WATT MATTERS?

A five-seat plug-in hybrid SUV with eFour all-wheel drive, 227 kW combined output and an 18.1 kWh battery. The manufacturer claims up to 87 km electric-only on the NEDC cycle. Luxury and F Sport have separate regional price references.

THE WATTCAR TAKE

This makes sense for loyal Lexus buyers with regular access to charging. Its value is less obvious if it spends most of its life running as an ordinary petrol hybrid.
