Pros Excellent fuel economy Roomy, comfortable seats
Cons Frustrating infotainment system Subpar cargo capacity
The 2018 Lexus RX 450h is less expensive than last year, but some features that were standard are now optional. These include the sunroof, roof rails, heated and ventilated front seats, driver-seat memory settings, navigation system and blind-spot monitoring. The new Premium package adds some of these features back in, while others are sold as stand-alone options.
PROS Impeccably crafted and attractively designed cabin Excellent fuel economy for a luxury crossover Supremely quiet Appealing ride and handling balance with F Sport package
CONS Relatively slow acceleration Below-average cargo capacity Optional tech interface is distracting to use
RX 450hL hybrids have a lower-output V-6, batteries, and motors that power the rear wheels for a through-the-road, all-wheel-drive powertrain. The continuously variable transmission saps the life out of its delivery, but it’s smooth.
Pros Bracing design Swift acceleration Broad range of road manners Hybrid's high gas mileage High-tech safety standard
Cons That polarizing sheet metal Gets expensive in a hurry Firm F Sport ride Gas-only mileage just average
The Peugeot 3008 is a fun-looking SUV with a big boot, stylish interior and decent levels of equipment, but it takes a while to get used to the quirky small steering wheel and high-up instrument cluster
Pros Stylish inside and out Big boot Efficient engines
Cons No four-wheel-drive option Entry-level diesel is slow Oddly positioned instruments
The 3008 would have to be the best Peugeot I’ve driven apart from the 308 and I was rather forlorn to hand back the keys.
Pros Bold, attractive styling HUD instrument panel/advanced graphics Comfortable, luxury interior Tech features Dynamic handling Large panoramic roof Powered tailgate
Cons Flat topped steering wheel No powered seats
