What are people’s experience with the 450h in the snow?

No, I don't play soccer!
There's a thread in the hybrid forum - Lexus 450h in the snow. Let's keep this thread specific to the 350.

ES is FWD but that model is getting long in the tooth if you know what I mean. Way overdue for a refresh.

We just had to test the 2016 RX F-Sport in 12-15 inches of unplowed snow over a stretch of 100 km (60 miles) of highway and side roads. Most of the time the snow was deep enough that the lower bumper was touching the snow. This is by far the best car I have driven in deep snow/slush. The car kept going through varying slush levels and you barely felt that the advance Stability control (VDIM) was keeping it pointed to where the steering was asking it to go.
I was very impressed. The AWD in the Venza has been great over the past few winters, but that combined with the predictive Stability in the RX is even better.

Let me tell you how much I was impressed the last two days of snow storm we had and locking in AWD how much handling I had from it! It was bitting the road!
My winter tires are Bridgestone DM-V2 18 inches inner radius.

From here in the U.K., I've been very pleased with the gen4 RX in snow with my winter tyres fitted Yokohama.
we have only had snow a couple of times in the last month but the car has been faultless.

I have the Premiers and really only one experience so far in meaningful snow but no issues at all.
