REVIEW: We've already tested the plug-in version of the new Lexus RX, but is the regular hybrid the one to go for? Read our verdict to find out...
, but it does mean it changes direction much more willingly, and it feels more settled over bumps and crests. That in turn makes it more comfortable and even moderately enjoyable on a B-road. It turns in well and grips keenly, with limited body roll. Even the steering feels more connected than most.
The Takumi-spec car we drove earlier managed to isolate its occupants even better from low-speed clunks and vibrations thanks to its more sophisticated adaptive dampers, but overall any Lexus RX is still a smooth-riding car that is quiet at a cruise. The exception is the engine. You can just about hear it working on the motorway, and without the extra help it gets from the bigger electric motor in the PHEV, the four-cylinder has to work harder on hills and to get up to speed. Mind you, if you were to run the PHEV on a flat battery, it would be even worse.
While it’s not harsh, the four-cylinder grumble doesn’t help in conjuring a luxurious, effortless experience. Over a few days with the RX 350h, it returned 37mpg – a decent result for a car of this size, but it’s doubtful that will tempt people out of a BMW X5 with a creamy straight six.
