Cars may be slower or faster, but only one car can sail as if it is floating on water; we are talking about Lexus RX 450h. This car is meant for everyone. It also happens to be the only SUV doing great in the market, and hence it is still under production. Those of us who want to buy eco-friendly cars have the best chance to buy this car. It is designed to attract shopaholics as well.
The inspiring combination of gas and electric power gives the Lexus RX 450h fuel economy of 28mpg city, and 26mpg highway, which is around 10% better than the last RX hybrid. It even compares well to the gas-only RX 350s 18mpg city. Moreover, there are different modes available owing to new computer controls. Even a driver selectable mode is also present that is electric only. This means that the car will be powered with the energy that has been stored in the metal hydride batteries.
The Remote Touch mouse-like controller snuggles in the hands perfectly. It is used to operate the main display screen of the car. A lot of hard work and expertise has resulted in the making of a superior car like this. Its satellite navigation system, cargo capacity, and the raw materials are simply superb.
Currently, its two versions are available in the market: front wheel drive, and all wheel drive. To suit the requirements of buyers, different packages are offers. The buyers can actually customise their Lexus, if they wish to.
One can exchange the regular 18-inch wheel with a 19-inch wheel, in the sports package. One can get leather seats, a sunroof, and tailgates in the premium package. The luxury package gives exclusive seating, 19-inch wheels, leather or wood bound steering wheels. One can also get extendable front seat cushions, and the side monitoring system in the luxury package.
Along with this, extendable front seat cushions and the side monitoring system is also provided. It is up to the client if he wishes to merge the navigation package with the premium package. This way, the client can get real time traffic reports, better speakers, Bluetooth facility, and a back up camera. Other individual packages are also available upon demand.
Lexus RX 450h is fitted with the twelve-speaker Mark Levinson stereo system, which is an ultimate feature. A DVD player can be installed in the rear seat entertainment system. The additional features are dual zone climate control, ventilated front seats, and remote controlled start. Moreover, it has parking assistant, the pre-collision system, the dual screen entertainment system, and the LED highlights.
Lexus RX 450h is in no way less secure than other cars. It is incorporated with the highest safety features. It has 10 air bags- two for the rear seat, customary anti lock brakes, stability, and traction control, and a hill holder feature. It has the most effective pre-collision system that detects an unavoidable crash. It automatically fastens the seatbelts, and applies brakes well in advance of the impending impact.
