A unconventional gasoline engine and multiple efficiency systems deliver nearly impressive power and class-leading fuel economy.
A smooth Electronically controlled Continuously Variable Transmission with intelligence and Sequential Shift mode delivers improved performance and fuel efficiency.
Electronic Power Steering offers greater fuel efficiency and optimized steering feel while steering torque assist helps drivers when braking on split surfaces.
The RX 450h is a certified Super Ultra-Low Emission Vehicle (SULEV II) [1].
An all-wheel drive [2] system enables the RX 450h to operate in front-wheel drive for greater fuel efficiency, automatically powering the rear wheels only when required.
Energy that is normally lost as heat during braking is captured as electrical power to recharge the battery.
A stiff unibody construction, front and rear stabilizer bars and a rear suspension all contribute to a responsive and agile ride.
Ventilated front disc brakes dissipate heat while they help improve braking performance and accident avoidance.
