Lexus RX400h petrol-electric hybrid




Stand 08


The RX400h is the UK’s only hybrid 4x4, a high-performance luxury SUV with lower emissions and increased fuel efficiency through Lexus Hybrid Synergy Drive, with 268bhp, 0-62mph in 7.6 seconds, combined mpg of 34.9 and CO2 of 192g/km.

The RX400h has a petrol engine and two electric motors, one for the front wheels and one for the rear, providing four-wheel-drive; at cruising speeds the RX400h operates in two-wheel-drive for optimum economy.

Refinement is up to the usual Lexus standards with the cabin remaining whisper quiet at all speeds. The hybrid uses a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) which ensures smooth progress.

The Lexus achieves lower CO2 emissions than diesel rivals, especially when it comes to the regulated emissions that lead to poor local air quality.
