Lexus RX 450h+ Plug-in Hybrid arrives in April 2025
Lexus has confirmed the arrival of the highly anticipated RX 450h+ plug-in hybrid luxury SUV from April, with a starting price of $123,500, excluding on-road costs1.
The upcoming arrival of the RX 450h+ is a further option for Lexus customers looking to reduce their CO2 tailpipe emissions over comparable petrol-only vehicles without compromising on performance. The RX PHEV’s introduction follows the recent reopening of NX 450h+ orders after high global demand led to a temporary delay.
Lexus Australia Chief Executive John Pappas said having a plug-in hybrid option for its two top-selling luxury SUVs supports the brand’s electrification expansion and multi-pathway approach to reducing CO2 tailpipe emissions.
“Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles are a key step in the customer journey from standalone internal combustion engines to full-electric mobility,” Mr Pappas said.
“For many Lexus customers, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles are the right powertrain for the moment, offering the best of both worlds as we continue to develop infrastructure to support a greater uptake of battery electric vehicles.”
The RX is a special model for Lexus, with the RX 400h making headlines upon global debut in 2004 as the first luxury SUV available with an electrified hybrid powertrain. The RX 400h helped spark what would become a Lexus legacy for innovation in pioneering battery-assisted powertrain technology, with a commitment to reduce CO2 tailpipe emissions versus comparable petrol-only vehicles.
Today, more than 3 million Lexus vehicles featuring a hybrid or plug-in hybrid battery-assisted powertrain have been delivered to customers around the world.
The new RX 450h+ utilises a 2.5-litre series parallel plug-in hybrid paired with front and rear electric motors to produce a combined system output of 227kW, with 0-100 km/h acceleration in a claimed 6.5 seconds.
It is the same hybrid powertrain used in the NX 450h+, with a powerful lithium-ion battery designed to be the primary power source for inner urban driving, resulting in an Australian Design Rule (ADR) fuel-consumption of 1.3L/100 kms2 based on the NEDC combined test cycle.
The RX 450h+ comes exclusively in Sports Luxury grade, positioned just below the RX 500h F Sport Performance in price, with the two high-end RX grades offering their own distinctive take on luxury to meet the diverse needs of customers.
The RX 450h+ combines sophisticated luxury with an array of features, including semi-aniline leather-accented seat trim, 10-way power-adjustable front seats with memory, heated and ventilated front and outboard rear seats, a woodgrain-look instrument panel and steering wheel ornamentation, as well as power reclining and folding rear seats.
With the introduction of the RX450h+, the flagship large luxury SUV from Lexus is now available with three powertrains – petrol, hybrid electric vehicles, and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles – in both two-wheel and all-wheel drive configurations. Customers can also select from seven trim grades and two enhancement packs, offering exceptional choice to suit their preferences.
