Lexus RX Hybrid Engine Options
The 2023 model year introduced all-new Lexus RX Hybrid engines, and their specs were so impressive that the automaker carried them over to the 2024 lineup. Each is refined, economical, and surprisingly quiet, given the horsepower and torque they can generate. From the entry-level Lexus RX 350h to the top-spec Lexus RX 500h, this SUV is blazing new, fuel-efficient trails for drivers all across the nation.
The first four models of the 2024 Lexus RX Hybrid family are fitted with a 2.5-liter inline four-cylinder engine and a Lexus Hybrid Electric Drive system. Together, these powerhouses generate a highly efficient 246 horsepower and 233 pound-feet of torque. The RX 450h+ Luxury comes with the same engine with plug-in technology – a 2.5-liter inline four-cylinder engine with Lexus Plug-in Hybrid Electric Drive – that produces 304 horsepower.
If these stunning specs aren't enough to get your adrenaline pumping, take a look at the top-quality Lexus RX 500h F SPORT PERFORMANCE AWD, a premium trim that lives up to its sporty name. The Lexus RX 500h uses a turbocharged 2.4-liter inline four-cylinder plus the Lexus Hybrid Electric Drive system to churn out 366 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque – enough power to jolt you from 0-60 in only 5.9 seconds.
No matter which Lexus RX Hybrid trim you prefer, you'll benefit from standard electronic all-wheel drive that sends instant torque to the rear wheels at a moment's notice. Take home the top-tier Lexus RX Hybrid 500h, and you'll gain an innovative DIRECT4 all-wheel-drive system that monitors every wheel and sends the appropriate torque to each corner to elevate driver confidence. This performance-oriented hybrid SUV also utilizes paddle shifters for on-demand shifting and driver engagement and boasts a 3,500-pound towing capacity when properly equipped with an optional Kick Sensor with Tow Package.
Which performance-hybrid powertrain will you select in your new Lexus RX Hybrid? You may be waiting to see what these three Lexus RX Hybrid powertrains can achieve in fuel economy, so let's take a look!
Lexus RX 350 Hybrid MPG Ratings
Right from the start, the Lexus RX 350 hybrid fuel economy proves that luxury and utility can come together in one exceptionally efficient package. This entry-level edition, plus the next three trims in the lineup, puts its gas-hybrid system to work to deliver a fuel-savvy EPA-estimated 37/34 MPG (City/Highway).1 In the real world, this translates to more than 636 miles of city driving per tank of fuel!2
Switching gears to the only plug-in hybrid option, the RX 450h+ Luxury touts an impressive MPGe. While not an official EPA estimate, the Lexus brand estimates around 83 MPGe3 based on their own prototype tests.
If you're intrigued by the efficient performance of the new Lexus RX Hybrid but want a bit more power at the pedal, consider the Lexus RX 500h F SPORT PERFORMANCE model. With its boosted power and torque figures and ample fuel economy, the Lexus RX Hybrid 500h lets you drive home with an economical EPA-estimated 27/28 MPG (City/Highway),1proving that even this sporty SUV trim can deliver next-level fuel efficiency.
The 2024 Lexus RX Hybrid SUV is also fitted with a smooth-operating electronically controlled continuously variable transmission (ECVT) to provide luxurious performance backed by effortless efficiency. Even the Lexus RX Hybrid braking system elevates your fuel economy through its Electronic Brakeforce Distribution and Brake Assist system with regenerative braking.
2024 Lexus RX 350h Fuel Type & Tank Size
We know that the new Lexus RX 350 Hybrid MPG impresses in both city and highway driving, but other factors like fuel type and tank size also play an important role in this SUV's performance. The mild-hybrid editions of the new Lexus RX also come equipped with a large 17.2-gallon fuel tank, so you'll make fewer trips to the gas station. The plug-in hybrid RX 450h+ Luxury trim offers a 14.5-gallon tank, leaning more into its electric capabilities.
Across the lineup, every Lexus RX Hybrid model is engineered for peak performance using premium unleaded gasoline. Performance and efficiency could decrease if you're not filling up with premium fuel, so it's best to follow the automaker's guidance of 91 octane or higher to enjoy the full power and efficiency benefits of a new Lexus RX Hybrid.
Remember that the Lexus RX 350 hybrid MPG ratings remain the same for the first four styles of this hybrid SUV and that the thrilling top-spec Lexus RX 450h+ Luxury and RX 500h models boast stellar fuel economy ratings that rival their non-hybrid competition, so the elevated fuel type is well worth it.
