ALL HYBRID. NO COMPROMISE.

THE LEXUS HYBRID ELECTRIC LINE.


 
IN THE LEAD: ON THE ROAD AND IN THE INDUSTRY.

In 2005, Lexus transformed the industry with the introduction of the RX 400h-the world's first luxury vehicle to pair an already potent gasoline engine with a powerful electric motor and a self-charging battery. And now, we're offering the next generation of electrified performance with our first-ever Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle, the 2022 NX 450h+ AWD. Currently available in ZEV states excluding VT. See dealership for details.

Boasting a variety of advantages over traditional powertrains, from instantaneous acceleration to added fuel efficiency-all while surrounding the driver with exceptional craftsmanship-Lexus has been increasing its lead ever since.

With a significantly enhanced warranty that covers every new Lexus Hybrid battery*
for 10 years or 150,000 miles, and multiple models to choose from, this is more than progress. It's progress in fast‑forward.

EXPERIENCE THE BENEFITS OF LEXUS HYBRIDS
_____________________________

High performance and fuel efficiency are just two of the advantages offered by a dual-source powertrain.


STARTING FROM A STOP

 
It's an advantage you'll feel in an instant. With a firm press of the accelerator, the powerful electric motors combine with the gas engine to deliver immediate torque and seamless acceleration off the line. When starting from a stop under normal conditions, only the electric drive is used for light acceleration, resulting in a gentle, silent takeoff* and enhanced efficiency.


DRIVING
 
Exceptional MPG estimates are yet another benefit of Lexus Hybrid Drive. Unlike conventional vehicles, which are optimized primarily for cruising, Lexus hybrids offer impressive fuel efficiency in all driving conditions. Whether in city traffic or on the highway, the system optimizes output from the electric motor and gasoline engine, allocating power to the drive wheels as well as to an electric generator. As a result, you won't just enjoy a smoother and quieter ride, you'll enjoy it over many more miles on a single tank of gas.


ACCELERATING
 
Welcome to power to the power of two. During initial takeoff from a stop, the high-output battery alone provides power to the electric drive. As speed increases, the potent gas engine is engaged. And, when extra acceleration is desired, power output from both sources is optimized to deliver an even greater boost. Working in tandem with the Electronically controlled Continuously Variable Transmission, the result is powerful acceleration without the jarring shift points experienced in a conventional vehicle.

BRAKING
 
Instantaneous response and exceptional efficiency are only two of the benefits of the electric power source under the hood. It also charges itself. During braking, the Lexus Hybrid Drive system suspends its delivery of drive power and begins generating electricity. Thanks to this highly effective regenerative braking system, kinetic energy usually lost during braking is instead converted to electricity and sent back to the battery.

AT A STOP
 
Unlike traditional gasoline engines, which must idle and consume fuel even at a standstill, a Lexus Hybrid switches off its gas engine when decelerating and at a stop, saving fuel and minimizing emissions. The electric motor remains ready and available for immediate takeoff.


THE FIRST-EVER LEXUS PLUG-IN HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLE
_____________________________

 Tap into visionary power and efficiency with the debut of the first Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) from Lexus, the 2022 NX 450h+ AWD*.
It's the most powerful and fastest NX ever, boasting an estimated 0-to-60 time of six seconds.*With an all-electric EPA-estimated range rating of 37 miles,* this exhilarating PHEV was designed to exceed imagination as it creates innovative ways to elevate the driving experience. It's the next era of hybrid performance. Currently available in ZEV states excluding VT. See dealership for details.



FUELING THE FUTURE
