Lexus RX 450h CVT 299

The Lexus RX 450h CVT 299 reaches 60 mph in 6.97 s (100 km/h in 7.46 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 15.50 s, tripping the lights at 87.1 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.32 s and the eighth mile in 9.86 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

About the RX 450h CVT 299

The 2008 Lexus RX 450h CVT 299 is an all-wheel-drive naturally aspirated SUV of 2,110 kg with 245 bhp, which works out at 116 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 2.32 s, which is where a four-wheel-drive car takes its margin out of a rear-drive one with the same power. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 4,583rd quickest to 60 mph, and the 68th quickest of the 112 Lexuss here. It leaves better than it pulls: 87.1 mph at the lights is only the 6,337th highest here, so its 0-60 flatters what it does further out. The simulation is trimmed to 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Lexus RX 450h CVT 299 0-60 time?
The Lexus RX 450h CVT 299 reaches 60 mph in 6.97 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 4,583rd quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Lexus RX 450h CVT 299 quarter mile time?
15.50 s at 87.1 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.86 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.32 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Lexus RX 450h CVT 299 have?
245 bhp and 2,110 kg, which is 116 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-drive, naturally aspirated, with 1 gears and a quoted top speed of 200 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Lexus RX 450h CVT 299?
Closest here on pace: Kia e-Niro 64 kWh (6.99 s), Mercedes-Benz V-Class V 300d 239 (7.03 s), BMW X1 xDrive20i 184 (7.01 s). Each one can be raced against the Lexus RX 450h CVT 299 in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Lexus RX 450h CVT 299 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 2 of its 2 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Figures regenerated 2026-10-12. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
