Lexus RX 400h - Luxury Hybrid Engines

Cars Mania Blog

Auto Car | Lexus RX 400h - Luxury Hybrid Engines | There are several luxury hybrid engines, but the Lexus RX 400h is very popular. The Lexus RX contains two engines; one is gasoline and other is electric, which combine separate functions according to the drivers needs. In front, the electric motor works optimally under very normal conditions for driving, and in the rear the electric motor kicks when you put the pedal to the metal in full acceleration.



When you drive your vehicle in slow speeds the gasoline engine switches off. The speed of Lexus RX 400 h with high end vehicle technology can easily reach approx 60 miles/hour in just 8 seconds. The Lexus can also do it with it’s electric motor too. The top speed of Lexus RX can reach up to 125 miles per hour. They have very silent engines and drivers wonder if their vehicle is even running.


Exterior

The Lexus RX 400h is a mid-sized crossover that is nearly identical to the popular Lexus RX350 utility.

Interior

The Lexus RX 400h five-seater cabin is luxurious, sleek, and virtually indistinguishable from the gasoline-powered Lexus RX 350′s interior. Rear-seat passengers are treated to generous amounts of legroom and headroom. Surprisingly, the Lexus RX 400h does not offer an available third row seat, a popular option among many mid- to large crossovers and utilities—an option that is available with the Toyota Highlander Hybrid.

Standard equipment includes 10-way power front seats, sliding and reclining second-row seats, dual-zone climate control, steering wheel controls, and an eight-speaker audio system with an in-dash six-CD changer. Safety equipment for the Lexus RX 400h is spearheaded by seven standard airbags: dual front airbags, front side airbags, a driver knee airbag, and two-row head curtain side airbags with rollover detection.
