The RX 450h+ drives forward with the same plug-in hybrid system that was already successfully introduced in the NX. It combines a 2.5-liter four-cylinder hybrid engine operating in the Atkinson cycle with an 18.1 kWh lithium-ion battery. An additional electric motor in the rear enables Lexus E-Four permanent all-wheel drive. The plug-in system produces 227 kW (309 hp) of power and enables 0-100 km/h acceleration in 6.5 seconds. Overall, performance is roughly on par with the previous RX 450h, but with more torque and quicker acceleration. With more of the power coming from the electric motors, driving feels effortless and refined. Fuel consumption and emissions will also be significantly lower. Lexus expects very competitive CO2 emissions (WLTP cycle) of less than 26 g/km and fuel consumption of less than 1.2 l/100 km. The RX 450h+ can cover around 65 kilometers in purely electric mode and thus with zero local emissions; the electric top speed is limited to 130 km/h.

All-electric Rolls-Royce Spectre concludes winter testing 55km from Arctic Circle

1 April 2022 33 Views

A new Rolls-Royce motor car always begins its life in winter. Temperatures at the Bespoke facility used by the marque, located in Arjeplog, Sweden, just 55km from the arctic circle, drop to -26 degrees centigrade and are further cooled to -40 degrees centigrade. There are several reasons for subjecting the marque’s products to such extremes. When the first prototypes are built, engineers perform very basic tests in extreme conditions to ensure that each system is operational and functions at a basic level in a cold weather environment. This test is combined with the beginnings of the refinement process – the first ‘lessons’ in a finishing school that will form the foundations of a motor car worthy of the marque.
