I see in the newspaper that Toyota RAV4 has come out with a 2021 RAV4 plug in hybrid (similar to the Prius plug in hybrid). Is the Lexus RX 450h next and when? Batteries weigh 850# and fully charged will drive the RAV4hp for 42 miles on electric mode only.

I've read that the next RX re-design will be built on the current RAV4 platform, which is geared towards hybrid / electric. I would expect an electric version of the next RX generation. Probably 2023 / 2024 is my guess. Lexus has also announced the LQ, but I believe that will be the next level up in luxury, over the RX.

The direction Lexus is going eventually the RX will have a plug-in hybrid version but the NX is scheduled in the 2022 model. It will be the same 300 horsepower 42 mile range that is in the current RAV4 plug-in hybrid. The RAV4 is the most popular selling non pick-up truck model. They will not be able to keep them on the lot. The NX will be four inches longer then the current model which it needs. I will be one of the first in line. Will come with a $7,500 federal tax credit. Comparing a RAV4 hybrid with a plug-in version with the tax credit and comparable options the plug-in becomes the no brainer.
