Lexus RX450hL FAQs

• What is the difference between the Lexus RX450h and RX450hl?

  First things first, let's recap by stating that the RX 450h is Lexus's petrol-electric hybrid variant of the RX, bringing with it an extra dose of power, acceleration and lower running costs thanks to its electric capacity. Meanwhile, the RX 450hL expands on that by delivering improved amenity and versatility as a family car, distinguishing itself by way of a third-row of seats, yet it still features extra space and a refreshed design.

• What is a Lexus RX 450hL?

  The Lexus RX 450hL is a large, three-row SUV. While it features the same powetrain and features as a standard RX, it's far longer than its baby brother, which allows it to cater for up to seven occupants. Although there is far more space in the RX 450hL than the standard model, room in the third row doesn't quite match some of the other names in this segment. In total, thanks to its six-cylinder 3.5-litre petrol motor, and dual electric motors, this all-wheel drive vehicle spurts out more than 300 horespower.

• Which is better, the RX 350 or RX 450h?

  If you're struck trying to separate these two wonderful models, it's no easy task, yet we still envy you. However, to cut straight to the chase, performance is where these two units exhibit the greatest contrast. Both are mighty cars that come with a real capacity to push further than you might be used to, although the hybrid functionality in the RX 450h makes it stand out as the superior version of the two. Not only do you get an extra boost of power, but low-speed fuel economy is also a benefit that will save you in the long-run.
