Has a friend or member of a family circle ever gone through such a personality change that is absolutely and utterly different from their past?It’s Santa Fe for this new year of style. With an attractive square style, 3 rows of seats and a future. With a hybrid powertrain, the Santa Fe climbs higher up the vehicle food chain than at any time in its 25-year history. With the third row of seats, it now encroaches on Hyundai Palisade’s territory. However, if you don’t make it in the third row, your competitors are a fun combination of Honda Pilot and Passport, Kia Sorento and Toyota Highlander, to name a few.
In fact, practically everything. A cleverly designed exterior suggests sumptuous off-road vehicles that cost thousands more, especially when dressed in a variety of muted hues. The interesting hidden handles appear only on the rear side doors, making it easy to access the roof boxes and putting an exclamation point on Hyundai’s preference for satisfying the desires of the terrestrial crowd with this.
A wonderful but very limited NHL edition will delight hockey fans while also being the only way to get the hybrid powertrain with superior comfort. This is interested in the XRT version, the knobtier tires, and aspirations to head into the woods to locate some berries and maybe growl at some bears. In our opinion, this ornament goes best with ombre or dark green sun tones. The interior also receives a complete renovation, now offering spacious accommodations for 3 rows of people.
This year two possible engine options are presented. First of all, a hybrid powertrain consisting of a 1. 6L turbocharger and electrified gubbins delivers 231 horsepower and 271 lb-ft of torque combined. A small 1. 49 kWh lithium-ion battery holds the fort and activates. when he can. Eagle eyes can identify the presence of this engine through the absence of an exhaust tip at the rear. Meanwhile, a turbocharged 2. 5L engine makes 277 horsepower and 311 lb-ft of torque. Both engines work very well on normal fuel.
According to the federal government, a 2024 Santa Fe equipped with the 2. 5-liter engine can consume 12. 1 L/100 km in the city or an impressive 8. 8 L/100 km on the highway, a smart figure for a vehicle of this type. shape and In total, it is not unreasonable to expect a fuel consumption of around 10. 6 L/100 km. Examples of XRT versions, with more studded tires and some styling differences, are rated 12. 2, 9. 1 and 10. 8 worse respectively. Figures for the hybrid are not yet available.
In late November of this year, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced its list of 2024 model year cars for crash tests under the agency’s 5-star safety rating formula as part of its New Car Rating Program. The new Santa Fe is on this list, so be sure to check the NHTSA for an update when they perform this task. When it comes to active protection features, blind-spot warnings and assists, forward collision avoidance, lane keeping and a driver fatigue tracking formula are all components of the deal in 2024.
Automakers don’t deliberately make unreliable products, so expect the Santa Fe to perform well once enough elements have roamed the streets for a sufficient period of time to build an appropriate pattern size.
If you’re thinking about the “Range Rover,” Hyundai wouldn’t actually argue with it (for starters, check out the design of this guide wheel). The Santa Fe extends up to three rows of seats, giving the entire family circle a position to spread out. Many possible luxury upholstery features are offered, as well as a diversity of trims, as well as a multitude of amenities that appear on the feature sheet. There are more charging ports than a player’s computer (in all 3 rows) and anyone who can’t feel comfortable in the seats of an Ultimate Calligraphy style consult a chiropractor.
From end to tail, the new three-row Santa Fe is 190. 2 inches long, which is shorter than you’d expect (in fact, about the same as a two-row Grand Cherokee), though that’s a testament to how effective this is. The width is 74. 8 inches, the height with the roof side rails is 69. 7 inches, and the minimum ground clearance is 7. 0 inches or 8. 3 inches for the XRT.
Speaking of the XRT, this is the most affordable edition, priced at $49,731 adding fees, but no sales tax. Deluxe editions start at $52,731, while the very rich Ultimate Calligraphy retails at $56,231. As is customary at Hyundai, there are few features, since the logo likes to equip each edition with sumptuous main points rather than providing a massive list of features. Want more?

To ensure that it “will continue to exceed the varied desires and expectations” of those who buy the midsize and premium crossover segment, Lexus offers no less than 18 models and versions built around 4 rugged but effective powertrains, adding a diversity of self-charging systems. . hybrid electric cars and plug-in hybrids. Updates for 2024 include revised interior color palettes, generation updates on the models and a new NX 350 Premium model.
Starting at the rear and expanding the styling range: the NX 250 is supplied with a 2. 5-liter four-cylinder engine with 203 horsepower mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission. This engine generates 184 lb-ft of torque, with a fuel consumption score of 8. 4 L/100 km (city/highway combined). The NX 350 offers even more functionality thanks to a 2. 4L turbocharged four-cylinder engine with intercooled and active noise control, as well as an 8-speed automatic transmission. This style makes 275 horsepower and 317 lb-ft of torque. This powertrain achieves a fuel consumption of 9. 5 L/100 km (city/highway combined).
For even greater efficiency, the NX 350h is built around a self-charging hybrid electric powertrain with a 2. 5-liter four-cylinder engine and a frequently variable electronic transmission. This configuration delivers 240 net horsepower, impressive torque, and an equally impressive fuel economy score. 6. 0 L/100 km (city/highway combined). Finally, the NX 450h combines the most productive operation of an electric and hybrid vehicle with a 2. 5L 4-cylinder engine, frequently variable electronic transmission and a high-capacity lithium-ion battery. This configuration generates 304 net horsepower with a fuel consumption of 6. 6 L/100 km (city/highway combined) and a range of 58 km in electric-only mode.
Inside, the NX offers a five-person cabin that can be upgraded on select models with features such as themed interior lighting and a panoramic sunroof. A more competitive style is presented through the Lexus F Sport packages, available in 4 models. Exclusive upgrades, adding mesh grilles, 20-inch wheels, interior trim, gaming seats, a race-inspired steering wheel and aluminum pedals. Every NX features the Lexus interface, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatible multimedia and touchscreen connectivity formula, Bluetooth connectivity and Sirius XM satellite compatibility. All models are supplied with protection features, starting with the Lexus Safety System 3. 0.
Unless you surely want extra interior space, the NX is just as unique as the larger RX, while also offering 90% of this crossover’s luxury touchpoints, in a smaller, more effective package. Its handling and handling are more focused on comfort than sport. But so is the rest of Lexus’ crossover lineup.
There’s a set point for the NX 250; the Signature has an MSRP of $48,900. NX 350 models (including 8) start at $52,550 for the Premium and top out at $66,400 for the F Sport 3. The NX 350h line (6 equipment points) targets from $51,400 for the Signature to $66,950 for the Executive. Finally, the NX 450h starts at $59,900 for the Ultra Premium and ends with the F Sport 3 at $76,600.

The Escape, which was once one of the flagship models of the Blue Oval, is still a bestseller thanks to the logo; even if rumors circulate, it may soon be supplanted by the Bronco Sport as Ford’s competitor in this incredibly competitive segment.
After a complete revamp last year in which the model nonetheless abandoned its suppositories-inspired styling, there are only a few minor tweaks for 2024. Its color palette is slightly expanded with a new shade of red depending on the trim level, while the tasty Atlas Blue abandons the style due to original limitations. Smart access with a start button is now popular in more versions than last year. The Active edition, with an interesting title, is the entry-level style in Canada.
The 2024 Escape will feature either two gasoline engines or two hybrid options. First, the 1. 5L EcoBoost three-cylinder engine makes 180 horsepower and 199 lb. -ft. of torque, and produces a unique exhaust sound thanks to its trio of cylinders. (an unusual configuration). Higher up in the diversity is a 2. 0 L Ecoboost four-cylinder engine with 250 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque, much more appropriate. Guess which one we like best. An eight-speed automatic transmission helps both engines.
In the hybrid aspect of this ledger, there’s a 2. 5-liter mill combined with electrified gubbins to produce an overall formula of 190 horsepower. The motor alone produces about four-fifths of that power, and the electric motor offers the rest. Choose the -In hybrid plug and get behind the controls of 210 horsepower thanks to the same 2. 5L fuel engine but with physically more powerful hybrid inputs.
Equipped with all-wheel drive, like most Escapes sold in Canada, the 1. 5L engine is expected to provide fuel consumption of approximately 8. 4L/100km in combined driving environments. Plan a few tenths on any of the instructions if you’re driving in the city or on the highway. The upgrade to the tougher 2. 0L engine reduces those figures, though not by much, to 10. 2, 7. 6 and 9. 1L/100km in city, highway and combined conditions, respectively.
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety’s crash check dummies give the current-generation Escape perfect marks in its classic checks, adding the complicated overlay tests. However, the modern look affects the checks, which use a ram of such height. and mass, as it should be, constitutes what exists on today’s roads, has revealed that painting is necessary to fully protect the occupants. As such, style doesn’t win any sensible protection awards.
Consumer Reports criticizes the Escape for its expected reliability, giving it a score of 2 out of five and noting that the beyond the general compatibility and the final problems are its main complaint. After all, no one needs wind or water leaks in their new crossover. Estimated owner satisfaction is also austere: CR respondents are satisfied with the convenience and driving experience, but dissatisfied with the overall price given some reliability and inconsistent assembly.
Taking heavily inspiration from other members of the Ford family, the newly redesigned Escape features dual-zone climate control on all models (thanks, economies of scale), as well as the expected phalanx of active protection aids such as lane keeping and pre-assist. in the event of a collision. A giant tablet, placed in landscape orientation, and a 12-inch screen for the motive power indicators are in the maximum finishes, some smaller models settle for a smaller amount of virtual space. The Vista panoramic roof is optional (good news for those of us who have an NBA scholarship), but familiar features abound here, such as plenty of USB Force ports.
The total duration of this style is the same for all versions, measuring 180. 1 inches from tip to tail. The width, mirrors, is 78. 7 inches appropriate, and the height of the vehicle without roof bars and crossbars is 66. 0 inches. In other words, it deserves to fit the vast majority of underground parking areas in condominiums. There is 37. 5 cubic feet of shipping area with all seats unfolded and the trailer reaches 3500 pounds when well equipped.
A total of six editions will be available in our country, starting with the $35,044 Active. It costs less than $1,500 to upgrade to the EcoBoost-powered ST-Line, the hybrid powertrain in that edition costs $6,500. Do the math with fuel savings before you buy. Tony Platinum and ST-Line Elite charge around $45,000 each, and their main differences are chrome or blackout in terms of styling, respectively. In the most sensible place in the stack is a plug-in hybrid for just a few hundred bones, or less than $50,000.

The UX compact crossover first appeared in late 2018 as a 2019 model. Initially presented with a petrol engine (the UX two-hundredth with front-wheel drive) and with the 250h AWD hybrid, the two-hundredth got rid of the line-up. The five-seat UX shares its platform with the Toyota Prius and its fourth-generation hybrid propulsion formula is composed of a 2. 0 L Atkinson-cycle four-cylinder engine and 3 electric motors: two in the front and one motor in the rear. wheels. There are no significant adjustments for 2024.
Under the hood, Lexus’ self-charging hybrid electric powertrain makes 181 net horsepower and is mated to a sleek, frequently variable Direct Shift transmission. Weighing in at 1,635 kilograms, the UX 250h won’t impress anyone with its brilliant acceleration – at full speed. Reaching one hundred km/h will take almost nine seconds. Going from Eco or Normal mode to Sport mode at least gives the impression of a little more desire. Like many small four-cylinders, it takes on a rougher note under more powerful conditions. Accelerators.
At the same time, the hybrid electric configuration, based on the world’s most popular and proven complex drive technologies, is also remarkably fuel-efficient, with a combined city and highway fuel consumption of 6. 0 L/100 km. And all Canadian UX 250h. models are built around a state-of-the-art on-demand all-wheel-drive electronic system. This uses a rear-axle engine to provide exceptional stability and increased traction when accelerating, cornering or driving on slippery surfaces, without compromising fuel power or shipping space.
The interior itself isn’t as sumptuous as other Lexus products, though it’s tidy and has a modern yet undeniable vibe. Most of the controls are easily within easy reach, and Lexus has ditched the “Remote Touch Interface” (RTI) touchpad to work with the functions presented on the center console touchscreen. In addition, the volume slider in the audio formula has been replaced with an undeniable button.
Each UX 250h features Lexus Interface, the brand’s multimedia and connectivity system designed in North America, compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto with touchscreen, Bluetooth connectivity and compatibility with Sirius XM satellites. The interface is a natural language virtual assistant that allows a voice technique for navigation. , media, communication, and other vehicle features.

The 2024 Toyota Venza is unchanged for the design year. Billed as an all-new vehicle for 2021, with a name borrowed from a previous Toyota crossover, this five-seater midsize SUV is available in three trim levels and only one hybrid. It competes in a very active segment of hybrid and gasoline rivals, adding the Chevrolet Blazer, Honda CR-V Hybrid, Hyundai Tucson Hybrid, Volkswagen Tiguan and others, and closer to home, the Lexus NX Hybrid and Toyota RAV4 Hybrid.
The 2024 Toyota Venza has no adjustments since 2023.
All versions of the 2024 Toyota Venza are powered by a 2. 5-liter four-cylinder engine that, on its own, develops 176 horsepower and 163 pound-feet of torque. When the engine is paired with its hybrid electric motor, the formula develops 219 horsepower. The hybrid formula charges automatically and does not plug in. A frequently variable automatic transmission (CVT) sends power from the engine to the front wheels, while the popular all-wheel drive uses an electric motor in the rear to drive the rear wheels. as needed for additional traction.
In his review of the 2023 Toyota Venza XLE, Brian Harper said: “Now, with a 1,770-kilogram w8 and a hybrid setup with only 219 horsepower, the Venza would possibly not win many grands prix on red light, as it would take about 8 seconds. achieve it at one hundred km/h: putting it in Sport mode at least provides a feeling of acceleration good enough for maximum needs. The engine gets noisy when you push the throttle further, and things get better especially at cruising speed. Still, those contemplating a hybrid are regularly more concerned with better fuel economy. . . Overall, the ride is sleek and the handling is very predictable.
Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) rates the 2024 Toyota Venza at 5. 9 L/100km in the city, 6. 4 in the highway and 6. 1 in combined driving. Its annual fuel is estimated at $1,769 for regular gasoline.
2024 Toyota Venza earns highest five-star crash test score from the U. S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration(NHTSA). The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) awarded the 2023 Venza its Top Safety Pick designation. Earned a “Good” score in all but one crash test; It earned the following “Acceptable” score in the impact test of the updated look, which better simulates the impact of a larger SUV. It also earned an “Acceptable” score for the functionality of its headlights.
All versions come with front emergency braking with cyclist and pedestrian detection, right/left turning pedestrian detection, counter-left braking, lane change assist, automatic high beams, adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist, driver knee airbag, an anti-theft coverage system. Spot surveillance and reversing camera mandatory. The more sensible Limited trim adds a rear-camera windshield washer, rear emergency braking, and an overhead view camera.
The 2023 Toyota Venza earned the Consumer Reports “Recommended” badge. It earned an expected reliability score of 4/5 and is expected to be “more reliable than the average new car,” based on knowledge of the 2021 and 2022 models. According to the 2023 J. D. Power U. S. Vehicle Reliability Study, Toyota, as a brand, ranks seventh among all automakers.
Features on the 2024 Toyota Venza LE include push-button start, wireless charger, forced liftgate, eight-inch touchscreen with test subscriptions to Toyota, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay multimedia connectivity, forced driver seat, heated front seats, cloth upholstery and dual-zone climate control, and canvas covers. The impressive trim adds things like a 12. 3-inch center display, premium audio system, heated steering wheel, forced passenger seat, ventilated front seats, leatherette upholstery, head-up display, virtual screen mirror, and a rotating panoramic glass roof. activated.
In his review of the 2021 Toyota Venza, Matthew Guy said: “. . . the controls for the main purposes discovered in the Venza’s center console are impractical. Instead of implementing giant dials for audio and ventilation like those discovered on the RAV4, our tester had capacitive touch buttons that were invisible to the touch, making it hard to tell if you were raising the cabin temperature or pressing a button unnecessarily. The index hands in shiny plastic, such as the LE, feature genuine buttons and dials, sets that. They are expected to migrate to their siblings XLE and Limited.
The 2024 Toyota Venza has an overall lifespan of 4,740 mm (186. 6 inches). Shipping capacity is far from impressive and legroom in the rear is a bit restricted. While driving the 2021 Toyota Venza, David Booth said: “Surprisingly, and I say strange because the Venza is, again, 144 millimetres longer than the RAV4 – the Venza’s boot is about 25% smaller than the RAV4’s. And yes, I checked, this disparity is the same with both the on-site and reclined rear seats. The Venza’s sloping, sloping roof appearance is to blame, or perhaps its upper shipping deck. But whatever the cause, the Venza has particularly less shipping area than its little brother, despite being nearly six inches longer.
The 2024 Toyota Venza costs $41,250 in the LE trim; $48,390 in XLE; and the Limited costs $51,850. While we’re not introducing the intermediate edition of a vehicle just because it’s the one that offers more features than the base edition but is just as expensive as the most sensible model, the Venza is a strong argument for the XLE. It builds on the LE with its larger center display, ventilated dual-force seats, heated steering wheel and hands-free tailgate, while staying below the $50,000 mark crossed by the Limited.

The 2024 Lexus TX is an all-new style for this luxury brand. With 3 rows of seats that can accommodate six or seven occupants, depending on the trim, the midsize TX shares its platform and transmission parts with the new Toyota Grand Highlander. it is presented as the TX 350 only petrol; the TX 500h hybrid; and the TX 550h, which is a plug-in hybrid (PHEV). The TX line competes with rivals such as the Acura MDX, Audi Q7, Cadillac XT6, Genesis GV80, Lincoln Aviator, Mercedes-Benz GLE, and Volvo XC90.
Basically, everything, as the TX is an all-new vehicle for Lexus for 2024. It now occupies the space previously occupied by the Lexus RX L, the three-row edition of the automaker’s popular gaming app vehicle. When this Redesigned style was released for 2023, it lost its third row and the TX is now introduced to those who want extra seats. The TX uses the Toyota/Lexus GA-K platform, which it shares with the Lexus RX and NX, in addition to the Toyota Highlander and Grand Highlander. The TX was manufactured at Toyota’s Indiana plant and was the first Lexus to be produced there.
The TX’s diversity starts with the gas-only TX 350. It uses a 2. 4L turbocharged four-cylinder engine with 275 horsepower and 317 lb-ft of torque, mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission. It includes all-wheel drive (AWD) that primarily forces the front wheels, but can send up to 50% of the engine’s force to the rear wheels if needed for additional traction, a mechanical connection.
The TX 500h also uses the turbocharged 2. 4L engine, slightly modified to generate 271 horsepower and 339 lb-ft of torque on its own. When it works in combination with its self-charging hybrid system, you get a total of 366 horsepower and 406 lb-ft of torque, and with a six-speed automatic transmission. Its AWD system, called Direct4 AWD, uses a rear electric motor to drive the rear wheels, which not only serves to provide traction on slippery surfaces, but also for driving. performance, with up to 80% of the force going backwards. It also includes rear-wheel steering, which automatically turns the rear wheels along with the front wheels to take tighter corners.
The TX 550h PHEV uses a 3. 5L V6 that alone makes 259 horsepower and 247 lb-ft of torque, and up to 404 horsepower when powered by its hybrid system. It uses a frequently variable automatic transmission (CVT) and features Direct4 from the TX 500h. AWD system. When charged, the TX 550h has an estimated range of 53 kilometers on battery strength alone. When the latter runs out, it returns to traditional hybrid operation, automatically switching between petrol, electric power or a mixture depending on driving conditions.
In her first test drive of the 2024 Lexus TX 350h, Stephanie Wallcraft said: “The TX is stable, flat and composed on a variety of terrain without being too stiff, and allows minimal pitching or rolling. The handling of this style also It benefits from more bracing and bracing that the TX receives over the Grand Highlander to impart a more subtle ride feel. Overall, the TX handles and maneuvers exceptionally well for its size, and that’s before we take a look at it. the improvements that can be obtained with the most beloved propulsion systems.
The gas-only 2024 Lexus TX 350 is rated through Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) at 11. 5 L/100km city, 8. 9 highway and 10. 3 combined driving, for an estimated annual charge of $3502. The TX 500h hybrid is rated at 8. 7 city, 8. 4 highway and 6. 5 combined, for an annual charge of $2,924. Both require fuel. At the time of writing, NRCan had not yet released fuel consumption figures for the TX 550h PHEV.
The 2024 Lexus TX has not yet been evaluated by the U. S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. (NHTSA). At the time of writing, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) had done some of its crash checks and the 2024 Lexus TX scored the highest “Good” score for the front passenger aspect overlay, but the next step is “Acceptable” on the front driver aspect overlay. It scored the highest “Good” on the original moderate front overlap (the updated check was done now assesses potential injuries to both the rear passenger and fronts) and “Good” on the updated collision review, which is the best. He pretends to be run over by a giant SUV.
Standard Powerpower Assist Protection features come with Blind-Spot Following with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, Intuitive Park with Automatic Braking, Rear-Seat Reminder, Adaptive Cruise Control, Proactive Driving Power Assist, Automatic Overhead Lights and Pedestrian Front Emergency Braking. detection and intersection assist, tire tension tracking formula (TPMS) and mandatory rearview camera with additional rear steering monitor.
Consumer Reports has not yet assigned a reliability score to the 2024 Lexus TX, but said it expects it to be “more reliable than other new cars,” based on similar styling and Lexus logo scores. This 2024 style is clearly not included for a potential award. in the U. S. Vehicle Reliability Study. 2023 UU. de by J. D. However, in this report, Lexus, as a logo, scored the highest among all automakers.
In his look at the 2024 Lexus TX, David Booth said: “Lexus says the TX, like all of its vehicles, has a driver-centric cabin design. There’s also a huge 14-inch touchscreen for the infotainment system; a 21” speaker. Mark Levinson premium surround sound system and no less than seven charging and communication ports and 3 power outlets. In other words, no iPhone will be left without power. The same goes for the cup holders and garage compartments, even with the front center console; providing the garage area with a lid that opens in several directions.
The TX 350 is available in three trim levels, starting with the Luxe, which includes a 14-inch touchscreen, a 7-inch virtual tool cluster, a panoramic sunroof, a wireless charger, a force-adjustable heated steering wheel, a heated idler, and eight-way force adjustment. Ventilated front seats, heated rear seats and a force-folding third row, among other features. The Ultra Luxury also adds a 12. 3-inch, leather-wrapped package with ten-way force adjustment. front seats, a virtual rearview mirror and a hands-free tailgate. The Superior Executive trim comes with seating for six or seven passengers and adds a wide-view monitor, head-up display and ventilated six-row second-row captain’s chairs.
The TX 500h hybrid is designed for six passengers and can be purchased in F Sport Performance 2 or F Sport Performance 3; The functionality of the vehicle does not change, although the higher number indicates more features. Both are supplied in the same way as the TX 350’s top trim grades, but with F Sport-specific seats and trims.
The 2024 Lexus TX has an overall length of 5,160 mm (203 inches). In his review of the Lexus TX, David Booth said: “Access to the third row is made easier by a sliding assist mechanism. With the shoulder transfer of the seat, the seat first reclines forward, then a “sliding to lend a hand” spring slides and folds the second-row seats. If you order captain-style chairs, there’s another garage compartment in the second two-row center console that can hold a pill or drinks, thanks to a detachable cup holder. Legroom in the third row is generous at 851 mm (33. 5 inches).
The shipping capacity is 572 litres with the third row vertical and 1,625 litres when folded. Towing capacity for all models is up to 5,000 pounds.
The 2024 Lexus TX 350 starts at $68,750 in Luxury, before freight and taxes. The Ultra Luxe costs $71,500; and the Executive costs $79,500 for seven passengers and $80,250 for six passengers. The TX 500h costs $84,200 for the F Sport Performance 2 and $90,200 for the F Sport Performance 3. The TX 550h PHEV price had been announced at the time of writing.
As for our Best Value recommendation, in her first test drive of the 2024 Lexus TX, Stephanie Wallcraft put it best: “Lexus has been selling a lot of hybrids lately – more than 50 per cent of its Canadian sales in 2023 were cars supplied with electrified powertrains. But there is no hybrid here that is strictly adapted to fuel consumption. Instead, hybrid and PHEV models rely on the enhanced functionality that comes with electrification. . . It adds that if it is only a question of fuel consumption, “. . . there are not as many benefits to opting for a hybrid TX as you might expect. . . If you’re looking for more power and the most productive functionality imaginable from your TX, you may want to consider the TX 500h for the price. But the TX 350 AWD’s strength and handling are wonderful without the suspension and transmission upgrades featured on hybrids, so in our opinion, it’s the gas-only TX edition that offers the most productive overall price for your money.

One of the most popular Lexus models on sale, this five-seater SUV has a new plug-in hybrid variant focused on fuel efficiency. There are 14 other RX trim levels, so you shouldn’t find one that fits your needs. It won’t be too difficult.
This year’s flagship name is RX 450h, which is a plug-in hybrid edition of the RX. The automaker also has a wonderful virtual key feature that allows you to use your cellular device as a key.
There are four other powertrain configurations in the Lexus RX family. The base styling (and the exclusive gas-in-the-line styling) RX 350 is supplied with a 2. 4L turbocharged engine with 275 horsepower, while the RX 350h offers a combined and staggered 246 horsepower. Advanced fuel efficiency. Those who want more functionality can opt for the RX 500h, which has 367 hp, or if they want even greater efficiency, the plug-in RX 450h has a combined power of 304 hp and an extended EV range.
In a recent review by Stephanie Wallcraft, she noted that “the force delivered in the RX is fast and responsive, especially in game mode. “In addition, they said that the SUV feels “planted and stable, even when driving while absorbing road imperfections. “The 500h is also popular with active 4-wheel drive. This feature allows the rear wheels to rotate up to 4 degrees to take tighter turns.
