What is the range of the Lexus NX 350h EV?
There is no official electric range for the NX 350h, because it is not an all-electric or plug-in hybrid. The NX 350h is a self-charging hybrid that cannot be charged at home and does not offer electric-only driving, so no published EV range. If you're after electric range, look at the NX 450h+ plug-in hybrid (and any fully electric NX variants offered in your market).
What the NX 350h actually is
The Lexus NX 350h is a self-charging hybrid that pairs a 2.5-liter gasoline engine with an electric motor and battery to boost efficiency. It has no charging port, so there is no dedicated electric-only range to report. In short, it operates as a hybrid rather than a battery-electric vehicle.
Engine and drivetrain
In the NX 350h, Lexus combines the engine and electric motor to produce a total system output around 239 horsepower, with power routed through an electronically controlled CVT. The hybrid system can use electric power at low speeds and during light acceleration, but it cannot be plugged in and does not provide a standalone electric range.
Plug-in vs BEV: how the NX lineup differs
Understanding the distinction matters for range expectations. A plug-in hybrid can be charged and offers a defined electric-only range, while a non-plug-in hybrid relies on the gasoline engine and regenerative braking to generate electricity without a dedicated charging inlet.
Key distinctions in practice include:
- No plug-in charging; uses engine and generator to maintain battery during operation
- Electric motor assists at low to moderate speeds, improving efficiency rather than creating EV range
- Fuel economy depends on driving conditions; official estimates vary by market and trim
In short, the NX 350h does not offer an electric-only range; for a guaranteed EV range, look at the NX 450h+ plug-in hybrid or the NX 450e full-electric variant where offered in your market.
NX 450h+ and other electric options in the NX lineup
For buyers seeking an electric-only range within the NX family, the closest option is the NX 450h+. This plug-in hybrid provides a defined electric range when charged, typically around 37 miles (60 kilometers) of EPA-rated electric-only range on a full battery, depending on driving conditions and wheel/tire choice. After the battery is depleted, the vehicle operates as a conventional hybrid.
Note: In markets where a fully electric NX variant (often labeled NX 450e or similar) is offered, official range figures depend on local testing standards (EPA in the United States, WLTP in many other markets) and can vary with equipment and weather. Check your local Lexus specification sheet for the most accurate numbers.
Summary
Bottom line: there is no electric-only range for the NX 350h because it is not a plug-in or fully electric vehicle. If you need electric range, the NX 450h+ plug-in hybrid offers up to about 37 miles of EPA-rated electric range, while a fully electric NX variant exists only in certain markets with its own cycle-tested range figures. Always verify the latest specs with your local Lexus dealer.
