The TX 500h hybrid in the middle of the 2024 Lexus TX SUV lineup isn’t the “just right” choice—but the plug-in sure is.

Accompanying Tokyo auto show teaser images are what appear to be the silhouettes of two crossovers on a show stand, plus the front end of what could be a sportier coupe or sedan.

The plug-in hybrid crossover, due late in 2023, employs a version of the the long-established Toyota/Lexus planetary hybrid system that's also used in the Lexus NX PHEV and Toyota RAV4 Prime.

Lexus will soon have the TX 550h+ plug-in hybrid in addition to the RX 450h+ PHEV. Has a Toyota Highlander Prime missed its curtain call?

The smaller LBX hybrid slots below the UX family, which includes an EV in Europe—and for it Lexus is sticking to the "self-charging" marketing term seen as misleading.

A standard steering wheel and conventional electric power steering will come with the first Lexus EV, but—OMG—the yoke's on the way.

The first U.S.-market EV from Lexus only goes 220 miles on a charge and costs nearly $60,000. But by the luxurious cabin and feature list, it may have its own corner of the market.

With a larger 72.8-kwh battery pack the electric UX now tops 200 miles of range. Don't look for it in America anytime soon though.

The RX 450h+ will cost more and weigh more than hybrid versions of the popular Lexus crossover—without remarkable performance or electric range.

With Lexus' Direct4 motor system and a PHEV on the way, the 2023 RX will have no shortage of advanced hybrid tech.

The 2023 Lexus RZ 450e will compete with the likes of the Tesla Model Y, Genesis GV60, Kia EV6, and Hyundai Ioniq 5.

Lexus is aiming to be all-electric by 2030, and the 2023 RZ is the first step. It's due for a reveal in production form soon.

A sports car with a 430-mile range and low-2-second acceleration to 60 mph is part of Lexus' EV plan.

Toyota's Lexus luxury brand is going all-electric by 2030, even in the U.S. Where does that leave Toyota in America?

The first U.S.-bound EV from Toyota's Lexus luxury brand is a crossover, due in 2022 and likely with more range and performance than the Toyota bZ4X.

After years of dismissing plug-ins, Lexus has a PHEV NX crossover in the works.

The Toyota luxury brand is treading cautiously into plug-in vehicles, but it will soon have both an electric vehicle and a plug-in hybrid for the U.S. market.

By 2025, Lexus will introduce 20 new vehicles encompassing hybrids, plug-in hybrids, battery-electric vehicles, and "other electric vehicles" globally.

A dual-motor, all-wheel-drive system called DIRECT4 aims for sportier driving dynamics and could propel both hybrids and EVs later this decade.

Switching from nickel-metal hydride to lithium-ion helps add trunk space and improve handling, Lexus says.
