ICYMI: The Lexus RX was one of the first ever luxury hybrid SUVs to go on sale and it's all new for 2022 👀 We've got all the details
The 450h+ has the same engine and electric motor set-up, but is more powerful, producing 302bhp and 422lb ft of torque. Its 18.1kWh battery is expected to allow it to travel 40 miles or so on pure electric power. That’s not particularly impressive against the X5 xDrive45e and Range Rover Sport P440e, which can officially manage 54 miles and 70 miles respectively. The PHEV RX is said to take about two and a half hours for a full charge using a typical home charger.
At the top of the range is the sportier 500h model, which features a new 2.4-litre turbocharged petrol engine paired with two electric motors. Like the 350h, the 500h is a regular rather than plug-in hybrid, and produces the most power of any RX, with 366bhp and 476lb ft of torque. It also features a six-speed automatic gearbox and a new four-wheel-drive system, which uses a rear-mounted electric motor for improved power delivery.
As the performance model, the 500h features adaptive suspension and larger front brakes for improved stopping power. It also has a new rear-wheel steering system, giving it a much tighter turning radius, making manoeuvring around town far easier. Official WLTP combined fuel economy figures for the RX are 44.1mpg for the 350h, 256.8mpg for the 450h+ and 34.5mpg for the 500h. CO2 emissions figures for the 350h and 500h are rated at 143g/km and 182g/km respectively, but the 450h+ plug-in has a much lower rating of 24g/km.
Inside, the new RX features a driver-focused interior with a new 14in touchscreen housing the car maker’s latest infotainment system (you’ll find the same one in the
