Kazuo Shimizu checks Lexus RX450HL!What kind of three -row seats are good, what are the issues for large SUVs?

■ Stubborn Oyaji Kazuo Shimizu will say a word to the luxury large SUV Japanese national team "Lexus RX450HL"!

Even if it is not a new model, Kazuo Shimizu, an international motor journalist Kazuo Shimizu, strictly checks the car you care about.

This time, we will check the "Lexus RX450HL", which was changed in August 2019 ( * This video was tested in March 2020).

In addition to changing the appearance of headlights and changing the appearance of L -shaped motif spindlgrills, it has been enhanced to the touch display of navigation and the expansion of USB socket for charging, and the suspension setting has been reviewed.RX450HL.

With the high quality ride as it is, the renewal RX, which has achieved high maneuvering stability and a linear steering feel, is performed on a long drive mainly for driving on the snow!Let's take a look at the video first.

Now, Lexus RX450HL.I ran about 700km.

This car is a hybrid, but it is a V6 engine hybrid, so there is power and torque of the engine itself.

Recently, a TNGA called the new K platform appeared, and the first car appeared in 2019.I got 2019-2020 Japan Car of the Year.

However, a few years before the Lexus RX appeared, unlike conventional SUVs, there was no place to wobble the engine, and the feeling of very tight handling was impressive.Until then, how do Toyota put the engine for NVH (Noise, Vibration, Harshnes, noise, vibration, Hershenes [discomfort])?The engine mount system was just on the bowl.However, in fact, the fact that the engine rotated and placing the mount axis at the center point of the engine was necessary for reducing the NVH or the dynamic handling performance.

The model that has taken the measure is this car.This RX is the improved version of the very advanced platform that became the base of TNGA.

In that sense, Lexus also has a driving performance that matches Corti.I felt that the area was running on the highway all the time.

However, in fuel efficiency, RAV4 is 2 for RX V6 engine..Since it is a 4 -cylinder gasoline engine called 5L high -speed combustion, there is a difference of about 12 km/L and 15-16 km/L in fuel efficiency.

The crude riding comfort is noticeable when entering a slightly rough road surface called a bubble under the spring, so you can still feel the little steering and weak.I think the next RX will be perfectly fixed.

Nevertheless, the most practical RX among luxury brand Lexus.

This time, I brought a car with a three -row seat, but there are two seats and 3 seats (bench seats) in the second row in the middle of the third row, so there are two types of three -row seats ... easy to understand.It means 6 -seater and 7 -seater.Including a normal two -row seat 5 -seater, you can choose a seat arrangement for 5 people, 6 and seven -seater.

Mazda also has a three -row seat, so for families with more than five -seater, three -row seats may be attractive.However, since the car will inevitably grow, if you ride a car with a three -row seat alone, you will just carry the air.

How do you make the cabin in three rows on Rumy without making the overall length bigger?I feel that it is one of the best things to have a large SUV in the future.

Nevertheless, the texture of the interior, it is made firmly with a lexusk orthility.

This Lexus is wearing Michelin studless tires.I also have a big SUV (defender), but a car with a large vehicle weight is more likely to have a tire block rigidity in Michelin studless.

Japanese studless tires are made exclusively for Iceburns in Hokkaido, so high -speed driving on paved roads is not enough and wear is fast.

In that sense, I really want to recommend Michelin for Lexus -class premium SUVs.There is no such studless in Japan.Michelin studless is easy to use when looking at all rounds, as it tends to chase only the performance of ice burns.
