Ei Ben, I was wondering when you drove it, at what speed did it engaged to ICE? I have a regular hybrid and it engages to ICE at 40 kph (Canadian) or 25 mph (US). I am on the fence right now to upgrade to the Lexus NX 450h+
The RAV4 prime XLE has more range, is more efficient and costs at least $10,000 less. The NX is even harder to find than the Prime. The styling and colors are nicer on the NX but I’d take the controls on the steering wheel and console on the prime. It’s the same drive train.
The Rav4 Prime doesn't have full eletronic seats on passanger front which is insane and the range on the NX450H+ is 45 miles electric even 47. I own one and can show images that multiple times it gets 40+ range.
@@bryanloki6560 Well the Prime has more EPA range, but from what you say sound like the NX is the same as the prime. The Prime XSE has 4 way power on the passenger seat, but only with a package it seems. Is that what you mean by not having full power? Pretty unimpressive for sure. But the NX costs so much more I’d still see the Prime as the better deal. I just wish the Prime came in some nice colors.
They can't give them away in the UK. Crazy low lease deals and 10k off if buying outright. Weird you have to wait ages I'm Canada when they can't seem to give these away
This should have the RED interior... HUGE missed opportunity to get the black interior, when the Red interior is available with that Blue paint. In fact, whoever ordered this with the black interior should be fired! ... for incompetence... I would even say it's IMMORAL to get the black interior.

Insane Lexus Ben !! ❤❤
Lexus always top
Fantastic Lexus built car
If you already have a 350h would it be worth it to upgrade???
Great review! Is it really PRIUS prime ??
Hey Ben, how is the build quality of this or comparable Lexus vehicles against Audi, BMW, and Mercedes?
It feels solid and pretty comparable
Ei Ben, I was wondering when you drove it, at what speed did it engaged to ICE? I have a regular hybrid and it engages to ICE at 40 kph (Canadian) or 25 mph (US). I am on the fence right now to upgrade to the Lexus NX 450h+
Canadian NX owner here. It will operate fully electric at all speeds for the first 60 km or so.
@ Cool! Thank you for the comment, I just paid a reservation fee and I might have to wait 6-8 months for the F-Sport, hopefully it will be earlier.
Reminds my of my Venza, in so many ways!
