Description:
As the first luxury brand to offer a hybrid in the segment, it’s only fitting that the RX series offers a variety of electrified powertrains. Building on last year’s complete redesign of the iconic SUV, Lexus now adds its much-anticipated plug-in hybrid electric model to the RX lineup, providing an exciting new choice to Canadian Guests who are fans of the popular RX luxury SUV series. The Lexus RX 450h+ provides Guests with everything they’ve come to expect from the RX series – including standard luxury elements, human-centric intuitive technology, thoughtful in-cabin features, and state of the art safety technologies.<br/><br/>Powered by a high-capacity lithium-ion battery paired with a 2.5-litre inline 4-cylinder engine (shared with the NX 450h+), the 2024 RX 450h+ hybrid system has a combined fuel consumption of 2.8 Le/100 km. The system provides luxury performance and consistent acceleration off the line with an estimated 6.5 second 0-100 km/h time. The RX 450h+ has a manufacturer-estimated 60 km driving range rating on electric power only.<br/><br/>The RX450h+ comes equipped with a Level 1 vehicle-charging cable for 120V outlets and all models are equipped with a J1772 (Type 1) socket for at-home and public charging. A high-output, high-efficiency system designed to reduce power loss when converting from AC power to DC power results in faster charging times. Using the maximum charging current of 240V and under ideal conditions, the Lexus RX 450h+ can be fully charged in approximately two-and-a-half hours using the standard 6.6 kW Onboard Charger.<br/><br/>The RX 450h+ utilizes an electronically controlled, full-time AWD system for a confident, sporty driving experience, led by Lexus Driving Signature vehicle fundamentals. Optimizing front and rear torque distribution according to the driving conditions, the driver can control the vehicle as preferred throughout varied road conditions and driving styles.
