Introducing the 2024 Lexus RX Hybrid: Efficiency and Luxury Combined

A hybrid SUV like the 2024 Lexus RX Hybrid offers you the best of both worlds with a spacious interior and eco-friendly performance. This midsize SUV has luxurious details, a high-performance hybrid powertrain, and excellent technology onboard. 

The base hybrid RX model is the RX 350h AWD model. This SUV is outfitted with a 2.5-liter in-line four-cylinder hybrid engine that provides 246 horsepower and 233 lb-ft of torque. With this amount of power, the hybrid SUV has a top track speed of 124 MPH and can reach 60 MPH in 7.4 seconds. 

The 350h AWD model has a fuel efficiency of 37 MPG in urban areas, 34 MPG on the interstate, and 36 MPG combined. This trim has a 17.2-gallon fuel tank capacity. When the tank is full, you can expect this hybrid to have an urban driving range of 636.4 miles. This model has selectable drive modes for Normal, Sport, ECO, and EV for fuel efficiency and performance toggling. 

Interior

The five-passenger 350h has key interior features like NuLuxe seating material, heated front seats, and 40/20/40 folding rear seats. The NuLuxe seating material is a synthetic leather that looks and feels like genuine leather but is much more eco-friendly to produce. The base model has a dedicated cargo volume of 29.6 cubic feet, but the cargo capacity expands to 46.2 cubic feet when the rear seats are folded down. 

Other key interior features include ambient illumination and door courtesy lamps for optimal cabin visibility at night. This model also has multi-zone climate control to customize the temperature for different passenger zones. 

Technology

The 350h comes with a 9.8-inch touchscreen to house the Lexus Interface and a sophisticated 12-speaker sound system for ideal audio quality, whether you are listening to an audiobook or streaming music. You can integrate your smartphone with your SUV via wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, or access hands-free phone functions with Bluetooth. 

Standard safety technology includes a backup camera, a blind-spot monitor with rear cross-traffic alert, and a Digital Latch with Safe Exit Assist. The Digital Latch allows passengers to open car doors at the push of a button. This feature works with the blind spot monitor to identify approaching cars and automatically locks the doors until the car has passed to avoid accidents.

A hybrid like the RX 350h is a perfect option if you want to reduce your carbon footprint. Take this versatile hybrid out for a test drive at Lexus of Kingsport in Kingsport, TN.
