The future of mobility is here — and it’s got options. Nearly two decades after launching the world’s first luxury hybrid electric vehicle, Lexus is doubling down on its commitment to progress with a multifaceted electrified lineup. All three powertrains deliver the exhilarating performance and driver-centric craftsmanship that defines a Lexus, but with an individualized approach to just how electric you want to be.

How electric, you ask? Check out the video and allow tech journalist Cleo Abram to guide you through a series of interactive questions so you can find out. Maybe the RX Hybrid is your best match. Perhaps you’re more of an NX Plug-in Hybrid person, or maybe your future is meant to be all-electric with the RZ. You won’t know until you watch (and click).

Now that you know what type of electrification is right for you, here’s a little more detail on what your future of mobility can look like.

*Ratings achieved using the required premium unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 91 or higher. If premium fuel is not used, performance will decrease.

Performance figures are for comparison only and were obtained with prototype vehicles by professional drivers.

**Manufacturer’s estimated 220-mile total driving range for 2023 Lexus RZ 450e Premium (18-inch wheels) using EPA’s preliminary testing procedure standards for fully charged vehicle operated under ideal driving conditions (manufacturer-estimated 196-mile range for RZ Luxury or RZ Premium with 20-inch wheels). Use for comparison purposes only. Actual range may decrease significantly depending on speed, outside temperature, accessory use, how/where you drive, charging habits, and other factors. Battery capacity also decreases with time and use which will reduce range. See www.fueleconomy.gov and Owner’s Manual for details.
