Hi everyone. Just tried to test drive a 2011 RX 450h, which I absolutely loved in every respect, except - I don't fit. Too tall. I'm 6ft 6 inches and obviously enough of that is between the seat and the roof to make the roof too low. My question is this: the car had a panoramic roof. I have read that going for a 450h without a panoramic roof improves the headroom in the back. But does it improve it in the front? I only need max one more inch...
Any thoughts gratefully received.

 

Any sunroof is going to lower the head room. It will be hard to find a 450h without a sunroof.

 

Thanks Marqevans. I was just wondering because I have found 2 models which for some reason don't have a pan roof but which are a fair drive away. Was just wondering if it's worth taking the time off work to drive them. Sounds like it might be if the pan roof lowers the roof height (so without one the roof will be higher).

 

Now, all of RX450h likely came with the moonroof (as well as Nav) when they hit US shores.
But RXes you're looking at never came anywhere close to US, LOL. Bet you can find a an F-Sport version of RXh too!

 

Our son is more than 6'-6" (we stopped measuring his height from that point). He does keep his hair short, but had no significant problems due to number of seat and steering adjustment in our 450h. I do have to raise the seat up and bring it closer after he is done with driving.

I personally have an issue with the incursion of the side door into the cabin as I prefer leaning my left knee outwards as I am driving. Oh well there is always going to be something that will bother any driver.
