Leading the world since 2005 as the only manufacturer to offer luxury hybrid vehicles, Lexus marks another world first with the introduction of the RX 450h. With a 3.5 litre VVT-i V6 engine employing the Atkinson, or high expansion, Cycle to optimise efficiency, the Lexus luxury SUV takes another great leap forward. The petrol-electric hybrid will use just 6.4 litres (combined figure) of fuel per 100 kilometres* and emit just 150 grams of CO2 – a figure never before achieved in any SUV in Australia. By setting a new benchmark for economy in SUVs, the RX 450h is Australia’s greenest SUV. The sleek, contemporary design immediately captivates while inside exquisite craftsmanship combines with advanced technology for an effortless and highly pleasurable driving experience. Lexus Australia is pleased to announce that the HV (Hybrid) Battery Warranty coverage on Lexus Hybrid vehicles has been extended from 5 years / 100,000 kilometres to 8 years / 160,000 kilometres (whichever occurs first) commencing with the new model RX450h on sale from July 2009. This extended warranty coverage will also apply retrospectively to all Lexus Hybrid vehicles sold by Lexus Australia since introduction in 2006. Owners should contact their Lexus Dealer to activate this retrospective warranty. * Fuel consumption will vary depending on driving conditions/style, vehicle conditions and options/accessories.
