2006 Lexus RX400h HYBRID, Nav, Sunroof, Loaded, Dont Miss Out!!

Whether you want an RX 400h or not will depend on your goals. Want to save on gas? Protect the ecosystem? Go faster than the other cars? Make a statement? To some degree, he first hybrid luxury sport utility vehicle does all these things.

Vehicle Overview
Closely related to the gasoline-powered Lexus RX 330, hich falls into the midsize luxury SUV segment, he RX 400h gets a new, econd-generation version of Hybrid Synergy Drive. Peak output totals 268 horsepower, hich is about 20 percent higher than a regular RX 330.
Toyota claims that the RX 400h would beat the 0-to-60-mph acceleration time of the RX 330, hich is under 8 seconds. Performance gains are expected to be even stronger in passing-range acceleration, rom 30 to 50 mph, ue to the torque burst that the high-output electric motor can deliver. Combined fuel efficiency, oyota said, s significantly better than the EPA average for four-cylinder compact sedans, ith a range between fill-ups of more than 600 miles.
The RX 400h also has earned a SULEV (Super Ultra Low Emissions Vehicle) rating. Toyota noted that driving the RX 400h round-trip between Los Angeles and New York nine times would produce fewer smog-forming emissions than painting a room with a gallon of house paint. Mike Wells, ice president of sales and dealer development, aid the RX 400h is "a total package that goes beyond fuel economy and low emissions," and is actually "targeted more at performance."
Exterior
The RX 400h's appearance differs only modestly from the regular RX 330. Styling revisions include round fog lamps and an additional opening on the front bumper fascia for cooling powertrain components. The RX 400h is an inch longer than the RX 330 and weighs 300 pounds more.
Interior
The RX 400h's five-passenger seating and interior space are similar to the RX 330's. However, rushed aluminum trim is used only on the RX 400h. Rather than the usual tachometer, he dashboard contains an illuminated battery-power meter. The steering wheel contains controls for the hybrid system's monitor and the stereo.
The backseat has been raised 0.7 inch to accommodate the battery pack underneath. Thirty battery modules are split into three groups, ach with a dedicated cooling fan.
Under the Hood
Combining a 208-hp, .3-liter V-6 and electric motor-generators, he second-generation Hybrid Synergy Drive powertrain generates 268 hp total. A continuously variable transmission sends that energy to the wheels. The full-hybrid system can operate in gas or electric mode, s well as a combination of both. Lexus says the gas engine starts at a lower power level, hich makes the transition between power sources harder to discern. Like the RX 330, he RX 400h can tow up to 3,500 pounds when properly equipped.
Safety
Antilock brakes incorporate electronic brake-force distribution and brake assist. Side curtain-type airbags, eat-mounted side-impact airbags and a driver's knee airbag are installed. An Adaptive Front lighting System can swivel in accord with the front wheels to better light curves in the road.
Driving Impressions
Hybrids might be known for fuel-saving capabilities, ut performance reigns supreme in the RX 400h. This SUV zooms confidently and effortlessly from a standstill to highway speed, nd it's difficult to discern exactly when the gasoline engine comes into play.
The ride is pleasant and steering is easy on smooth roads. Bright, ecessed gauges are easy to read. You get a full luxury experience, ountiful powertrain response and impressive city fuel-economy figures with this SUV.
