2016 Lexus RX 450H in Canada - Canadian Prices, Trims, Specs, Photos, Recalls

Buyer’s Guide

The mid-size luxury crossover that started it all is all new for 2016. Lexus has redesigned the RX and that includes the RX 450H hybrid. The interior is awash with leather and soft-touch upholstered surfaces, and the A-pillars have been made thinner for better visibility and a brighter interior. Both of these make for a much nicer place to be over the old one. Not that the old one wasn't a class leader. It doesn't have the third row of an Acura MDX, or the sporting intentions of the BMW X5 or Porsche Macan, but none of them can offer the 7.7 L/100 km city, 8.2 highway rated fuel economy of the RX, which can make it an excellent value.

The RX 450h gets a 3.5L V6 that makes 259 hp and the front axle has a 165 hp electric motor. Providing the all-wheel drive is a 67 hp electric motor on the rear axle. The total is 308 hp and a massive amount of torque. The transmission is a CVT. The RX comes standard with power tilt and telescoping heated steering wheel, and dual-zone climate. There is a 12-speaker stereo with bluetooth, USB, and satellite radio. The seats are perforated leather with 10-way power adjustment, heat (front and rear), and ventilation for the front seats. There is a back-up camera, 4.2-inch driver info display, and a 12.3-inch infotainment system with navigation. The headlights and taillights are LED, and there are 20-inch wheels.

An optional FSPORT package gets a 15-speaker Mark Levinson audio system, a touch free power tailgate, drive mode select, special grille, badge, and trim, glass roof, and head-up display. There is also collision warning, radar cruise, paddle shifters, upgraded leather seats, and side-view monitors. There is an Executive plus pack with Mark Levinson sound, wireless headphones, rear seat entertainment screens, power tailgate, panoramic roof, collision warning, radar cruise, paddle shifters, upgraded leather seats, side-view monitors, and power folding rear seats.

Units Affected:

4,571

Notification Type:

Safety Mfr

On certain vehicles, the airbag system pressure sensors and/or acceleration sensors used to detect vehicle impact may contain manufacturing defects. As a result, the airbag warning light may illuminate and the side/curtain shield airbags and/or front airbags may not deploy, increasing the risk of injury in the event of a crash. Correction: Dealers will inspect and replace the defective sensors as necessary. Note: This will not affect the front airbags of the Prius model.

Notification Type:

Safety TC

On certain vehicles, the electrical power cords of some dealer installed block heaters may have been improperly manufactured, causing the wires to contact each other, resulting in a short circuit. A short circuit could lead to a fire which would increase the risk of injury and/or damage to property. Correction: For vehicles where the subject block heater was approved for installation, the dealer will replace the block heater assembly with a new one of an improved design. For vehicles where the subject block heater was not approved for installation, dealers will remove the block heater assembly. In the interim, until the remedy can be performed, dealers will cut the plug end from the block heater cord to disable the block heater's operation.

Notification Type:

Inconsequential

Certain vehicles may not comply with Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 302 - Flammability. Some of the materials used in the construction of the seat upholstery may not meet the requirements of the standard when tested individually. The seat does meet the requirements of the standard when tested as an assembly. Correction: A production change has been undertaken to remedy this non-compliance condition. No corrective recall action is required as the non-compliance condition is deemed to be non-safety related.

Units Affected:

Notification Type:

Safety Mfr

On certain vehicles, the driver’s knee airbag inflator may have been assembled with an improperly located weld seam. If this condition is present, the weld could be insufficient or be damaged during the clinching process after the inflator was filled with gas, which could cause the stored gas to leak. Leakage of the stored gas could affect the performance of the knee airbag. Failure of the airbag to fully deploy during a crash (where deployment is warranted) could increase the risk of personal injury to the seat occupant. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the knee airbag assembly.
