Lexus RX Hybrid Fuel Efficiency

The Lexus RX Hybrid gets an estimated combined 30 MPG (31 city/28 highway). For an assessment of its efficiency, compare that to the 22 combined MPG of the gas-powered RX model.

Because the RX is not a plug-in hybrid, it never needs to be plugged into an electric charger. Instead, the gas powered engine recharges the vehicle’s electric battery. This hybrid system is what enables the RX Hybrid’s enhanced efficiency.
