I drove the Lexus RX 450h+ for a week — it’s a solid blend of gas and all-electric power

2026 Lexus RX 450h+ review.

The 2026 Lexus RX 450h+ is a luxury midsize crossover SUV that starts at $66,680. It features an 18.1 kWh battery estimated for 38 miles of range, meaning you can choose to drive with 100% all-electric power or fall back on gas-hybrid power when needed. This versatility can ultimately help offset surging gas prices.
