2007 Lexus RX 400h Hybrid
June 20th, 2006
The 2007 Lexus RX 400h Hybrid boasts all the advantages of a hybrid gas-electric vehicle: Emissions are extremely low, reducing your impact on the environment. And it burns about as much gas as a compact car, helping to reduce America’s dependence on foreign oil.
But it’s fast. Stomp on the gas and the RX 400h jumps off the line significantly quicker than the regular RX 330. It can go head-to-head with a V8-powered Mercedes ML500.
