Lexus officially introduced it's hybrid sport-utility vehicle at the Detroit Auto show in January 2004. The RX 400h, based on the popular RX 330, will also utilize Toyota's revolutionary Hybrid Synergy Drive, and is expected to hit dealerships in about April 15, 2005.

According to Toyota, the Lexus hybrid is receiving incredible interest, including almost 10,000 confirmed orders, 8,000 buyers on waiting lists, and many more web inquiries

This second-generation Drive will generate up to 270 horsepower with front and rear electric motors combined with a front mounted, 3.3 liter V6 internal combustion engine.

This combination will create the power and torque of a V8 and deliver the fuel mileage of a compact car, offering a driving range of more than 600 miles on one tank of gasoline. Equally important, this will happen while producing just a fraction of the emissions of standard SUV's.

"The Rx 400h with Hybrid Synergy Drive has a V-6 engine with the power and torque of a V-8 and delivers the fuel mileage of a compact car, while producing a fraction of the emissions of standard SUVs," according to Toyota President Fujio Cho. 

The Lexus hybrid will require double the battery voltage to power its all-wheel-drive system via front and rear electric drive motors.

According to Lexus, it will be "A luxurious, stylish, innovative vehicle that appeals to the senses. A vehicle that allows the words "elegant" and "environmentally sound" to sit comfortably within the same sentence. A vehicle that out-performs most gas-powered cars."
