Introducing the Lexus NX. Available in both Plug-In and Self-Charging powertrains, the Lexus NX is nothing like before, as it takes on the ancient Japanese philosophy, Omotenashi, to anticipate your needs throughout. The first Lexus Plug-in Hybrid. The NX range features a four-cylinder 2.5-litre hybrid engine and a rechargeable lithium-ion battery with 18.1 kWh – the highest capacity in its class. Full-time all-wheel drive is enabled through an additional rear electric motor, and it is expected to give 0-60 mph acceleration in just over 6 seconds as the plug-in system produces 306 DIN hp. Also, an EV driving range of more than 40 miles enables all-electric driving at speeds up to 83 mph. The plug-in version sees many benefits, from low BIK taxation to the reassurance of self-charging hybrid power when the battery is depleted.
