We got 27 mpg overall with the four-cylinder.
#HYBRID CROSSOVER 2015 MANUAL#
The TLX has a quiet cabin, came nicely equipped, and was available with a manual gearbox in V6 models. Its quick steering contributes to its agility, and we got a class-leading 32 mpg overall from the 2017 model that we tested. The 6 is one of the sportiest midsized sedans. But the ride is stiff and the cabin gets loud. The RAV4 is roomy and versatile, has nimble handling, and gets a good 24 mpg in the AWD version. Look for a version with the 2.5-liter engine, which gets 25 mpg.
Mazda’s small SUV has taut, agile handling and well-weighted steering, although the ride is choppy and the cabin gets loud. SUV, the Venza has a quiet interior, a roomy rear seat, and a generous cargo area. The MKZ’s ride and handling rivals European sports sedans, while the hybrid version got 34 mpg overall in our tests. The Camry Hybrid delivered an impressive 38 mpg overall in our tests, and has a quiet interior and comfortable ride. The Accord is a roomy and comfortable sedan that got 30 mpg overall in our tests with the four-cylinder engine the V6 got 26.

If you’re not a member, click below to join and access this full list of cars, pickup trucks, SUVs, and wagons. If you’re a Consumer Reports member, the results below are available to you. All of them come standard with electronic stability control (ESC), a key safety feature, and many of the models were available with safety features such as forward collision warning (FCW), automatic emergency braking (AEB), and/or blind spot warning (BSW). Make sure to have the car you’re considering thoroughly inspected by a certified mechanic before you sign on the dotted line. Even among the used cars we recommend, there can be stinkers because of a bad day at the factory or a neglectful owner who didn’t keep up with the required maintenance. The CVT makes no struggle in these conditions and the RX felt sure-footed, even on washboard roads.The vehicles listed below performed well in CR’s road tests when they were new and had consistent above-average reliability for multiple years, according to our surveys of CR members. Like most luxury crossovers, the RX 450h is not built for heavy offroad use, but it proved capable enough to traverse unpaved roads and the hard-packed sand of the beach at a Nebraska lake. During our time at the beach, the 2015 RX 450h proved a good tailgate vehicle. The flat loading area and wide opening make for good ergonomics. In the cargo space, tie-downs and “milk jug” trays are built-in and prove to be useful. The only missing point in the RX 450h is a third row option. They also fold in a 40/20/40 configuration to double cargo space from an already-ample 40 cubic feet in the rear. Amazingly, the rear seats are also very adjustable, giving a high amount of comfort for passengers in the second row.
#HYBRID CROSSOVER 2015 DRIVER#
Driver and passenger position memory is a nice bonus. Authentic wood, high-quality leather, and a beautiful Mark Levinson sound system (optional) adorn the cabin.įront seat adjustment is good with enough range to make the shortest or tallest comfortable. Exceptional build quality is apparent throughout and few will find fault with the choice of materials and workmanship here.
The interior of the RX 450h is beautifully upscale. At no time does the driver feel the engine shut off, however, alleviating the knee-jerk response of a “stalled” engine that might come with some hybrid offerings. As a hybrid, the RX 450h often becomes completely silent in the parking lot, switching to EV mode at low speeds. In town, the steering is a bit heavy, but maneuverability is very good in this luxury crossover. Acceleration feels slower than the RX 350 F-Sport, but not overly so and the ride is comfortable and well-mannered. The driver generally has no indication, outside of dashboard lights, of whether the crossover is in hybrid, electric-only, or other modes. Out on the road, the 2015 RX 450h has a compliant, comfortable suspension and near-zero road noise. This puts out a total of 295 horsepower, which is more than enough to make the 2015 Lexus RX 450h feel sporty and responsive. In the AWD option, there are three, one still acting as a starter-generator and the other two driving the front and rear axles separately. In the 2WD version, there are two motors, one acting as a starter-generator. In the Lexus, a 3.5-liter V6 combines with a continuously variable transmission (CVT) and electric motors to provide propulsion. This fuel economy is thanks in no small part to Toyota’s long experience with hybrid powertrains.
