2022 Lexus NX 450h+

Toyota is recalling approximately 43,000 Toyota and Lexus plug-in hybrid SUVs over concerns with faulty electricity converters that could increase the risk of a fire.

The 2022 Lexus NX 450+ Plug-in Hybrid in full electric mode is perfectly excellent to drive — it doesn’t feel pokey or limited in the slightest.

The latest recall from Toyota is for a software error regarding its vehicle stability control system that also affects vehicles in its luxury Lexus division.

Much improved over its former self, the 2022 Lexus NX is now competitive with luxury SUVs in its class, though it doesn’t leapfrog them.

The 2022 Lexus NX compact SUV arrives with a new multimedia system, more power for its gas model and a first-ever NX plug-in hybrid model.
