Among the 9 D-SUV plug-in hybrid, the NX 450h+ AWD combines two vehicles in one: an electric sedan for urban use (in the bottom third), a petrol tourer for long distances. Caralogy puts the NX 450h+ AWD through its paces: motorway simulation, consumption simulation and performance simulation.

Caralogy Analysis

Tailored to this vehicle?

Caralogy Verdict
Suitable for

Home-to-office commute up to 60 km in pure electric. Overnight charging is sufficient.

Less suitable for

Regular long motorway trips. Beyond the 76 km EV range, the car runs on pure combustion. On trips >300 km weekly, a BEV or HEV would be more relevant.

Alternatives to consider

If the priority is Electric WLTP range, the Volkswagen Tiguan eHybrid 204 (1st with 100 km) takes the lead. If the priority is Combined range, the Volkswagen Tiguan eHybrid 204 (1st with 918 km) takes the lead.

In the city: 76 km pure electric (in the bottom third)

With a full battery, the NX 450h+ AWD drives in pure electric mode for the first 76 km WLTP — placing it 7th of 9 in Electric WLTP range, behind the Volkswagen Tiguan eHybrid 204 (100 km). In urban and peri-urban use, the NX 450h+ AWD behaves like a pure electric sedan in its segment.
