REVIEW: The fifth generation of the Lexus RX has arrived, and the luxury SUV gains plug-in power. Is it any good?
A combined electric power output of 233bhp gives the RX 450h+ good EV drivability, and as long as there’s a sufficient charge in the battery, it's equally easy-going in hybrid mode. Yes, there’s some CVT-typical mooing if you put your foot down hard, but it’s pretty muted and the motors can take the strain most of the time.
The RX does claw back plenty of points with its comfort. Lexus has done an excellent job at isolating you from the outside world. Motorway cruising is very serene indeed, and the kind of rough roads that can cause rivals to stumble aren't a problem for the RX, despite our test car riding on 21in wheels. So far, we’ve only driven a range-topping Takumi car, which comes with adaptive dampers; lower-spec cars may behave differently.
