Talking Cars 396: Driving the Lexus RX350h Hybrid
Plus, should a dealership check to see if my car needs software updates?
Main theme: The Lexus RX has always been a crowd-pleasing luxury SUV, and it seems like the updated model shines brightest as a hybrid. We talk about our experiences with the redesigned cushy SUV, explain why today’s hybrids are miles ahead of their predecessors, and debate some of Lexus’ interior choices. (See our Lexus RX first drive review.)
Audience question: With so much software in cars these days, can I ask a dealership to check if my car needs any updates? How do software updates work? Can I do them myself?
