Comfort and Powertrain Options

The base model, the RX350h, has a 246‑hp 2.4‑liter engine and an electric motor. It is the most relaxed version, with slower acceleration. The F‑Sport RX500h adds a 366‑hp powertrain but does not change handling. The plug‑in RX450h+ adds 304 hp and a larger battery, but it is also pricier.

The plug‑in model can drive 37 miles on electric power alone. It uses an 18‑kWh battery and a 6.6‑kW charger, which takes about two and a half hours to fill. In real‑world tests the RX350h achieved about 32 mpg on a 75‑mph highway run, the RX500h about 28 mpg, and the RX450h+ about 30 mpg.

The cabin includes standard Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and an optional Wi‑Fi hotspot. Safety features such as automatic emergency braking and blind‑spot monitoring are standard. The warranty covers four years or 50,000 miles, with a six‑year powertrain warranty.
