Plug-in hybrid vehicles give drivers the best of both worlds. They offer the efficiency of an electric car, with some of the power and performance of gas vehicles. Although many electric vehicles are catching up to their gas counterparts in terms of performance, hybrid models remain highly popular. One of the most dependable luxury hybrid manufacturers is Lexus. With their robust line of LEV hybrids, Lexus excels at creating innovative and efficient hybrid engines. Among the brand’s standout vehicles is the Lexus NX Plug-in Hybrid. The NX Hybrid is an impressively efficient and durable hybrid model. Here is everything you need to know about the NX Hybrid.
Lexus NX Plug-In Hybrid Range and Efficiency
As mentioned above, the Lexus NX Plug-in Hybrid is remarkably efficient, especially for an SUV. When operating strictly on battery power, the NX can drive up to 37 miles without using any gas.

The result is one of the most efficient vehicles of any type on the road.
Lexus Plug-In Hybrid Driving Performance
The standard model NX provides 240 horsepower, while the slightly stronger 450h+ AWD model boosts the horsepower up to 304. Both models have a top speed of 124, but the 450+ offers improved acceleration, going from 0 to 60 in 6.0 seconds. This is compared to 7.2 seconds on the standard model.
Because it is able to utilize both gas and electric power, the NX provides a very powerful and sporty ride. As is customary for a Lexus vehicle, the NX has advanced safety features and can excel in any driving condition.
