3 Ways to Fit Your Family Into the 2020 Lexus RX 450hL AWD

Now sporting an update for the current model year, this pioneering luxury crossover offers new features inside and out including elevated styling, improved diving dynamics, and more standard safety features than before. From its redesigned front fascia and distinctive L-motif signature grille to its structured new wheel design and redesigned taillights, the three-row Lexus RX 450hL is currently available in nine vibrant paint schemes including two new exterior colors of Nori Green Pearl and Moonbeam Beige Metallic.

So which vehicle configuration is right for you? Well, that depends. How many members are in your family?

The RX 450hL is ideal for commuting to work, cruising the open highway, or painting the town on date night. So feel free to put the pedal to the metal and have some fun. The hybrid drive system pairs a D4-S fuel injection 3.5-liter V6 engine with two high-torque electric drive motor-generators creating a combined output of 308 horsepower which manages 0-60 mph in 8.1 seconds as well as a top track speed of 112 mph. Paddle shifters come standard across the lineup, a stiffer suspension design reduces road noise and vibration, and improved steering response allows for a pleasantly-smoother ride. NuLuxe seating material comes standard in the cabin of the RX 450hL along with clever in-door storage compartments that extend outward for ease of access, but an appealing optional premium package includes matte bamboo or open-pore brown walnut interior trim, Lexus memory system, and a power moonroof. Want even more VIP-level treatment? The upper-level luxury package further delivers ambient lighting, a perforated semi-aniline leather-trimmed interior, handcrafted gray sapele wood with aluminum interior trim, heated wood/leather-trimmed steering wheel, and more.

The new 2020 Lexus RX improves our best-selling vehicle with a focus on the future of the brand ? one of sophisticated, yet bold, design. We heard very positive feedback from our U.S. guests about their experience in the RX, and we worked to improve upon the success with key areas of focus.

When you need room for occasional adult guests or a couple of kiddos, the RX 450hL has plenty of room on the second row to stretch out in comfort and style in the standard captain's chairs with additional pop-out cup holders. Optionally, heated/cooled seats along with two adjustable window shades make the vent-serviced zone conveniently comfortable. Double speakers in each second-row door panel offer a showcased listening experience for the optional 15-speaker Mark Levinson premium surround sound audio system which comes as an exclusive part of the navigation system package. The refreshed RX delivers Apple CarPlay compatibility and Android Auto functionality along with a new user-friendly integration featuring voice and navigation via the available 12.3-inch high-resolution, split-screen multimedia display. With the second and third rows folded down, storage space is at a premium with over 34 cubic feet of cargo area available; and when the second row is in use, slightly more than 23 cubic feet of space is still available. Even if all three rows are positioned up for seating passengers, at least seven cubic feet of back-end compartment area is still available for transporting groceries, equipment, and other personal items.

The best-selling Lexus RX continues to be a focus for the brand's innovation and a lasting favorite of our guests. The new 2020 model builds on the guest satisfaction and refinement this groundbreaking luxury crossover has carried since its introduction more than 20 years ago.

Gain access to the third row with a simple tilt and slide of the second-row chair, and reposition the power-folding/reclining third-row seats to an upright or lowered position with a mere push of efficiently-placed buttons. Side-chair trays include cup holders and areas for placing personal items, while dedicated climate controls and air vents work to maintain a more consistent temperature and air flow throughout the vehicle. The most comprehensive safety system ever included in a Lexus helps keep your family safer with class-leading equipment like a pre-collision system with low-light pedestrian detection and daytime bicyclist detection, lane tracing assist, lane departure alert, dynamic cruise control, intelligent high beams, and a built-in camera that helps provide road sign information. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has deemed 2020 Lexus RX a top safety pick when the vehicle is equipped with premium triple-beam LED headlamps.

After introducing the world's first luxury hybrid vehicle more than a decade ago, Lexus now presents this range of interior and exterior enhancements which build on the iconic luxury crossover's popularity and appeal. Starting at an MSRP of $50,510, the 2020 Lexus RX 450hL AWD achieves a 29 mpg combined fuel economy rating and boasts a number of fabrics and finishes as well as a selection of optional upgrade packages for a distinctively-personalized experience designed specifically for the ever-changing needs of growing families.
