2018 RX450H Premier - POWER MODES

[dgw1]

It has taken some time to get my head around the “Normal / Customisation instructions in the Manual and on the car itself.   Now I understand there are 4 settings :

eco, normal,  s  and   s+

with the opportunity to set a 5th Customisation setting.   The Normal setting has no display which is confusing but there you are.  Perhaps that is normal to the Japanese mind.

Anyhow, I have set Customisation ( the 5th option ) as:   Power Train to Power  and  Chassis to Sport.   And that works as it should when the button is pushed in.

My question is :  is this just a duplication of the S+ mode or in what ways does it differ.  I can discern no significant difference whilst driving in both S+ and My Custom modes.

Also, Is it correct that the speed on this car is limited to 160kph or does that only apply to the USA market ?   If it is limited, why so ?

Many thanks !

In those settings it's same of sport+

Speed is limited because of eCVT , and actually max speed is a bit higher.

Doesn’t S+ mode also tighten the steering to increase feel?

Top speed is quoted at 200kph (124mph), I believe this is limited although there are YT videos showing cars at slightly faster speeds.
