LEXUS RX450H+ - 15 THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW

EV Channels Review

The Lexus RX450h+ plug-in hybrid for 2024 offers a compelling blend of luxury, efficiency, and practicality, positioning itself as a strong contender in the premium PHEV segment. The reviewer highlights its shared powertrain with the Toyota RAV4 Prime and NX PHEV, delivering a combined 304 hp and a real-world electric range of approximately 36 miles, which is commendable even in cold weather. The vehicle boasts a refined and quiet ride, excellent interior materials, and a host of luxury features, including heated/cooled seats and a standard panoramic roof. However, the reviewer notes that the PHEV model is exclusively offered in the Luxury trim, meaning the sportier F Sport variant is unavailable. Criticisms include a slower charging time compared to some rivals and a higher starting price of $70,580, making it the most expensive RX. Despite these points, the RX450h+ is praised for its true luxury experience and efficient powertrain, making it a solid choice for those prioritizing comfort and refinement over outright sportiness.
