By Danny Green

Lexus is a luxury car, brand name owned by Toyota, the Japanese automobile manufacturers. These cars are popular for their elegance, sophistication and superb road performance. They are sold all over the world in around seventy countries.

Lexus have many categories, and amongst them, its hybrid Lexus RX is one of the models that are being sold in the International markets from 2005. The first luxury Hybrid car was launched in the world in 2004.

Before Lexus RX Hybrid launch, there have been two (2) variations of Lexus RX Hybrid. The model for first generation was launched in the beginning of 2005, which was available for the buyers in the United States, and its sale was continued till 2008. The RX 400 H was also an element of this series. The RX 450 Hybrid is their latest series and which was first premiered in 2008, but in reality it is a model to be launched in 2010.

The RX 450 H has many features that make it stand apart from the previous models as well as other hybrid cars. Being a hybrid, it has a dual engine system, which is known as the Lexus Hybrid Drive. In this system, there is one traditional gasoline engine powered by fuel, supported by two electric engines. One electric engine is for the front wheels and the other for the rear wheels. On slow speeds, the car can run entirely on electric engine, which provides fuel economy along with an environment friendly drive.

The secret of amazing performance of RX 450 H on the road is its strong and powerful engine. The most impressive quality of this car is its power and acceleration that ranges from zero to sixty miles an hour in 7.2 seconds. It has 234 torque and 295 horsepower, which make it an exciting experience of driving. Its 3.5 litres V6 engine works on the Atkinson cycle for an additional efficiency, as by doing this, it will consume a smaller amount of fuel.

The car comes with a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) that includes a number of modes of driving according to your requirements. The car is available in the Eco Mode and EV Mode drive options both, other than the standard option of drive. In EV mode the car can be driven on just electricity at a particular speed and the Eco mode increases its fuel efficiency. The car provides an incredible economy of fuel when driven in metropolitan areas, and gives a reasonable drive on highways too, with nearly 28 miles per gallon. This mileage is much better than older versions of Lexus.

RX 450 has an extremely impressive interior. The internal features that are very user-friendly include comfortable and padded seats, Bluetooth facility and navigation system. To reduce engine warm-up, there is an exhaust-heat recovery system planted in it, and for fuel economy, the car has a cooled exhaust gas-recirculation system planted in it. The RX 450 H contains remarkable safety system such as, anti-lock brakes, visibility enhancing devices and pre-cooling system, which makes journey safer.

RX 450 is not good for being only eco-friendly but its extra ordinary features make the car and its drive superior to the older versions of the car. - 21392
