2024 Lexus RX 450h+ Enhances the Brand's Electrified Lineup

The Lexus brand has long been a trailblazer in the luxury SUV segment, known for its combination of comfort, style, and innovative features. And now, the 2024 RX 450h+ builds on this legacy by introducing a hybrid powertrain that reflects Lexus's commitment to sustainability and forward-thinking solutions. As the first luxury brand to offer a hybrid in this particular segment, Lexus builds on last year's all-new redesign of the iconic crossover vehicle and brings together fuel efficiency, powerful performance, and a host of cutting-edge features. This hybrid variant of the popular RX model aims to redefine the expectations of environmentally conscious driving without compromising on the premium experience synonymous with the Lexus brand.

The exterior design of the 2024 RX 450h+ is a testament to Lexus's dedication to modern aesthetics and aerodynamics. Striking LED headlights, a distinctive spindle grille, and sculpted lines contribute to a bold and sophisticated appearance highlighted by eight exterior color options including Eminent White Pearl, Cloudburst Gray, Iridium, Caviar, Matador Red Mica, Copper Crest, Nori Green Pearl and Nightfall Mica. Hybrid-specific elements, such as blue accents and unique badging, distinguish the RX 450h+ from its non-hybrid counterparts, making a subtle yet impactful statement about its eco-friendly credentials. Lexus's attention to detail is evident in the meticulously crafted interior which showcases refined finishes and standard features such as perforated semi-aniline leather-trimmed furnishings, heated and ventilated seats, ambient lighting, heated wood and leather-trimmed steering wheel, standard panorama glass roof, and an available 21-speaker Mark Levinson® premium surround sound system. The hybrid model maintains the spacious and ergonomically comfortable cabin that the RX is known for, ensuring a premium experience for both driver and passengers. Advanced technology enhancing the overall interior ambiance includes intuitive controls, and a large standard 14-inch high-definition touchscreen with high-adhesion, anti-reflective coating producing a high-quality vivid display.

The RX 450h+ excels in the performance department, thanks to its hybrid powertrain comprised of a high-capacity lithium-ion battery paired with a 2.5-liter inline 4-cylinder engine. The SUV has a manufacturer-estimated combined 83 MPGe rating and an EPA-estimated 37-mile driving range rating on electric power only. The hybrid system provides seamless transitions between electric and gasoline power, offering a smooth and responsive driving experience with consistent off-the-line acceleration that achieves a 0-60 time of an estimated 6.2 seconds. Drivers can choose from various driving modes to tailor the performance to their preferences, whether they prioritize efficiency or a more dynamic driving feel. Loaded with advanced features, the RX 450h+ is a showcase of Lexus's commitment to innovation. Technology highlights include a comprehensive infotainment system, smartphone integration, and a suite of driver-assistance features for enhanced safety. The hybrid model also incorporates regenerative braking, contributing to its overall efficiency. Luxurious touches, such as heated and ventilated seats, add to the premium experience that Lexus is known for.
