It will be about the same as the previous gen. About $4K over the price of the 350.

 

Was this officially announced by Lexus today or is this what you are hearing through rumors? In any case, this is what I was thinking as well. Our RX450h should be here by late June.

 

I work for Lexus.

Take that as you will.

 

450 model is supposed to come with the full-load packages or not really. Or you meant $4k over the base model MSRP? $4k+$38K=$42K. If so, maybe I should wait.

Thanks.

 

It will cost about $4K more than a comparably-equipped 350.

 

Hi kalvano, got any detail yet? about what's included.

 

The price sounds right and reasonable. Very attractive.

Btw, do you know when Lexus is going to launch the 450 model? Very appreciated.

 

May 5th? according to a message board.

 

Very good timing to me... Thanks.

 

They should be available at dealerships end of May / early June, and I would think they will build them pretty much the same as they previously did, with the only real option being AWD or FWD.

 

We were told late June or early July up here.

 

don't know how much it will cost in USA, but for example in Europe in Lithuania, new RX350 fully loaded cost 23% more than old one! Don't believe, that RX450h price will rise less then that percentage..

old fully loaded - 58.000 Euro
new fully loaded - 71.300 Euro

 

My dealer has informed me on more than one occasion that the first RX450h's will be built in May and arrive at the dealerships between late May and June. Since mine is a special order with all the options except for the rear seat entertainment package, I don't think it will be here until late June.

 

It seems to me that it won't be here in a month or 2, no matter which car I special-order. 350 or 450.

Thanks for your information.

 

How much of that shift is due to the change in the value of the Euro over the past 6 months?
