Lexus RX450h+ Plug-In Walkaround
From a company that redefined our ideas on just how good an SUV could be comes this, the Lexus RX 450h Plus plug-in hybrid. Blending decades of innovation with cuttingedge technology, it’s Lexus’s first plug-in hybrid RX. Comparing practical, silent, and emissionsfree electric range with Lexus’s proven self-charging hybrid efficiency. I’m Carrie, and today I’ll show you how the RX accomplishes this and how Lexus continues to redefine what a luxury SUV is. With its striking silhouette, the RX450H+ plug-in hybrid radiates a poised confidence from every angle. At its heart is the bold spindle body design, an evolution of Lexus’s signature grill, instantly recognizable and engineered to command attention on any road. Precision LED lighting further defines the RX’s unique identity, not only sculpting its character day and night, but also enhancing visibility and safety for every journey. Every detail is purposeful. From the fluid coupe-like roof line to the sculpted panels, the RX 450H+ makes its presence felt long before you even spot the Lexus badge. The flared rear wings are complemented by the RX’s characteristic floating roof effect, a design touch that delivers a contemporary edge. Step back and you can clearly see its strong, confident stance, especially with these 21in alloys filling the arches. And in the sunshine, the RX really comes to life. This lustrous paint catching the light with a richness that highlights every line and contour. At the back, a single blade of LED light stretches from edge to edge. It’s clean, modern, and instantly recognizable. A signature people will see long after the RX has driven by. Of course, design isn’t just what you see on the outside. Step inside, and it’s the craftsmanship that makes the RX feel so special. Close the door and the outside world fades away. The RX is designed around the Japanese principle of omitanashi. The idea of hospitality that makes every guest feel cared for and you sense it the moment you take to the wheel. The cabin feels open and welcoming, designed with the essentials where you need them. Clear displays, simple controls, and a layout that feels natural from the comfort of the driver’s seat. Amatanashi comes through in the details, too. Whether you choose traditional leather or the leather-like Tahara alternative, which uses no animal products, these seats are a welcoming place to spend time. Four-way lumbar support available on Tacumi grade helps support you on those longer journeys. Seated here, hands on the soft touch steering wheel, you can’t help but feel a sense of quiet confidence. Even the lighting plays its part. Subtle ambient colors can shift the atmosphere to suit your mood, while the panoramic roof brings in natural light and expands the sense of space for everyone on board. And comfort is considered for every passenger. Heated front seats available as standard on every Lexus RX 450H+ keep you cozy in colder months. Those opting for premium plus or upwards can also enjoy ventilated seats to heat or cool to suit the season. To keep up with the demands of family life, those rear seats can be adjusted to accommodate larger items. Easily accessible thanks to the convenient height of the boot. It’s an interior designed to anticipate what you need, to help make every journey feel calm and considered. And that same approach is carried through to the plug-in hybrid technology that powers this RX, ensuring the car is as rewarding to drive as it is easy to use. Electrified vehicles often come with a lot of questions. How they work, whether they’re practical. With the Plug-in Hybrid RX, it’s intuitive from the start. Charging the RX feels familiar. You just connect the cable and it becomes part of your daily routine. No different to plugging in your phone. What I love about the Lexus plug-in hybrid is the freedom it gives you. From a single charge, the RX450H+ can take you up to 42 miles on pure electric power. That’s enough for the school run, the daily commute, the coffee stop, even a lastm minute yoga booking. With the electric motor providing power, and the petrol engine silent, the only noises are the rush of wind, the hum of the city, or the calm of a country road. But when you do need to go further, the RX450H+ simply switches into self-charging hybrid mode, so you can carry on as far as you like without changing your routine. That’s the real luxury here. Not just the technology, but the way it fades into the background, quietly supporting you. It’s that word again. Omatanashi. The RX adapts so you don’t have to. It’s a graceful step into electrification without the learning curve. On the open road, the RX seems to glide calm and composed with every response feeling smooth and assured. It’s the kind of drive that makes the journey itself something to enjoy. The suspension softens rough roads. The steering responds with just the right weight, and the all-wheel drive system gives you more grip and traction whenever the road calls for it. And what really stands out is the quiet. Road noise fades. The cabin becomes a retreat. And you find yourself more present in the drive, not less. It’s a balance that feels uniquely Lexus. Comfort and control, serenity and confidence, elevating every journey. One of the things I appreciate most about the RX is how effortless the technology feels. The central screen is clear and easy to use, 14 in across with everything where you’d expect it. You tap, you swipe, and you’re there with no searching and no second guessing. You can even talk to the RX. A simple, “Hey, Lexus, what do you want to do?” And you can use voice control to adjust the temperature, find a destination, or change your music without taking your hands off the wheel. And of course, your Apple or Android phone connects seamlessly, so your playlists, calls, and maps are right there on the screen. Back at home, the Lexus Link Plus app extends that sense of ease. From your sofa, you can check the RX’s status or set the climate so it’s perfectly prepared before you step outside. It’s a small detail, but one that ensures every journey can begin in comfort. Ultimately, every piece of technology in the RX is shaped by the same Lexus philosophy, anticipating what you need, working quietly in the background and leaving you free to enjoy the drive. And that same thoughtfulness extends to how the car looks out for you and your passengers every time you’re on the road. There’s a real reassurance that comes with the RX, courtesy of the sweet of technology included in Lexus Safety System Plus. Doors that can warn you when you’re about to open them into the path of passing cars or bicycles. Gentle prompts if you begin to drift across a lane. A clear warning if something is in your blind spot. No matter which Lexus RX you choose, Lexus Safety System Plus is fitted as standard. It’s always active, monitoring the road ahead, spotting vehicles or pedestrians at junctions, and even noticing if you’re becoming drowsy or distracted. In moments that matter most, it can step in to help lessen the risk of a collision. It feels natural because the RX doesn’t take over. It simply supports you. So you stay in control with the calm assurance that every journey is protected. So is the RX450H+ plug-in hybrid right for you? It makes electrification effortless and luxury feel personal, supporting you every day and looking after the people who matter most.
