I shall be looking forward to that Luigi! 😉

Thought I would finally post some more pictures of my RX450h, from a recent touring trip around Cornwall. Fantastic journey there and back, very comfortable on the motorway. The radar guided cruise control was a boon on the long motorway and A-road stretches as well. Overall economy took a hit on the shorter journeys down there (4 adults and 1 toddler plus luggage and numerous hills brought it down to about 26 MPG on occasion), but the cruise back home was just shy of 39 MPG, which I was very impressed with (those long sections of 50 MPH roadworks on the M6 helped there) 😀

I recently bought a pre-reg 2019 RX450h and got a 250-odd page paper User Guide, plus a service and warranty book with the car. As has been mentioned above the main owner's manual and infotainment manuals are available online.

Love the colour, looks great in the Sun ☀️

Congrats on the new car 😀

Hi Maurice, and welcome to the club. I found the relevant area in the CT handbook, is this any help?

Hi Bartek, welcome to the club! 🤝

No more splash and dash, so to speak 😉

Hi Alan, welcome back to the club 😀 You've certainly had a varied list of cars 👍

Hi Les, I just tried this on the https://www.lexus-mapupdates.eu site and the button does pop up for me. Does your web browser block anything that might prevent the button from displaying?

I got the 2019 spec because I bought a pre-registered (September 2019) RX450h in the middle of December. Although not new, it only had delivery miles on it and am very happy with my purchase so far 😀

Silver for me (specifically Sonic Titanium), but I'm biased as I have one 😉 There was also gold and brown and now a shade of green available on the latest facelift 450h.

3. Transition electric to petrol

My previous car was a CT200h and felt that the transition from full electric to petrol was much smoother. Probably this will be better when the car has some more miles on the clock.  

I am getting around 33mpg at the moment on regular fuel (50% highway - 50% city), which I honestly think is not that bad for such a heavy car. 

  

I've been fortunate to purchase a 2019 RX 450h recently, and have found the transition from electric to petrol and back again very smooth and I'm hardly aware it is happening (only 450 miles on the clock so far). The system is much smoother than the stop/start system on my previous car. Do you find this more noticeable when the engine is cold?

I like this site too, contains some very useful information. Members may already be aware of another, https://www.carfolio.com/, that also contains a wide variety of specifications of many different makes and models.

Happy New Year everyone, and all the very best for 2020. 🎉

Thanks for the welcome everyone 😊 Thanks Les, I love the interior - I had a similar ivory interior in my XF and although a little more difficult to keep clean, I prefer it to black. I'll take a look at that video too, any help would be useful (this is my first hybrid).

I'll be 40 next year so bringing the average up, at least according to this poll 😉

I bought something similar on amazon (albeit a little more expensive at £7.99 for a pair). Works well for my new car and a worthwhile investment in my opinion.

Via a Google search for a UK based forum.

Hi all,

I purchased my first Lexus a couple of weeks ago, a pre-facelift 2019 RX 450h with Premium Pack (and Protection Pack) in Sonic Titanium with Ivory and Noble Brown interior. I'm very pleased with it so far 😀 I had a 2014 Jaguar XF 3.0d S Portfolio previously which was a great car, but the RX is even better in my opinion. Getting about 33-34 MPG so far, and loving the some of the features the Jag didn't have like the heated steering wheel, electric tailgate and auto-hold function. 😊

Cheers,

Mike
