interior to store small items. 

2. A quiet and comfortable ride 

Escape from the noise and bustle of the outside world in a 2020 Lexus RX 450h cabin. For example, the suspension dampens most harsh bumps and keeps road noise at bay, while the solid build and high-end materials isolate you from highway wind noise. The result is a quiet, smooth, and pleasant ride, no matter where you find yourself. 

3. Capable engine that goes further 

By combining the power of a V6 gas engine with an electric motor, the 2020 Lexus RX 450h spends more time driving and less time at the pump. That’s because you’ll get an EPA-estimated 28 mpg highway and 31 mpg city fuel economy in the 2020 Lexus RX 450h.

4. Confident handling and performance 

Breaking free of the crossover SUV stereotype, the 2020 Lexus RX 450h feels more like a sedan from behind the wheel. That’s because the suspension keeps body roll and wheels planted during aggressive handling, while sharp steering responds quickly to your input. Or, get the F Sport package for even more thrills, thanks to adaptive suspension and a lowered ride height. 

5. Plenty of standard tech 

From driver assists to infotainment, the 2020 Lexus RX 450h has many of the technology features you want as part of its comprehensive standard list. For example, Android Auto^™ and Apple CarPlay^® smartphone integration, an eight-inch touchscreen, and a nine-speaker sound system are standard equipment. Plus, adaptive cruise control, forward collision mitigation, lane-keep assist, blind spot monitoring, and others make up the standard driver assist technology.
