In the recent days, it is views as a symbol of flaunt, and elegance. The market of Lexus stretches over 70 countries, the consumers of which purchase it with satisfaction and honour.

It was the year 2005, which marks the release of the Lexus RX hybrid. It was first launched in 2004, and it earned the caption of being the first hybrid car.

The Lexus RX hybrid was announced as the first generation RX. In the initial months of the year 2005, this care was to be sold only is the loci of United States. The first generation class includes all models premiered in between the years 2005 to 2008, and are termed as RX 400 hybrid. The comparison of prices clearly showed that people at a much higher price than the actual RX model purchased the Hybrid cars. However, the company lowered the prices as time followed. The RX 450 Hybrid is the latest car of this series. It was premiered in 2008, but as a model for 2010.

The RX Hybrid has a dual engine system. One is the traditional gasoline engine powered by fuel. Two electric engines, one for the front wheels and the other for the rear wheels, support this engine. This combination is known as the Lexus Hybrid Drive. Under normal driving conditions, the gasoline engine, and the front electric engine are utilised. When the car is being driven at slow speeds, it runs fully on electricity. In this way, it provides better fuel economy, and an eco friendly drive.

A myth exists, which states that hybrid cars do not do well on the roads. This myth is broken by the records, which state that the car only takes eight seconds to accelerate, and goes to 60 miles in an hour. When compared, these records showed that it was faster than the original RX that merely runs on gasoline. This proves that the Hybrid cars measure up to good functionality.

The new RX450H model comes under the classification of the second-generation model. Its recognition is developed because of its outstanding attributes. Records show that this car has a 10 percent increment in power, and a 23 percent increment is duel economy. To augment the efficiency of RX 450H, it has been added with Atkinson cycle, which ensures lesser fuel consumption. The car also stands out, because of its two amazing features.

To decrease the engine warm up span, and to decrease fuel consumption, the car is equipped with an exhaust heat regaining system, and a cooled exhaust gas-recirculation system respectively. Besides the normal driving option is it equipped with two more choices: first the Eco mode, and second EV mode. In the EV mode, the car completely runs on electricity, while in the Eco mode, it takes fuel efficiency to the maximum levels.

This is a perfect car for people who care about the environment, and want to compromise on their driving experience. - 21396
