Outside, notable features of the Lexus RX 450h+ include its spindle body design and seamless grille, standard 21-inch 20-spoke alloy wheels with a dark premium metallic finish, and single-lens taillamps.

It will be offered in eight exterior color options: Eminent White Pearl, Cloudburst Gray, Iridium, Caviar, Matador Red Mica, Copper Crest, Nori Green Pearl, and Nightfall Mica.

Inside, the Lexus RX 450h+ boasts heated and ventilated ergonomic leather seats, heated wood and leather-trimmed steering wheel, a 14-inch touchscreen infotainment system, and an available 21-speaker Mark Levinson Premium Surround Sound System.

In the area of safety, the Lexus RX 450h+ will offer features like a pre-collision system with pedestrian detection, proactive driving assist, road sign assist, and lane departure alert with steering wheel assist to name a few.
