Interesting to see that Lexus chose NiMH for the Hybrid battery of a brand new Hybrid SUV instead of Lithium-ion like the new Toyota Prius do which seem to be more responsive than NiMH.
Heat. NIMH batteries are less concerned with heat management when compared with Li-ON batteries. Lexus probably prioritizes power extraction from the cell over weight.
I agree! I'm installing the M20A-FXS into my Prius currently and the rear AWD from the UX 250h will be powered by using a can bus controlled rear electric motor. I'm going to have to use the Prius PRIME battery in my 13 Plugin, its the only newer battery that Lithium-ION like my current battery and I figured I'd use the Rav-4 PRIME battery for more range! Nope wont work and none other than Prius PRIME being Lithium-ion with more than 350v in the line up from what I can tell.
The innovative hybrid powertrain at the heart of the RX 500h F Sport Performance consists of a new, turbocharged 2.4-litre petrol engine, front electric motor, six-speed automatic transmission, and a separate, high-output rear electric eAxle for precise all-wheel drive control.

Any information on MPG for the 500H and the 450H plug in?

@@lexusuk planned on picking up the 500h but the MPG for the 450H is a bit too appealing and I can get it in the F sport trim.
Hi there. We expect the F Sport trim will only be available in the RX500h.
@@lexusuk is that UK specific? I saw a few photos of a 350H with f sport trim on the Lexus website.
Yes, that is for the UK market. Other markets may differ.
OMG When can I buy one
