Is 2021 your year to make the step to a hybrid? The Lexus RX450h Luxury makes it a comfortable and easy journey, albeit a rather unexciting one.

Pros
The best looking Lexus (aside from LC500) - modern and stylish inside and out
Effortless hybrid drivetrain
Plenty of kit
Quiet and comfortable in every environment

Cons
Thirsty V6 offset by hybrid, but not as much as you'd like
CVT dulls the driving experience
Getting pretty spendy for a car that starts in the $70k range
1990s rear-view camera needs to go

By: 
caradvice.com.au

Pros
Speedy acceleration, handling that can increase your pulse rate
Improved interior design with impressive build quality
Roomy and comfortable seats
Accurate and smooth driver assist tech

Cons
New infotainment system not as intuitive as expected
Touch-sensing steering wheel controls cause frustration
Still not quite up to par with other performance-tuned SUVs

By: 
edmunds.com

Pros
Calm styling
Cohesive interior
Three hybrid options
Fresh in-car tech

Cons
Confusing trim lineup
Awkward CVT in 350h
Handles like a large vehicle
500h tops $62,000
