The RX 450h+ features a plug-in hybrid powertrain that consists of a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, two electric motors, and a lithium-ion battery pack. This setup enables the all-wheel drive crossover to produce a combined output of 304 hp (227 kW / 308 PS) and accelerate from 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) in approximately 6.2 seconds. If drivers keep their foot planted, they’ll eventually top out at 124 mph (200 km/h).
More importantly, the RX 450h+ has an estimated electric-only range of 35 miles (56 km). When the battery is drained, it can be fully recharged in approximately two-and-a-half hours using a 240V outlet.
In addition to the plug-in hybrid powertrain, the RX 450h+ features 21-inch wheels with a dark metallic finish. Buyers will also find perforated semi-aniline leather seats with heating and ventilation. They're joined by a head-up display, a 14-inch infotainment system and a panoramic glass roof. Other highlights include a heated steering wheel, thematic ambient lighting, and Ash Bamboo or Black Open Pore wood trim.
