RX

Q: How does the RX 350h hybrid work?

ALL-ELECTRIC AT LOWER SPEED When you start off and at lower speeds, the powerful front electric motor (and rear electric motor on All-Wheel Drive models) propels the RX 350h with electric power supplied by the battery. At this point you are enjoying near-silent and 100% electric driving for a short distance. NEAR SILENT AT CRUISING SPEEDS Lexus Self-Charging Hybrids are quiet and relaxing to drive. At higher speeds, the ultra-smooth 2.5-litre petrol engine cuts in quietly and receives assistance from the electric motor(s) when required. With the engine running at optimal speed, surplus power can be used to charge the battery. Alongside low emissions and fuel consumption, this near perfect distribution of petrol and electric power also provides the extraordinary driving enjoyment which characterises the RX 350h. RAPID LINEAR ACCELERATION Lexus Self-Charging Hybrids are fun to drive. When you accelerate hard, the power of the electric motor(s) instantaneously supplements the RX’s 2.5-litre petrol engine. Together they deliver a potent surge of torque, providing rapid linear acceleration precisely when you need it. REGENERATIVE BRAKING, NO PLUGGING IN When decelerating, coasting, or when you come to rest, the petrol engine often turns off silently. On braking, or when you take your foot off the accelerator, regenerative braking harnesses your car’s kinetic energy (this is wasted in conventional cars). The RX 350h converts this into electrical energy for storage in the hybrid battery, together with power generated whilst driving at higher speeds, which means it never needs plugging in.

The RX range offers three kinds of hybrid drivetrain: Self-Charging Hybrid, Plug-in Hybrid and Performance Hybrid.

ALL-ELECTRIC AT LOWER SPEED

When you start off and at lower speeds, the powerful front electric motor (and rear electric motor on All-Wheel Drive models) propels the RX 350h with electric power supplied by the battery. At this point you are enjoying near-silent and 100% electric driving for a short distance.

NEAR SILENT AT CRUISING SPEEDS

Lexus Self-Charging Hybrids are quiet and relaxing to drive. At higher speeds, the ultra-smooth 2.5-litre petrol engine cuts in quietly and receives assistance from the electric motor(s) when required. With the engine running at optimal speed, surplus power can be used to charge the battery. Alongside low emissions and fuel consumption, this near perfect distribution of petrol and electric power also provides the extraordinary driving enjoyment which characterises the RX 350h.

RAPID LINEAR ACCELERATION

Lexus Self-Charging Hybrids are fun to drive. When you accelerate hard, the power of the electric motor(s) instantaneously supplements the RX’s 2.5-litre petrol engine. Together they deliver a potent surge of torque, providing rapid linear acceleration precisely when you need it.

REGENERATIVE BRAKING, NO PLUGGING IN

When decelerating, coasting, or when you come to rest, the petrol engine often turns off silently. On braking, or when you take your foot off the accelerator, regenerative braking harnesses your car’s kinetic energy (this is wasted in conventional cars). The RX 350h converts this into electrical energy for storage in the hybrid battery, together with power generated whilst driving at higher speeds, which means it never needs plugging in.

Our Lexus Plug-in Hybrid drivetrain combines the advantages of 4th generation Lexus Self-Charging Hybrid* and Lexus Electric Vehicle (EV) technology. The ‘plus’ in the RX 450h+ name pays tribute to the car’s extra-powerful lithium-ion battery and exceptional range in EV mode. And unlike a conventional plug-in when the battery is depleted, on the Lexus RX 450h+, it switches to highly efficient Lexus Self Charging Hybrid mode and recharges the battery as you drive.

EV MODE

The RX 450h+’s four-mode selector ensures your journey is always smooth and fun. The EV default setting maximizes battery use, allowing you to travel distances up to about 70 km (combined cycle, up to 90 km in the city). Powered by an advanced 18.1 kWh lithium-ion battery, you can enjoy near-silent and all-electric driving up to 135 km/h.

ACCELERATION ON DEMAND

In Auto EV/Hybrid mode, and depending on how hard you depress the accelerator, the powerful petrol engine will spring to life and deliver rapid linear acceleration just when you need it, letting you reach 100 km/h in a mere 6.5 seconds.

CHARGES ON THE GO

If you urgently need to charge your battery, for instance to enter a zero emissions zone, you can use the Battery Charging mode to top it up.

EXPERIENCE FROM 2.5 MILLION HYBRIDS

Benefiting from our 4th generation Lexus Self-Charging Hybrid technology, if the battery’s charge level drops while in EV or Auto EV/Hybrid mode, the system will switch to ultra-efficient Hybrid mode, letting you enjoy full vehicle power again.

PLUG IN AT HOME OR AWAY

For maximum EV range and performance, top up the battery at your own Lexus home charging station or at a public charging point. The Lexus Link+ app shows you the location, availability and even cost per km at stations across Europe.

_{WLTP is an official test recorded in laboratory conditions (23°C, climate control off, on a chassis dynamometer) that enables customers to compare different BEV models based on the same criteria.

While WLTP figures are standard, displayed range and efficiency will vary depending on individual factors, and understanding them can help customers fully appreciate their vehicle.}

To mark 35 years of Lexus, we chose to create an exclusive flagship SUV. From first glance, you feel there’s something special about the RX 500h Special Edition. The unique 21" piano black 5-double-spoke alloy wheels, complemented by front, side and rear mouldings also in piano black, lend a real sense of occasion to this car, heightened by the alluring F SPORT body colour options.

We work hard to ensure your Lexus hybrid is a joy to drive and own. With over 500,000 Lexus hybrids on European roads today, all are built at dedicated ultramodern production plants in Japan to the exacting quality standards that consistently net Lexus hybrids reliability awards across the globe. Aside from the striking smoothness and refinement, you’ll appreciate the substantially lower running costs – not just fuel, but reduced expenditure on brakes, tyres and other components, thanks to the regenerative braking and advanced power control systems.

The Lexus RX is a mid-size luxury SUV crossover. The RX sits on a 2,850 mm wheelbase and is 4,890 mm long, 1,920 mm wide and 1,695 mm high. Inside it’s spacious too. Developed for the RX models and installed under the rear seats, its high-performance lithium-ion batteries contribute to both the spacious interior and excellent driving performance.
