MEET THE LEXUS RX PLUG-IN HYBRID
Be no one else in the RX 450h+.
Crafted with Sports Luxury features, the RX 450h+ offers a new dimension of electrified performance, comfort and style.
With a 2.5-litre 4-cylinder engine and Plug-in Hybrid system, enjoy electric driving for short trips and hybrid for longer ones.
Powerful performance, lower tailpipe emissions
The RX 450h+ seamlessly blends powerful electrified performance with low fuel consumption.
With front and rear electric motors delivering 227kW of combined power, this Plug-in Hybrid accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in approximately 6.5 seconds.
Its advanced lithium-ion battery acts as the primary power source for urban driving, achieving an EV driving range of up to 65km (NEDC)2 and average fuel-consumption of 1.3L/100 kms3 based on the NEDC combined test cycle.
Convenient charging
The RX 450h+ supports Alternating Current (AC) Type 2 charging. Simply plug in at home or at the growing network of public charging stations.
For added security, the charging port lid locks automatically with door locking and unlocking.
Equipped with a 7 kW onboard traction battery charger, it takes around 7.5 hours to fully charge using a standard AC Type 2 charger at a maximum charging current of 10A or approximately 2.5 hours at 32A, found at public charging outlets.4
The Benefits of Plug-in Hybrid
With an all-electric driving range of 65km (NEDC)2, the RX 450h+ uses the electric motor more than a regular Hybrid does, overall reducing petrol reliance.
The vehicle switches to Hybrid driving mode when the electric battery is running low. The petrol engine is then assisted by the electric motors to power the vehicle and maintain the battery’s charge level.
Equipped with Lexus Safety System+5, our Plug-in Hybrids are designed to give you greater control and peace of mind.
Combining 15 years of pioneering Hybrid research and a default electric (EV) driving mode, has resulted in Plug-in Hybrids which can emit zero tailpipe COâ‚‚ emissions when driving at low speeds on EV drive mode.6
How Plug-in Hybrid works
Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs) combine a conventional petrol engine with an electric motor, powered by a rechargeable battery. This battery can be recharged through either the hybrid system, or connecting to an electricity supply. In EV mode, the RX 450h+ can perform as a pure electric vehicle. When the battery depletes, it then combines petrol with renowned Lexus Hybrid technology.
Powertrain modes for every journey
The RX 450h+ is designed to offer maximum versatility, allowing drivers to seamlessly switch between four distinct driving modes - EV Priority, Auto EV/HV, HV, and Battery-Charging - at the press of a button. In Auto EV/HV mode, if the accelerator is fully pressed, or if more power is required temporarily such as for sudden acceleration, the engine will start, enabling powerful HV acceleration.
