MODEL 01. 3.5-LITRE PETROL ENGINE Comprising a 3.5-litre V6 Atkinson Cycle petrol engine and two high output electric motors, Lexus Hybrid Drive on the new RX 450h Self-Charging Hybrid offers great performance yet is kind to the environment, with combined CO2 emissions from just 132 g/km* and fuel consumption from 5.8 l/100 km*. When braking or decelerating, kinetic energy is captured by the two electric motors and converted into electric power. This is stored in the compact hybrid battery (located under the rear seat) for later use when driving in Electric Vehicle mode or accelerating swiftly. * For the Executive grade. Figures displayed are the co-related NEDC (New European Driving Cycle) data for RX tested under the new WLTP (World harmonised Light Vehicle Test Procedure) test cycle. 02. HYBRID BATTERY Featuring an innovative split design, and located under the rear seat so as not to encroach on luggage space, the hybrid battery provides high power output in relation to its weight. The new RX 450h recharges its hybrid battery as required – using electricity generated when driving and braking – and thus never needs plugging in. 03. LEXUS HYBRID DRIVE No larger than a conventional automatic transmission, the RX 450h’s front 123 kW electric motor, generator and power split mechanism are all housed in one highly compact hybrid transmission. Energy flows are managed by an advanced Power Control Unit which constantly optimises the allocation of power – electric, petrol or a combination of both. On new RX 450h models, the innovative E-FOUR drivetrain features an additional 50 kW electric motor mounted on the rear axle, which provides instant torque on demand. RX 05
