That’s changing for 2024 with the Lexus RX 450h+, which brings an estimated 83 MPGe and a $70,080 price tag. The SUV goes on sale later this year, bringing a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine and hybrid system shared with the NX hybrid. The combo delivers a 35-mile all-electric driving range and a 6.2-second 0-60 mph time and can recharge at home in about 2.5 hours using 240-volt power.
