Quick Summary

The Lexus NX 450h+ (2022-present) is a plug-in hybrid premium SUV that offers a refreshingly different approach to luxury motoring. With 309bhp and an all-electric range of 47 miles, it combines effortless performance with genuine practicality. The new generation features all-new underpinnings, distinctive styling with integrated fish-hook daytime running lights, and a spacious 521-litre boot that remains uncompromised by the hybrid battery. It's the first plug-in hybrid from Lexus and represents a well-executed entry into the PHEV market, competing directly with the Volvo XC60 T8 Recharge, Audi Q5 TFSI e, and Mercedes GLC.

The NX prioritises comfort and refinement over sportiness, delivering a soothing ride and easygoing driving experience enhanced by electrically adjustable, heated and cooled seats. Real-world fuel economy sits between 50-60mpg with mixed driving, though this improves significantly with regular charging. The infotainment system features a 14-inch HD touchscreen on higher-spec models, tilted towards the driver for intuitive use, alongside comprehensive standard equipment including dual-zone climate control, wireless Apple CarPlay, and a reversing camera. Service intervals are every 12 months or 10,000 miles, with a Hybrid Health Check extending the battery warranty to 15 years.

Best for: Buyers seeking comfort and refinement over sportiness, those valuing reliability and a different approach to premium SUVs, and company car users benefiting from lower benefit-in-kind tax on the plug-in model.

Not ideal for: Drivers prioritising sharp handling, those unable to regularly charge the battery, or buyers seeking a traditional German premium feel.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the NX 450h+ if: You value comfort and refinement over sportiness, seek a different approach to premium SUVs, or benefit from lower company car tax on plug-in models.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise sharp handling, cannot regularly charge the battery, or prefer traditional German premium credentials.

Competitive Position: The Lexus NX 450h+ stands apart from its German rivals by prioritising comfort, refinement, and intelligent design over aggressive styling and sportiness. Whilst the BMW X3 edges ahead on expert ratings and the Volvo XC60 and Mercedes GLC score higher overall, the NX offers exceptional value with its first-generation plug-in hybrid technology and enviable reliability reputation. Its 47-mile electric range and practical 521-litre boot make it genuinely usable, whilst the thoughtfully designed interior and smooth driving experience appeal to those seeking a more relaxed, well-crafted alternative to conventional premium SUVs. For buyers valuing comfort and a different philosophy, the NX is a compelling choice.
