What is the range of the NX 450h+ full tank?
On a full tank and full electric charge, the NX 450h+ can cover roughly 500 to 600 miles in combined usage, depending on driving conditions and market specifications.
The NX 450h+ is Lexus’s plug-in hybrid version of the NX lineup. It blends a gasoline engine with an electric drivetrain and a rechargeable battery, so the total range you can travel on a single fill-up depends on how you drive, how often you charge, and the terrain you encounter. The figures below reflect typical estimates used by manufacturers for common markets and model years; exact numbers can vary by region and configuration.
Range breakdown: electric and gasoline components
Below are the core figures you’ll want to consider when planning trips on a full tank of gas and a full battery charge:
- Fuel tank capacity: about 60 liters (roughly 15.9 gallons) in most markets.
- Electric-only range: up to around 36–40 miles (roughly 58–64 kilometers) on a full charge, depending on temperature, terrain, and driving style.
- Gasoline-only range: roughly 450–520 miles (roughly 725–835 kilometers) on a full tank under typical mixed driving, depending on engine load and conditions.
- Combined total range: approximately 500–600 miles (roughly 800–970 kilometers) when starting with both a full battery and a full tank.
Note: Real-world figures vary by market, model year, and how aggressively you drive, climate control usage, and terrain. The NX 450h+ also uses regenerative braking to recharge the battery, which can extend electric-range opportunities during a trip.
Practical considerations and tips
To maximize the effective range on a single trip, drivers can optimize charging, use eco-driving modes, and plan routes that preserve battery for urban segments while letting the gasoline engine handle longer highway stretches. Availability of charging infrastructure and electricity prices also influence the practical benefit of the plug-in hybrid setup.
Summary
The NX 450h+ offers a practical blend of electric and gasoline range that suits both daily commuting and longer road trips. With a full electric charge and a full fuel tank, most drivers can expect about 500 to 600 miles of total range, with electric-only trips covering around 36 to 40 miles and gasoline-only trips spanning several hundred miles. Real-world range will vary by market, driving style, and charging habits.
