RX 450h = 3.5 Liter V-6 plus two electric motors. The 450h has more hp & torque than the 350 & it’s faster 0-60 mph.

**CORRECTION**
The 450h is NOT faster than the 350. The 450h has more HP than the 350 due to two electric motors, but it loses that advantage because it weighs more. I couldn’t make heads or tails of the Consumer Reports posting, but found some accurate stats in Car & Driver: https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews...wd-test-review

“At the track, the two models’ test numbers were close. The hybrid’s powertrain musters a total of 308 horsepower, against 295 for the RX350, but those extra ponies appear to be negated by the all-wheel-drive RX450h’s additional 340 pounds. The RX450h gets to 60 mph in 7.1 seconds, 0.2 second behind the RX350, and the hybrid is fractionally (0.1 second and 2 mph) behind it in the quarter-mile, as well. Braking from 70 mph takes 178 feet, four feet longer than the RX350.”

 

Yes. I heard that it has an electric motor up front and one that drives the rear. I just wasn't sure how they get the extra 100 in the number unless it has something to do with the electric motor rating.

 

Mine came in a few days. Looks good but pretty curled up from shipping.

 

Lay it out flat in the sun for several hours & the curls will go away.

 

Yeah mine was the same way. I layed it out in the sun for a little bit and it was fine.

 

It was delivered via fedex yesterday. No extra charges; shipping was 59.94(CAD) to NW oregon. I like it so far! Looks nicer than the weathertech mat that I did have. Definitely needs a bit of time to flatten out tho!

 

Got mine yesterday. I like how it covers the back seats, but the fit of the Canadian cargo liner is not as good as the US cargo mat. The Canadian cargo liner is more plastic and less rubbery compared to the US cargo mat. The US cargo mat fits better. I find the Canadian cargo liner to be a little smaller and slides around the cargo area. The Canadian cargo liner has about 1/2 inch gap on the sides of the cargo area. The US cargo mat stays in place and covers wall to wall and does not slide. It is also heavier.

I might cut off the back seat portion of the Canadian cargo liner and put the US cargo mat in the cargo area, sort of combining the two.

 

Something is wrong. Either you have a defective mat, or they sent you the wrong mat. Mine fits tight, doesn’t slide at all, has Velcro fasteners & NOTHING slides around on it. Sometimes, it’s so grippy that it makes sliding cargo in & out takes two people. We love it!

 

I never had the OEM all-weather mat, so I can’t compare, but I don’t have any sliding issues with my liner. It fits better than the weather tech mat. I love the way it fits over the back of the seats! I’m surprised this isn’t available in the US, at least in the cold and wet parts of the country.

 

The nice part of the Canadian liner is that it has the accordion portion to allow the seats to move all the way forward and still cover the back of the seats and the trunk

 

The mat is the same as shown in the pictures here and the Lexus Canada website. It has velcro fasteners for the back of the seats and they are very grippy. In fact, the first time, I placed it without the round velcro pads since they grip so well. But then placed the round velcro pads on the back of the seats, in case I wanted to remove the liner for cleaning and put it back on. The back of the seats fits very well, but the main trunk area is a little larger.

I do like the accordion between the back of the seats and the liner bottom. I pushed the accordion portion down in the gap between the seats and the trunk space. That seems to hold that accordion so it does not pop out into the trunk area. It would also help avoiding collecting trash and debris in that gap and the hassle of cleaning that space.

I am going to give the liner a few more days, maybe it needs more time to flatten. With the cold days here, it probably has not helped the plastic. I do find that the US cargo mat prevents things from rolling around in the trunk area and is more grippy than the Canadian cargo liner.

 

Sorry to have to bump this thread. What makes Canadian OEM cargo liner better than what, say, WeatherTech makes?
And what's the issue with US OEM liner?
Thanks in advance!

 

See posts #7, 25 & 48. The Canadian mat goes all the way up the rear seat backs vs. the American version that does not. It’s a sticky type of rubber where things don’t slide. I have no idea about Weathertech.

 

The link doesn't work anymore, does anyone know if this can still be purchased and shipped to the US?

 

As far as I am aware, the mat is made in Canada & shipping would cost more than the cost of the mat. I just happened to travel to Canada & brought it (wrapped in cardboard) back as checked baggage.
