Engine Specs and Charging Time

The 2025 Lexus RX Plug-In Hybrid is powered by a 2.5 Litre 4-cylinder DOHC 16-Valve engine and two ion batteries so that it can manage 304 horsepower. In comparison, the 2025 Alfa Romeo Tonale PHEV has a hybrid engine capable of 285 horsepower, making them pretty evenly matched.

 

The total charging time for all electric vehicles, though, depends on what type of charger you use. A Level 1 charger such as a standard household outlet can be used, but a Level 2 charger like those found at most public charging stations and available for home purchase. For example, the 2025 Lexus RX Plug-In Hybrid takes around 10 hours to fully charge on a Level 1 charger, but can get up to 100% charged on a Level 2 charger in around 2.5 hours. The 2025 Alfa Romeo Tonale PHEV, on the other hand, can fully charge in about 8 hours using a Level 1 charger, and takes only 2.5 hours on a Level 2 charger.

Price Point

While both are considered luxury vehicles, there is a noticeable difference in the starting price point for both. The 2025 Lexus RX Plug-In Hybrid starts at $91,184.08, while the 2025 Alfa Romeo Tonale PHEV starts at $50,790.00. Considering how neck and neck the two PHEV SUVs are when it comes to their engine performance and charging times, this makes for an easy choice when you can buy nearly two of the one for the price of one of the other.

Verdict

Both the 2025 Lexus RX Plug-In Hybrid and the 2025 Alfa Romeo Tonale PHEV are great luxury PHEV SUVs, with both luxury and technology galore inside. Their engine performances and charging times may be similar, but with the price being so much easier on the wallet for the 2025 Alfa Romeo Tonale PHEV, the better choice is clear.
