General description
The 2012 Lexus RX 450h Corporate is a hybrid SUV that combines Lexus' characteristic elegance and luxury with surprising efficiency for its size and performance. Priced at €69,700, it positions itself as a premium option in the segment, offering a refined driving experience and a commitment to the environment thanks to its ECO label.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel of the RX 450h, the predominant sensation is one of smoothness and comfort. The combination of the 3.5-liter V6 engine with the electric motors offers a linear and powerful response, with 299 hp allowing acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 7.8 seconds. The suspension, McPherson type at the front and deformable parallelogram at the rear, masterfully filters out road irregularities, providing a serene ride. The electric power steering is precise and speed-sensitive, contributing to relaxed and safe driving. Despite its weight of 2185 kg, the car feels agile and controlled, although it is not a sports car. The combined consumption of 6.3 l/100km is remarkable for a vehicle of these characteristics, which adds a layer of satisfaction in knowing that you are driving a powerful and efficient car.
Design and aesthetics
The design of the 2012 Lexus RX 450h Corporate is a statement of intent. Its fluid and elegant lines, with a length of 4770 mm and a width of 1885 mm, give it an imposing and sophisticated presence. The sharp headlights and the distinctive Lexus grille give it a unique personality. Inside, the quality of materials and finishes is exceptional, creating an atmosphere of luxury and comfort. The seats are spacious and comfortable, and the 446-liter trunk offers enough space for luggage. Every detail is designed to envelop occupants in an atmosphere of well-being.
Technology and features
Hybrid technology is at the heart of the RX 450h. Its system combines a 3456 cc V6 gasoline engine with electric motors, powered by a 650V nickel-metal hydride battery. The multi-speed automatic transmission, without a clutch, efficiently manages power, sending it to all four wheels (AWD). It incorporates an indirect injection system and Stop&Start, optimizing consumption and reducing emissions. Ventilated disc brakes on both axles, 328 mm at the front and 309 mm at the rear, guarantee powerful and safe braking. The speed-sensitive electric steering and well-calibrated suspension complete a technological package designed for comfort and efficiency.
Competition
In the competitive segment of premium hybrid SUVs, the Lexus RX 450h Corporate faces rivals such as the BMW X5, the Mercedes-Benz GLE, or the Audi Q7. While these offer powerful diesel and gasoline options, the Lexus stands out for its focus on hybrid technology, its smooth ride, and its reputation for reliability. Its ECO label and contained consumption make it particularly attractive compared to its direct competitors, which often have higher consumption and less concern for sustainability.
Conclusion
The 2012 Lexus RX 450h Corporate is a hybrid SUV that stands out for its balance of luxury, comfort, performance, and efficiency. It is a car that invites you to enjoy every journey, offering a serene and sophisticated driving experience.
