World's First Entry-Level Midsize Hybrid SUV Hits Showrooms

Do you want a fuel conscious, clean burning gasoline-electric hybrid vehicle, but the reality of kids and an active lifestyle mean that a midsize sport utility is more ideal than the compact models now available? You're hardly alone, which is why Toyota's Lexus division is in the process of launching its new RX 400h SUV, featuring a gasoline-powered 3.3-litre V6 and a high-torque electric drive motor-generator drivetrain that results in an overall output of 268-horsepower for the performance of a V8 with the fuel economy of a 4-cylinder compact car.
