2024 Lexus RX 450h+

IIHS announced that three model-year 2023 and 2024 mid-size luxury SUVs offer good crash protection for front and backseat occupants in the agency’s updated moderate overlap front crash test, but several others scored acceptable, marginal and poor.

Lexus has kept the 2024 RX fresh, with new technology, a proliferation of powertrains running from gas to hybrid to plug-in hybrid, and styling that’s in keeping with the brand’s motif without being too weird.

Following the SUV’s significant overhaul for the 2023 model year, the RX largely carries over for 2024 with only minimal color and trim changes.

Lexus estimates the 2024 RX 450h+ is capable of 35 miles of all-electric driving and can be fully charged in about 2.5 hours at 240 volts with the standard 6.6-kilowatt onboard charger.
