2008 Lexus RX 400h AWD Review
ProsWell over 30 mpg around town and power to commandingly turn all four wheels when needed. ConsAs with all Lexus vehicles, could do without the nagging to put seatbelt on. Oh, and why, in an 08' luxury vehicle is there still a cassette player (Who still has any of these around?) and not an mp3 jack? Seriously?

Smooth Economical Luxury Power — .This is our first hybrid and so far, Im impressed. The change from engine to motor power and vice versa, is quite seamless and the visual of it happening on the dash is pretty captivating, intuitively letting you know how the process works. Primary Use: Family transportation

ProsPower, seamless / lossless transmission (CVT), great luxury features, great pricing especially if you hunt for certified pre-owned of 2-4 years. ConsSlightly cramped head room in the back seat due to the battery system under the seat area; less headroom than my '04 RX330 non-hybrid; unfortunate side effect, but only a real issue due to using a child's car seat; would not be an issue if using a booster seat, I believe.

Awesome Power Plant And Acceleration, Awd / Nav / Marc Levinson Premium Is Sweet — All the good of the stock RX330 line, but with better build quality, and the phenomenal CVT transmission. If you've ever used a Polaris 4-wheeler or snow mobile, you know about CVTs, but put it behind a multi-motor (gas/electric) 268HP power plant AND AWD, and you have an amazing power and acceleration band - nearly seamless acceleration from slow to 70 - it will blow away everything non-hot-rod (not the Cayenne Twin Turbo, for example, but then that's also a V8) when you need to get on at a freeway on-ramp. My wife loves it and feels much safer and more assured knowing the power and acceleration are there when needed. To quote the detail on the transmission/engine: "Producing up to 268 horsepower and working through a specialized continuously variable transmission (CVT), Lexus claims the front-drive RX 400h can go from zero to 60 mph in 7.5 seconds and an even quicker 7.3 seconds for all-wheel-drive models." Also, get the integrated video system - run video on both screens (on dash (when stopped / parking break engaged) and overhead at the same time... slick). Primary Use: Family transportation | ||

Great Now, Just Wait Till The 2010 Arrives! — Great acceleration w/ good mileage. Very smooth ride, good utility. Aimable HID lights ROCK. Levinson stereo is OUTSTANDING! Hybrid drive system is very clean - this emits 75% less than a typical sedan, and Lexus hybrids can run up to 40mph completely on electric. | ||
