Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2025 RX450h+.
The 2025 Lexus RX450h+ is a plug-in hybrid crossover SUV equipped with a six-speed automatic transmission (AV-S6), representing the latest evolution of Lexus's luxury utility platform with an electrified powertrain; as a "+" designation model, it offers enhanced battery-only range compared to standard hybrid variants, positioning it as the most advanced iteration within the current RX lineup. With just two recorded owner complaints since introduction — the sole designated issue being visibility — and two associated recalls that have been addressed through standard manufacturer service campaigns, this model year demonstrates a notably clean reliability profile for a first-year release of a substantially reengineered vehicle. The extremely low complaint volume relative to production scale and the targeted nature of the identified concerns suggest that the 2025 RX450h+ has entered the model's lifecycle with fewer widespread hardware or design issues than typical for redesigned vehicles in this segment, which bodes well for long-term ownership satisfaction and suggests that any initial growing pains have been isolated and resolved efficiently through the recall process.

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.
Owner complaints about the 2025 Lexus RX450h+ dominate in one area — the visibility, 1 of 2 reports (50%), well ahead of the next concern. NHTSA has issued no recalls for this vehicle, so these are owner-reported concerns only. 0 of the reports describe a crash and 0 a fire — a small share of the total, but worth weighing against the visibility pattern above. These are tallies of what owners actually reported to the federal government, not an editorial score — and higher-selling models naturally rack up more reports.
