Lexus is about to change consumer perceptions about hybrid gasoline-electric vehicles with the introduction of its RX 400h, the HEV version of the popular RX 330. Hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) typically feature a gasoline or diesel internal combustion (IC) engine that is paired with at least one electric motor and a battery pack. In the RX 400h's case the IC engine and/or electric motor can then be used to power the wheels.
