Question 1

What is the difference between a Lexus hybrid and a Lexus plug-in hybrid?

Accepted Answer

A self-charging hybrid such as the LBX, UX 300h or ES 300h recovers energy while driving and braking and has no charging socket. The NX 450h+ and RX 450h+ have a larger battery you charge from the mains, so short trips can be driven on electricity alone.

Question 2

Which engines do the new Lexus hybrids have?

Accepted Answer

The LBX has a 1.5 hybrid with 136 PS and the UX 300h a 2.0 hybrid with 199 PS. The ES 300h comes with front-wheel drive or AWD, and the NX 450h+ and RX 450h+ plug-ins both have 309 PS and AWD.

Question 3

Which is the smallest new Lexus hybrid?

Accepted Answer

The LBX, the brand's compact entry model, with a 1.5 hybrid and trims from Cool and Relax to Elegant and Emotion. The UX 300h is a step up in size, and the ES 300h is the hybrid saloon of the range.

Question 4

What tax does a new Lexus hybrid pay in the Netherlands?

Accepted Answer

Every hybrid pays BPM on its WLTP CO₂ figure, already in the list price, so a plug-in's low official figure keeps its BPM down. The MRB is billed per quarter on weight with no petrol surcharge, plus the provincial opcenten, and since 2026 a plug-in of 1–50 g/km pays it in full.
