Is the Lexus NX an electric car?

So I’m considering buying an EV, but I’m also really hoping to get a Lexus because I love their vehicles. I found some on the website but I wasn’t really sure which one was a gas car and which one was an EV. Is the Lexus NX an electric car?

Yes, the Lexus NX is a hybrid, which is a
type of electric car
that runs on both electric power and gas engine power.
The Lexus NX is a good SUV and is available in both hybrid and plug-in hybrid (NX 450h+) models which are both highly fuel-efficient in this class of vehicle. The hybrid model is called the NX 350h, while the plug-in (PHEV) model comes in both a regular NX 450h+ and an F-Sport version.
The vehicle is equipped with all-wheel drive as well a 240 horsepower system—304 horsepower for the PHEV— which is composed of a four-cylinder gas engine and three electric motors. The PHEV battery is estimated to have about 36 miles of fully-electric range.
Most reviews say this vehicle may not rank so high for its cabin space but is well-loved for its fuel efficiency, safety, and overall performance. The base price for the Lexus NX 350h hybrid starts at $42,625. The NX450+ plug-in hybrid is slightly more at $57,225 with the F-Sport model beginning at $58,475. All the best in your search!
If cost is an issue, don’t let your monthly
car insurance
payments stress you out.
