Lexus RX 400h Hybrid SUV most popular Lexus ever
The new Lexus RX 400h--their upcoming hybrid SUV--already has 9000 pre-orders, making it the most popular new Lexus ever.
Of course, to benefit from proposed carpool land incentives for hybrids, a vehicle would have to get more than 45 mpg, which means RX 400h owners will be sitting in traffic with the rest of us
Lexus said preliminary specs for the 400h include:
- 270 horsepower.
- Mileage "significantly better" than the 28 mpg that an average compact sedan gets.
- New pollution controls.
"You can drive the 400h from Los Angeles to New York and back nine times and produce less smog-forming emissions than painting a room in your house," Toyota Vice President Irv Miller told industry analysts earlier this year.
