SavageGeese gave the 2024 Lexus RX450h+ a mixed 58/100 score, praising its exceptional livability and reliability with quiet cabins, solid construction, and excellent fit and finish that feel substantially more premium than competitors like the NX. The plug-in hybrid excels in fuel economy with 36-38 miles of EV range and offers transparent drivetrain tuning, though the $70,000+ price point is steep for a vehicle that lacks adaptive dampers, features finicky safety systems with constant beeping, and includes questionable design choices like plastic-looking fake wood trim and laggy digital door handles. Specific drawbacks include missing soft-close doors requiring constant slamming and engine sound that detracts from the premium feel when exiting EV mode. The RX450h+ is best suited for long-term owners willing to pay a premium for a dependable plug-in hybrid with home charging capability and a decade-plus ownership horizon.
