Lexus will take its advanced
hybrid power technology to a
higher level in 2009 with the
launch of the new RX 450h. The
luxury all-wheel drive model
made its world debut today at
the Los Angeles Auto Show, ahead
of going on sale in Europe next
summer.
In
the UK the new-generation RX
will be an all-hybrid range,
with the RX 450h replacing both
the current RX 400h hybrid and
RX 350 petrol engine models.
Lexus was the first and remains
the only manufacturer to offer
hybrid models in the segment in
Europe, now presenting its
second generation model before
its rivals manage to bring their
first hybrid contenders to the
showroom.
Further details about the new
Lexus RX 450h will be announced
early next year.
The current RX 400h already
addresses the prime concerns of
today’s motorists, applying
advanced technology to deliver
high performance and whisper
quiet refinement, combined with
excellent fuel and emissions
efficiency.
Priced from £36,273 and
available from Lexus Centres
across the UK, the RX 400h gives
great fuel consumption (34.9mpg
combined cycle) and carbon
dioxide emissions (192g/km) that
earn a low tax rating. It all
adds up to make the RX 400h as
cost efficient to own and run as
a smaller family car. |
