The Lexus RX Hybrid gives New Zealand buyers a refined five-seat luxury SUV with smooth electrified performance, generous luggage space and strong everyday comfort. The supplied Hybrid catalogue variant covers the official RX 350h self-charging hybrid and RX 450h+ plug-in hybrid choices, allowing buyers to prioritise simple hybrid ownership or greater electric-driving capability.
The current electrified range includes RX 350h Premium, RX 350h Limited and RX 450h+ Limited, while the higher-performance RX 500h is represented separately by the F Sport row.
Lexus New Zealand lists 184 kW of total system output from the 2.5-litre petrol-electric hybrid system.
No. The RX 350h is a self-charging hybrid that recovers energy while driving and braking.
The RX 450h+ is a plug-in hybrid with a larger lithium-ion battery, external charging capability and the ability to cover suitable daily trips using electric power.
The current New Zealand RX hybrid and plug-in hybrid models use electrified all-wheel-drive systems, although buyers should confirm the exact drivetrain on the selected grade.
The official New Zealand brochure lists five seats, 612 litres of luggage capacity and a 2,000 kg braked towing limit when correctly equipped and operated within all mass limits.
Official non-F SPORT colours include Sonic Quartz, Sonic Iridium, Sonic Shade, Graphite Black, Sonic Copper, Titanium, Burgundy, Terrane Khaki and Deep Blue; eight are included in the CSV because the importer provides eight colour slots.
It suits buyers wanting a quiet and spacious luxury SUV with lower fuel use, extensive safety technology and a choice between self-charging and plug-in hybrid ownership.
