Lexus has unveiled additional details about the highly anticipated RX 450h+ plug-in hybrid variant, set to launch in the United States later this year. The redesigned model will be available starting at $70,080, including destination charges.

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.

In terms of features, the crossover comes with the Lexus Safety System+ 3.0 suite of driver assistance systems. It includes All-Speed Dynamic Radar Cruise Control with Curve Speed Management, Lane Tracing Assist (Lane Centering) and a Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection. Other highlights include Proactive Driving Assist, Road Sign Assist and Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist.

If the standard systems aren’t enough, you can opt for Traffic Jam Assist and Advanced Park with a Remote Park function. Customers also have the option of a 21-speaker Mark Levinson premium audio system.

The 2024 Lexus RX 450h+ will be available by the end of 2023.
