Refined, responsive and reassuring, this new plug-in hybrid is designed to meet the moment.
In association with Lexus.
The latest addition to Lexus’s most popular SUV in New Zealand brings electrification quietly and cleverly into everyday luxury.
The new NX 450h+ Limited joins the NX range as its second plug-in hybrid, offering a smart, low-emissions option that still delivers the refinement, quality and performance they’re recognised for.
As the top-selling Lexus vehicle in Aotearoa for 2024, this new variant adds even more flexibility. It’s ideal for those wanting the benefits of electric power, without committing to a fully electric vehicle.
You can plug in at home and handle everyday drives in EV mode — with up to 87km of electric-only range — then switch to hybrid power for longer trips, including weekend road trips without range anxiety. That mix of efficiency and ease makes this a compelling choice for those looking to lower their tailpipe emissions while still expecting a car to work around their life, not the other way around.
Inside, the NX 450h+ Limited reflects the kind of polish that defines the Lexus experience. The Tazuna cockpit layout puts the focus on the driver, where everything is within easy reach. The rest of the interior is tailored and calm — a space that feels thoughtful, pared-back and quietly luxurious. A 14-inch touchscreen, natural voice recognition and a full suite of driver-assistance technology make driving feel simple and seamless, whether it’s silent morning commutes to navigating busy afternoons.
From daily errands to spontaneous escapes, the NX 450h+ Limited is made to fit effortlessly into modern life. It’s this kind of thinking that ties into omotenashi — the Japanese concept of anticipating people’s needs — which Lexus weaves through every aspect of their driving experience.
With 88 per cent of local Lexus sales already made up of hybrid, plug-in or fully electric models in 2024, the NX 450h+ Limited is a timely addition offering drivers a low-emissions option that doesn’t compromise on comfort or capability.
If you’ve been thinking about making the switch, the NX 450h+ Limited is the balance you’ve been looking for.
