Top Features of the 2024 Lexus RX
1. Plug-in-hybrid system. Lexus has just released the RX450h+ PHEV, which uses the same drivetrain setup as the Toyota RAV4 Prime and Lexus NX450h+. The Electric-only range is estimated at 35 miles and it gets 83 MPG which makes this option the top pick if you can stand the $70k starting price tag.
2. Lexus Interface System. The RX has Lexus’ latest infotainment system that includes Cloud Navigation, providing high-accuracy traffic information for route planning. The voice control through Intelligent Assistant is accurate and easy to use. Our favorite feature is that they’ve kept the climate control and volume knobs!
