The Lexus RX 450h+ PHEV is a prestigious, comfortable and opulent thing.
It has good EV range (tested in this review), great hybrid fuel efficiency, and makes you feel good, too.
But there are some questions - why is it so expensive to service? And why would you spend this much, when you can literally pay half the price for a similarly sized PHEV from China with LOADS of equipment?

I am aiming to review every new car on the market that people actually buy, to help new-car customers like you, or curious car enthusiasts (maybe also like you) get the right steer when it comes to choosing a new set of wheels.
If you're looking for a car for yourself, monitoring the market and hunting for the latest info, or even if you've just bought your new car and you're looking to see what experts like me think about it, The Right Car will offer you something of value.
