What is the range of the Lexus NX 450h+?

The Lexus NX 450h+ offers about 37 miles of electric-only range on a full charge, with a total range that typically exceeds 400 miles when the gasoline engine is used as needed. Exact figures depend on driving conditions, climate, and charging habits.


The following details break down what to expect from the NX 450h+ in terms of electric range and overall driving reach, along with the factors that can influence real-world performance.


Electric range you can expect


Before listing the key figures, here is what matters for electric-only driving on a full battery.



  • EPA-estimated electric range: about 37 miles (roughly 59–60 km) on a full charge.

  • Battery capacity: nominally 18.1 kWh gross, with usable energy around 17.1 kWh.

  • Real-world factors: weather, driving style, tire choice, and climate control use can affect the EV range.


In electric-only mode, you can expect around 60 kilometers of range under typical conditions, with variations based on climate and equipment.


Hybrid and total range


Next, a look at how range behaves once the battery is depleted or when the vehicle operates as a hybrid, including how far you can go on a full charge plus full fuel tank.



  • Total range is not published as a single figure by Lexus; the NX 450h+ is designed to deliver a combined capability that can exceed 400 miles in typical driving scenarios with a full charge and fuel.

  • The plug-in hybrid uses the gasoline engine to extend range beyond the electric miles when needed.

  • Driving conditions, terrain, climate, and driving style all influence how many miles you can cover on a single charge plus tank.


In practice, many drivers report that the NX 450h+ can cover well over 400 miles on a full charge and full tank under typical highway and city driving, though the exact total varies by year, market, and individual use.


What affects the range


Beyond the base numbers, several factors can shrink or extend range, including battery temperature, charging habits, trip length, and the use of climate control.


Summary


The Lexus NX 450h+ provides an EPA-estimated electric range of about 37 miles per charge, with a total range that generally surpasses 400 miles when combining electric and gasoline power. Real-world range will vary with conditions, but the plug-in hybrid is designed for daily electric commuting with the reassurance of extended range for longer trips.
