EV Channels Review
The 2025 Lexus NX 450h Plug-In Hybrid was tested for its all-electric range, with the reviewer aiming to match the EPA's 37-mile rating. Despite a mixed driving route including highway speeds and city driving, the NX 450h ultimately achieved 33.9 miles of electric-only range. This fell short of the advertised 37 miles and was surprisingly identical to the range achieved by the larger Lexus RX plug-in hybrid, which shares a similar powertrain. The reviewer noted potential factors like roof crossbars impacting aerodynamics and a slightly cooler ambient temperature compared to the RX test. While impressed with the vehicle's driving dynamics, power delivery, and competitive charging speed, the reviewer expressed mild disappointment in the electric range falling short of expectations and the competition. The NX 450h is considered a solid, competent option, but may not be the best in every metric, particularly for those seeking maximum electric range.
