I've read that you can get over 300 HP from the NX450h+ by turning the EV mode on with only the ICE running. How do you do that? Is that the only way to get AWD? Thanks for your responses.

Well I would think that would be the HV mode with the ICE and electric combined total of 300hp. EV mode only gives you the power of the electric, altho a full throttle push should also start up the ICE as an override. Of course sport mode to feel all of it off the line if you desire.

Personally I avoid AUTO EV/HV mode as I don't want the cold ICE to suddenly fire up in the city for power.
When driving on the highway, I switch to HV mode.
So I never really use AUTO EV/HV.
IMO, they could make AUTO EV/HV a lot more useful by programming it to switch to HV mode when highway or long-distance or high speed driving is detected.
e.g. GPS says car is driving on a highway/freeway/expressway and speed is greater than X. Speed is greater than X for longer than Y (where Y is a few minutes and X is like 80kmh / 50mph). GPS destination distance is greater than remaining EV range.
