The Lexus NX has gained a new plug-in-hybrid powertrain that brings a significant boost in electric range as part of the SUV’s first major update since it arrived in the UK four years ago.
The NX 450h+, which was Lexus’s first PHEV, will now be capable of more than 62 miles on electric power alone, up from the previous 45 miles. This is thanks to a new 23kWh battery pack – an increase in capacity of 5kWh – as well as new electricals that improve efficiency.
