Lexus NX Plug-in Hybrid First Drive

Introduction

The NX450h+ plug-in hybrid gets 37 miles of electric driving range and shares the 304-hp, 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with the Toyota RAV4 Prime. Of the NX line, the NX350h hybrid is the best version with its 38 mpg overall fuel economy. It's very quiet when it uses the electric drive at low speeds. Handling is responsive though short of sporty, while the ride is firm but mostly comfortable. The hybrid's brake pedal is a bit touchy and takes some getting used to. The snazzy cabin is impeccably furnished but narrow, and outward visibility is hampered by thick roof pillars and small windows, particularly toward the rear. A new touchscreen infotainment system replaces the previous NX's fussy touchpad setup. We're no fans of the electronic interior door releases, unintuitive gear selector, and low center dash vents.
