- In this anniversary episode I drive the Lexus RX 450h+ President Line. That is the PHEV version in the most luxurious trim level. And being the owner of a large green Lexus, what do I think of this large green Lexus?

Love your review man and love that you are an actually owner. Many of these so-called reviewers know absolutely nothing about what they're talking about after their brief rides but are focused more on becoming internet stars!
Thanks so much for watching!
Thanks for making these Car Review videos Arnold !
( 1st ! )
Thanks for watching Joe. What do you think of this Lexus?
This was a very enjoyable review, and thank you for the US conversions. This Lexus RX450h+ is the vehicle that I am looking to buy, but I do look forward to watching your other reviews and getting your insight on those vehicles.
Thank you for your comment, much appreciated!
I have exactly the same car, but in black. A few points you perhaps missed: 1) eCVT - it is everything, but quiet…:-) 2) EV range is indeed at c. 70km in good conditions 3) what is bad is the fuel tank. The car has a 54L fuel tank, but i NEVER managed to fill it up more than 35L!!! I ran the HV range to zero (EV was also zero) and i drove an extra 40km. This was when i could fill up the tank with 35L. Shocking… i am surprised you did not point this out….4) fuel consumption, once the EV reserve is depleted, is c. 9L/100km, not impressive.. otherwise it is a good car for a family of four.
I experienced the same with the fuel capacity in the Lexus NX, I mentioned that in that video. I asked Lexus about that, and the fuel tank capacity is exactly what is says in the technical specifications, but the fault is in the fuel metering system. The fuel gauge in the dashboard calculates the remaining fuel in the tank based on the fuel consumption. With the NX I could hardly get 30 liters in when the fuel gauge was on empty. Lexus says this is a known issue and it will be resolved with a software update. The RX I tested did not have this issue, when the fuel gauge was at the 1/4 tank mark, I filled it up with 42 liters of fuel. Regarding your other remarks: I am a very calm driver so I usually have no issues with engine noise and fuel consumption. Thanks so much for watching!
Actually Arnold, I have a 2020 highlander hybrid as well. Guess what! It has exactly the same issue with the actual usability of the fuel tank. It appears there might also be an element that Toyota/Lexus want to err on the very conservative side with regard to fuel reserve. Apparently, if a hybrid car runs out of gas it can cause some pretty major problem in their hybrid system... Fair enough, but then they should not advertise these cars with 25%-35% longer milage figures...:-) @@Carnold_YT
Indeed, Lexus is very conservative. Once the HV range is down to 0, you can fill max 40L of petrol, which means you still have around 15L in the tank - so you can do at least another 150 km! It is just shocking, they should fix this. It is annoying during long trips on motorway, where the car asks you to fill up every 350-400km.
