DRIVING THE FUTURE

THIS IS LEXUS. ELECTRIFIED.

We haven’t just imagined an electric future. For 15 years, we’ve been crafting one. Today we offer a range of Hybrid Electric vehicles that give you total freedom, with no compromise on luxury, power or performance. Including the NX 450h+, our first Plug-in Hybrid Electric. With an even brighter electrified future to come. This is Lexus. Electrified.

INTRODUCTION TO SELF-CHARGING HYBRIDS

NO NEED TO PLUG-IN. NO NEED TO CHANGE DRIVING HABITS. NO COMPROMISE IN PERFORMANCE OR FUEL EFFICIENCY.

Lexus Self-Charging Hybrid Electrics are electrified vehicles with some potent differences over pure Battery Electrics Vehicles (BEV). With a Lexus Hybrid Electric, you never need to plug-in, worry about where the next charging station might be, or change your driving habits in any way. Just get in and go.

WORLD’S FIRST. WORLDS APART.

Lexus introduced RX Hybrid - the world’s first luxury self-charging hybrid - more than a decade ago. Since then, we’ve continued to push boundaries and pursue new innovations. Today, we offer more luxury hybrids than any other manufacturer in Canada. Test drive one for yourself and find out what millions of Lexus Hybrid drivers around the world have already discovered - power, exercised wisely, is a beautiful thing.

MADE IN CANADA. MADE FOR CANADA

RX Hybrid is not only the original self-charging hybrid luxury SUV, it is also built at our internationally renowned plant in Cambridge, Ontario. With features like AWD and heated rear seats, it’s the ideal vehicle for life in Canada - and just one of many great Lexus hybrids to choose from.

HOW LEXUS SELF-CHARGING HYBRID ELECTRICS WORK

HOW LEXUS SELF-CHARGING HYBRID ELECTRICS WORK

HYBRID ELECTRIC TECHNOLOGY

Lexus Self-Charging Hybrid Electrics combine a technologically advanced gas engine with a powerful battery and electric motor(s), and the intelligence to automatically select the best combination of gas and electric based on your driving needs. Because the battery re-charges both as you drive and during braking, you never need to take time out to plug-in, and you’ll visit the gas pumps less often when compared to a conventionally powered Lexus.

PERFORMACE

Lexus Self-Charging Hybrid Electrics deliver an extraordinary blend of power and fuel efficiency; breathtaking acceleration and supremely quiet ride; engaging driving dynamics and blissful peace of mind.

EXPERIENCE THE BENEFITS OF LEXUS HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLES

STARTING FROM TOP

All electric. Silent operation.

Lexus Self-Charging Hybrid Electrics are ready when you are, without ever needing to plug-in to recharge - simply press the power button and go. During initial take-off, the high-output battery and electric motor provide all the power you need - enhancing fuel efficiency while lowering CO2 emissions.

Accelerating

Gas & electric. Powerful acceleration. Smooth ride.

As you accelerate and require more power, the gas engine is automatically engaged. The revolutionary Lexus Hybrid Drive optimizes power from both sources. Leveraging the Electronic Continuously Variable Transmission (eCVT), you’ll experience instantaneous response and powerful acceleration with a seamless transition between gas and electric motor.

Cruising

Optimized power flows. Fuel efficient at all speeds.

At cruising speeds, the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) sends power to the drive wheels and an electric generator. Excess energy is used to help re-charge the hybrid battery, while the ideal combination of gas and electric power helps you get more out of every fill-up.

Regenerative Braking

Electric mode. Reduced emissions. Regenerative braking.

Take your foot off the gas pedal, or press the brake pedal, and the regenerative braking system recovers some of the kinetic energy lost - improving fuel economy and reducing emissions*. This energy is then converted to electricity that is then used to recharge the battery - so you never need to plug-in.

* Disclaimer: This is dependent on many operating conditions.

AT A STOP

All electric. Silent operation.

When you come to a stop, the gas engine automatically switches off, saving fuel and minimizing emissions. If the hybrid battery is running low, the gas engine knows to start, generating the energy required to charge the battery. Press the accelerator, and the virtuous cycle begins anew.

LEXUS SELF-CHARGING MULTI-STAGE HYBRID ELECTRIC

A WORLD’S FIRST, LEXUS’ SELF-CHARGING MULTI-STAGE HYBRID ELECTRIC TECHNOLOGY TAKES THE HYBRID EXPERIENCE TO AN EXHILARATING NEW LEVEL - CARRYING YOU FROM 0-100 KM/H IN 4.7 SECONDS OF PURE EXHILARATION.

That’s just the start. A finely tuned 4-speed gearbox, added to the existing eCVT (Electronic Continuously Variable Transmission), creates a hybrid electric system that simulates a 10-speed transmission - the fiercely connected feel of selecting gears yourself using steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters.

Available now on the Lexus LS 500h and LC 500h, the Self-Charging Multi-Stage Hybrid Electric is our latest innovation, and a taste of the dynamic Hybrid Electric innovations that are just down the road.

PLUG-IN HYBRID ELECTRIC (PHEV)

Similar to Lexus’ Hybrid Electrics, our Plug-in Hybrid Electric technology seamlessly blends two power sources – an ultra-smooth gas engine, and a powerful electric motor. With its large battery, and ability to plug-in, you can travel faster and further in electric mode alone. Now available on the all-new Lexus NX 450h+.

EV MODE

EV, or electric-only mode, maximizes battery use, allowing you up to a 61 km range using only electric power. With its advanced 18.1 kWh lithium-ion battery, you also enjoy instant acceleration, near-silent driving, and the ability to reach speeds of up to 135 km/h.

lexus-hybrid-plug-in-hybrid-auto-ev-hybrid-mode-m

AUTO EV/HYBRID MODE

In Auto EV/Hybrid mode, simply press the accelerator, and the powerful gas engine springs to life, delivering rapid acceleration, capable of carrying you to 100 km/h in just over 6 seconds.

lexus-hybrid-plug-in-hybrid-power-control-unit-m

POWER CONTROL UNIT

The heart of the system, the Power Control Unit (PCU), continuously monitors driving conditions, then selects the best power source – or ideal blend of power sources – for any given moment. Tailored to the high-capacity lithium-ion battery, the PCU optimizes performance at all speeds.

CONVENIENT CHARGING

Charging is as easy as plugging in. The NX 450h+ is equipped with a 6.6 KW on-board charger capable of Level 1 (120 volt) or Level 2 (240 volt) charging. With Level 1, it will take approximately 12 hours to fully charge. For level 2, it can fully charge in as little as 2.5 hours. You can also set your own charging schedule for a specific day and time. No special equipment is required. And, when not at home, you can make use of any public EV charging station that offers Level 2 charging capabilities.

THE BENEFITS OF PLUG-IN HYBRID ELECTRICS

PROTECTING THE PLANET

With its ability to travel faster and further on electric power only, Lexus Plug-in Hybrid Electrics offer significant reductions in emissions. Lexus is also committed to achieving zero CO2 emissions from all Lexus plants by 2050.

REDUCING COSTS

With a fully-charged battery and full tank of gas, the NX 450h+ Plug-in Hybrid Electric has a range of up to 61km in EV mode. The greater the travel in EV mode, the greater the cost savings in fuel – while producing almost no emissions whatsoever.

THE LEXUS APP

For a seamless electrified experience, you can monitor the charge level and range of your NX 450h+ remotely, on your mobile through the Lexus App.
