The rear is more squared and cornered then the previous model, but the shape of the trapezoidal headlights helps make the line more slender. There are some changes that even more evident: the inclination of the pavilion and new lines of side windows make the RX 450h a cleaner version.
There are more news under the hood: the heat propeller, a 3.5 petrol V6 now develops 295 hourse powers, that make it 27 more than the previous model. Among the innovations there are also two energy recovery systems that act on the start & stop and the exhaust recirculation. The non-hybrid version, the RX 350, has the same V6, paired with a sequential six-speed transmission. The first data on consumption of 450h speak of an average of 14.8 kilometers per liter with CO2 emissions equal to 192 g / km.
The RX450h is available in both two-wheel drive and all-wheel drive versions. Most all-wheel drive vehicles compromise the efficiency due to Extra weight from mechanical components. Lexus addresses this problem by providing regenerative capacity of all four wheels. The result is a more efficient process to resume power.
