Lexus RX 450H and Air Suspension
The Lexus RX 450H does have the option for air suspension. The top-spec SE-L Premier model comes with air suspension, while the entry-level SE models use ordinary coil springs . The air suspension in the RX 450H allows the driver to control the vehicle’s height to adjust driving conditions. However, it’s worth noting that the air suspension system in the RX 450H can introduce additional components and potential points of failure, such as shocks, struts, air suspension switches, ride height actuators, and ride height sensor arms.

The use of airbags above your wheels, rather than springs, also improves the quality of the journey for passengers. Another advantage of air suspension is less wear and tear on the suspension system and vehicle components, due to reduced harshness and vibration, particularly with heavy-duty driving.
You must only use unleaded gasoline in the RX, with an octane rating of 87 or higher. This means the Lexus RX does not require premium gasoline, as the premium octane rating is 91 or higher. Of course, you are free to put premium gas in your Lexus RX, as it can provide better performance, but it is not needed.
