Interestingly, the 450h model will arrive at a lower price. One of the main complains is it’s higher price so Lexus decided to lower the price. Now, some of the standard features are optional. You can fit up to five passengers over the two rows of seats.The exterior design of the 2020 Lexus RX 450h looks extremely modern and if you want even sportier character, F Sport Package is a must-have.
