    My 400H is a workhorse with 200k ....runs amazing, and I still get great mpg, and the hybrid battery 🔋🔋🔋 lasts....mines 14 years old already running strong AF!

    The manual shift mode is not made for that, the purpose is to use a lower gear when going down a hill and use the engine break.

    Here is the stupid thing though... The regular RX takes regular gas, and the hybrid takes premium... Any small improvement on mileage you get is canceled by the extra price per gallon... not to mention, a hybrid powerplant is more complex, heavy, expensive, so you're really not gaining from a financial point of view ... Or from a performance point of view ... Or anything really except to say "oh I drive a hybrid"... meh ....

      This comment is extremely inaccurate in many many ways. The Hybrid does not need premium fuel whatsoever, I get 800-900 km per tank. So no, from a financial point of view you save a lot considering the 450H is only 1.5k more. The minimal loss of power is greatly overweighed by the fuel efficiency...
      Toyota's Hybrid cars are extremely reliable, and not complex whatsoever if you need maintenance... literally any shop can help you with service....
      You start off your comment by saying "Here is the stupif thing though..." yet your comment is extremely ignorant. Maybe educate yourself better, everything you mention is false.

    I have the regular RX 350, 2020 model and it is a gas guzzler for sure. Also, at 1,000 miles the center trim piece on the passenger side dash visibly started to detach from the dash. The passenger side front door is also not properly aligned. Disappointed in Lexus. When I mentioned the trim issue the service manager said "that's not really something we could fix here." Done with Lexus!

      the ev mode button works only if the engine is warmed up, the hybrid system is warmed up, and if theres enough charge in the battery. when you see the ev mode indicator on the dash, then you can engage ev mode. keep in mind, you can only drive up to 1 mile on ev power alone
