Lexus recently launched the RX350h, which is powered by a 2.5-litre 4-cylinder hybrid engine that produces 246bhp to 250bhp. It is a beautiful and stylish car to look at, but will it be able to compete with its rivals? Does it have all the features that its competitor cars are offering? All these things will be discussed in this post.
| Car Name | Lexus RX350h |
| Engine Option | 2.5-litre 4-cylinder hybrid engine |
| Mileage | 18.6 kmpl |
| Features | Ventilated, heated, and have 10-way power adjustment, 14-inch touchscreen infotainment, 12.3 inch fully digital cluster, and much more |
| Price | Ex-showroom price Rs 89.99 lakh |
| First Drive Review | It has a hybrid powertrain, which engages electric mode in traffic jams and shuts down the engine. However, as speeds increase, the engine powers the car and charges the battery. Its engine is smooth, but its competitors are even more smoother. |
If we talk about its front, it has an evolved seamless spindle grille, slim LED headlights, and blade-like DRLs. On the sides, there’s a floating roofline, 19-inch and 21-inch alloy wheels, and power-fold, heated, and reverse auto-tilt mirrors. The car also looks stunning from the rear as it has full-width LED taillights and LEXUS badging.
The car’s interior is also very elegant, with all controls positioned to make it easily accessible to both passengers and the driver. It has a large 14-inch high-definition touchscreen infotainment system in the center of the front, and a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster on the driver’s side.
Its front seats are ventilated, heated, and have 10-way power adjustment. The rear seats are power-reclining, and the rear seating is decent for three passengers. It has a panoramic sunroof and beige upholstery. It offers a 612-liter boot space, which is spacious but not deep. If you fold the rear seats, the boot size increases to 1,678 liters.
This is a hybrid car, and electric mode engages as soon as the car is started, and electric mode continues to operate even in traffic. As soon as you press the accelerator, the engine starts to produce more power. When driving fast on the highway, the car will run on the engine.
When the car is running on a 4-cylinder petrol engine, its battery will also be charged by the engine, so you do not need to charge the battery separately. It has an all-wheel drive drivetrain, which helps in driving even on bad roads, although it cannot be used for off-roading on very bad roads. If I share my final verdict, then this car is good and has a lot of features, but its price is a little high.
