Lexus RX 400 h. As a ULEZ basher ?

[Moonflower]

The reliability and general comfort will be liked . But in central london . What are the real time MPG like and also 300 mile motorway runs . Not going to thrash on long runs . Max ever would be 80 mph

Thank you

What's your budget? Does it have to be an SUV?

Something that could carry tools etc. . Or be a good bike carrier etc for a weekend away etc

And there is a “Lexus itch “ I fancy scratching !!!

I had one, got about 30mpg. Quiet and comfortable, but I hated the CVT box and the torque steer wasn't at all pleasant.

X5 4.8iS is ULEZ compliant:

Had one for a couple of years.
Get about 28mpg around London.
Good turn of speed but as mentioned lots of torque steer, but keeps me on my toes so I don’t mind.
Ultra reliable and extremely comfortable.
Not a real 4x4.
Absolutely recommend.

Is it small expensive tools? Sometimes a saloon boot can be better for security, especially if the rear seats don't fold and its got a steel divider. Is a bike rack a possibly?

[Moonflower]

I want to keep anything “inside “ the car . No way am I leaving valuable bikes on a rack !

The size suits me . The whole Lexus “peace and quiet “ type of driving would suit me . Time to kick back in life and not worry about speed or cornering G forces !


But the MPG is not Looking that good !

Any other ideas please .
