This is a Motormouth couple car review for the new 2022 Lexus NX450h+ plug-in hybrid or PHEV compact SUV. This PHEV has a 2.5L 4-cylinder with Lexus Hybrid Drive matched to an ECVT with a combined 304 horsepower and 61 km/37 miles of range. It gets about 835 km/550 miles per fill and premium fuel is recommended. Standard AWD. The exterior doesn’t look as angular as the outgoing model, it is more rounded with an enhanced spindle grille, standard silver roof rails, LED fog lights, LED headlights, a slim rear LED light bar, the Lexus script, 18” wheels and run flat tires. Our test model in Cloudburst Grey has some extra features like 20” wheels, premium triple beam headlights and a power rear door with kick sensor. These features including, the exterior and interior colour combo are available in the Executive Package for $15,450 CAD. There are no packages in the US, but you can add a la carte items to the base trim, 20” wheels are standard and our test model colour combo is available on the model along with black, cream or red upholstery. The NX 450h+ starts at $59,950 CAD/$57,225 USD and comes with an impressive amount of standard features like a 14” touchscreen, 7” multi-information display, wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto, heated and ventilated front leather seats, heated steering wheel, an 8-way power driver and passenger seat, driver seat memory, moonroof and heated rear seats. This Lexus NX450h+ gets a combined 2.8Le/100km, 84 MPGe with a full battery and 6.6L/100km, 36 MPG when the battery is depleted. In Canada, it comes with a 6.6 kW onboard charger but in the US, it’s 3.3 kW. The larger charger is available in the US for $800. With a Level 2 charger it can reach a full charge in 4.5 hours and the 450h+ can tow 2,000 pounds. The new Lexus NX is longer, wider and taller than the outgoing model but still not as big as the Acura RDX. In comparison, the RDX is over 3 inches longer, offers almost 2 inches more second row legroom, an extra 6.8 cubic feet behind the second row and 12 cubic feet more overall cargo capacity. The RDX also offers a flat floor in the second row which the NX does not have. Our test model in bright blue with a black & tan interior and black open-pore wood trim looks quite elegant. It has a 14” touchscreen, a 10” head up display leather-trimmed heated and ventilated front seats, a heated steering wheel which is heated all the way through, power driver and passenger seats, driver seat memory, a 6.6 kWh charger which is standard in Canada, the US gets a standard 3.3 kWh charger and 20” wheels.
