Lexus: First plug-in hybrid of the brand 🎥

69 KILOMETERS ELECTRICAL With the RX 450h+ model, Lexus now also offers a plug-in variant after the many self-charging hybrid systems. The model is characterized by comfort and easy handling.

 

The advantages of a large SUV are well known. Up to seven people travel comfortably even over longer distances, and space for luggage or leisure equipment is also available. The interior is perfectly air-conditioned, and entertainment, connectivity and safety features are guaranteed. Now there's another aspect to add: Electrified powertrains are said to ensure low consumption and emissions.

Lexus RX 450h+
The Lexus RX 450h+ plug-in hybrid is not only comfortable to drive, but also efficient.

Lexus as a hybrid pioneer in the luxury class
Lexus was the first manufacturer to introduce electrified powertrains to the luxury segment 17 years ago. Now the first plug-in hybrid is being added to the range, enabling long journeys without range concerns and offering striking advantages in terms of fuel consumption and emissions.

The homologation papers show excellent values: CO2 emissions of 24 g/km, gasoline consumption of 1.1 l/100 km and an EV range of up to 69 kilometers. The drive power is 227 kW (309 hp), enabling acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.5 seconds.

Seamless switch to the hybrid drive
These values only show one side of the whole. While most competitors simply switch to gasoline mode when the battery is empty, the RX 450h+ seamlessly switches to hybrid drive so that the battery is recharged while driving. With the benefit of different selectable drive settings, it is always possible to get the most out of the plug-in hybrid system.
