RX 400h
Hybrid Technology
A hybrid vehicle is a vehicle that combines power from different
sources to efficiently operate. Lexus has spent many years and
logged millions of test miles developing and testing the hybrid
technology found in the RX 400h.
The Lexus Hybrid Drive system that powers your Lexus RX400h is
an advanced system that incorporates the advantages of both
electric motors and gasoline engines.
The RX 400h can be driven on hybrid battery power alone, for
short distances at lower speeds, then the engine will start when
power is needed to recharge the 12-volt and hybrid batteries, or
when driving conditions call for more power.
Lexus Hybrid Drive automatically controls energy usage in the
most efficient way possible. The system even captures energy when
the vehicle is slowing down.
