This video was first publish on Pickup Truck Plus SUV Talk

In this review, Tim Esterdahl from Pickup Truck Plus SUV Talk breaks down the plug-in hybrid powertrain, 35 miles of EV range, interior technology, ride quality, cargo space and why the RX may actually be the smarter luxury SUV buy.

Is the Lexus RX 450h better to live with than a BMW X5 or Mercedes-Benz GLE?
