"If you're wondering whether the NX 450h+ goes beyond its plug-in RAV4 roots, the answer is no — at least not under the hood, where the NX PHEV's 302-horsepower output is exactly the same. But the RAV's six-second sprint to 60 mph was arguably more than adequate already, and the Lexus treatment naturally takes this platform's refinement and features to the next level.
