Discerning car shoppers often think that the term hybrid SUV is an oxymoron. These shoppers will be amazed to find out that the Lexus RX400h provides the same features of other mid-sized SUVs without the expensive trips to the gas station. The RX400h employs an electrical power system for the vehicle's engine as it decelerates or comes to a full stop. This combination of gasoline and electricity lets you get a solid 31 miles per gallon in the city and 27 miles per gallon when you get out on the open highway.
In addition to its hybrid fuel system, the Lexus RX400h outperforms other SUVs in its class under the hood. The 3.3 liter V6 engine accelerates to 268 horsepower on demand, letting you move up hills and down into valleys with ease. The continuously variable transmission (CVT) that is standard with the RX400h lets you worry about your destination instead of shifting as you accelerate and slow down.
