Detailed analysis of the Lexus RX 450h Luxury · 68 CV (2011-2012)
General description
The Lexus RX 450h of this generation is not just a luxury SUV; it's the manifesto of a philosophy. It was one of the pioneers in demonstrating that opulence and efficiency could coexist in perfect harmony, offering a premium driving experience wrapped in a silence and smoothness that redefined the segment.
Driving experience
Getting behind the wheel of the RX 450h is like entering a bubble of calm. The transition between the electric motor and the V6 gasoline engine is so imperceptible it seems like magic. There are no vibrations, just a constant, serene push that isolates you from the stress of the outside world. It accelerates with surprising force thanks to the electric support, but its true calling is not pure speed, but to devour miles with a comfort and ride quality that pampers its occupants.
Design and aesthetics
Its exterior design flows with a timeless elegance, avoiding aggressive edges to embrace soft, aerodynamic shapes that convey a sense of solidity and refinement. Inside, it's a sanctuary. Every material, from the leather on the seats to the wood inserts, has been chosen and assembled with an artisanal precision that delights the senses. The space is generous and the atmosphere invites relaxation, turning every journey into a first-class experience.
Technology and features
The crown jewel is its Lexus Hybrid Drive system, a work of engineering that was light-years ahead of the competition in its day. It achieves ridiculously low consumption for a vehicle of its size and weight, all with the advantage of an ECO label. Beyond its mechanics, the Luxury version's equipment included technological advances focused on comfort and safety, such as its infotainment system with the innovative Remote Touch control and a perfectly isolated acoustic atmosphere.
Competition
In its time, it faced the powerful German diesel SUVs like the BMW X5, the Mercedes-Benz ML, and the Audi Q7. While they bet on torque and the brute force of diesel, the Lexus offered a quieter, more refined, and ecologically conscious alternative. Its true conceptual competitor was the Porsche Cayenne S Hybrid, although the RX 450h always played in its own league, that of reliability and absolute comfort.
Conclusion
The Lexus RX 450h is much more than a car; it's a statement of intent. A smart and sophisticated choice for those who value quiet luxury, proven technology, and legendary reliability over ostentatious sportiness. It is a refuge on wheels that, even today, remains a benchmark for how a luxury hybrid vehicle should be built.
