Although it has a few rivals now, the 2011 lexus rx 450h remains a top pick. Compared to its conventional rx 350 stablemate, the rx 450h uses a similar 3. 5-liter v6 engine but also adds two electric motors (three for the all-wheel-drive model). This hybrid powertrain produces a total of 20 horsepower more than the conventional rx 350's v6 while also delivering fuel economy that's approximately 40 percent better. The 2011 lexus rx 450h is a five-passenger midsize luxury suv available in front- or all-wheel-drive versions. Options are bundled in a number of packages. The premium package adds leather seating, a sunroof, a power tailgate, driver seat memory, a rear-seat armrest and an ipod interface. Additional option bundles require the premium package. The comfort package tacks on adaptive xenon headlights with automatic high-beams, rain-sensing wipers, heated/ventilated front seats and an upgraded 12-speaker audio system. Upscale appointments, exceptional cabin materials and cutting-edge tech features make the 2011 lexus rx 450h look and feel much more expensive than its entry-level status would suggest. Authentic wood trim and high-quality leather lend an air of opulence, and the optional mark levinson audio is one of the best sound systems on the market. Another noteworthy option, the remote touch interface, replaces the traditional touchscreen operation with a mouselike controller on the center console. The controller features haptic feedback when rolling over on-screen controls, allowing the user to ‘feel‘ the buttons. We found this system to be immediately intuitive and easier to use than other competing interfaces. Rear passengers will find the seating roomy and comfortable thanks to reclining and sliding adjustments. Luggage and cargo space are accommodating as well, allowing up to 40 cubic feet behind the 40/20/40-split-folding rear seats and 80 cubes with them stowed. The 2011 lexus rx 450h doesn't disappoint when it comes to a smooth ride. The compliant suspension and plentiful sound insulation ably isolate passengers from the outside world. The hybrid powertrain is also pretty silent, though at full throttle the v6 does make a surprising amount of noise. The softly sprung suspension never feels uncontrolled and makes for a very fun driving experience.
