The 2022 Lexus NX 450h+ is the brand's first plug-in hybrid vehicle and the most powerful version of the compact SUV on sale today. Its starting price is over $57,000.
, a typical driver who starts every day with a full charge will see the equivalent of 84 mpg in normal use.
The NX 450h+ can be switched between EV and hybrid mode any time, so you can save the battery for when you want to be the quietest. You only get the full 304 horsepower in hybrid mode when there’s some juice left, however, and Lexus doesn’t say exactly how powerful it is in EV mode. Although the front motor is rated at 182 horsepower and the rear at 54 horsepower. Whatever it is, it's more than enough to get you around with ease, while the hybrid power is substantial in a vehicle this size.The passenger compartment is spacious and luxurious in the Lexus way.
display is easy to use and far better than the console-mounted touchpad the previous generation NX had.A 360-degree camera that creates a virtual view of what’s underneath the vehicle is available as part of a $1,070 option package. It includes a front cross traffic alert that warns of vehicles approaching from the sides at intersections on a head-up display, plus a lane change assist feature that checks for cars.
Regardless of what driving mode you’re using, it's as quiet as can be expected for a compact utility vehicle. The ride is as smooth as glass, and the 10-speaker audio system is as clear as crystal. An F Sport performance model is also offered that has a computer-controlled suspension system, but I doubt most people will feel like they need it.One quirk you need to get used to is opening the doors.
