Which RX 450h trim does Edmunds recommend?

Unless you can't live without the sportier look and feel of the F Sport trim, we recommend the base RX 450h. It offers more variety in terms of wheel, paint and interior colors. Plus, you can upgrade this model with several option packages and individual extras to make it your own.
