FAST FACTS
"The challenge facing the plug-in RX 450h+ is clear: it's up against some very heavy artillery in this segment, and it's only bringing a RAV4 powertrain to the fight. That's right — the midsize RX PHEV uses the same power plant as the compact RAV4 PHEV, which means it barely makes 300 horsepower. That's not much by class standards, so you'll have to look elsewhere for this model's virtues. They're plentiful, though, headlined by a refined and quiet ride and the simple fact that Lexus has been doing this luxury hybrid thing way longer than everyone else."—Ranked #3 out of 7 Midsize Luxury PHEV SUVs
