Lexus RX 400h

Lexus RX 400h
The new Lexus RX 400h marks a bold and decisive step into the
future of intelligent high-performance motoring.
The Lexus RX 400h resolves an age-old paradox by making
sporting high performance, low fuel consumption and reduced
emissions compatible. It has a 3.3-litre V6 VVT-i petrol
engine and two electric motors that work in harmony to deliver
smooth, V8-style power and responsiveness. Together, they can
whisk the Lexus RX 400h to 62 mph in under 8 seconds.
While the motors play an active role in delivering this power,
they also help to ensure fuel consumption figures and emission
levels you would normally associate with a much smaller
vehicle.
Until now, the union of electric and petrol power has led to
compromise. Bulk and extra weight, for example. No longer.
Through intelligent application of our own carefully developed
hybrid technology the driving experience and practicalities
are everything you'd expect of a Lexus SUV.
The Lexus HSD (Hybrid Synergy Drive) makes sure that power is
sent exactly where it's needed. When you want acceleration,
power from the petrol engine and electric motors is sent to
the wheels. When you're slowing down, the energy produced by
the petrol engine and from vehicle braking is used to recharge
the batteries.
