  2006 Lexus RX Description
The Lexus RX 330 was redesigned and introduced as an all-new model for 2004.
The RX 330's shape is sharply defined by radically raked, body-colored pillars at all four corners of its cabin, with the window frames and posts fled out to blend in with ovoid side-window opening.
The RX 330's raked-back front fascia and headlamps are reminiscent of the Lexus ES 330 sedan.

The RX 400h will be powered by a V6 Hybrid Synergy Drive system that combines sub-eight second zero-to-sixty acceleration with fuel-efficiency equivalent to the current average for a four-cylinder compact sedan.
The system is a "full hybrid," meaning that the RX 400h is capable of operating in separate gas or electric modes, as well as a mode that combines power from both.
Nearly every feature available in the RX 330 is found in the RX 400h, with the exception of an exclusive RX 400h use of brushed aluminum accents inside that convey a high-tech look and feel to match its capabilities.

The 2005 Lexus RX 400h will share the same Hybrid Synergy Drive technology as the 2005 Toyota Highlander Hybrid and the new for '04 Toyota Prius but in a package slathered in leather and wood trim.

Lexus doesn't think the affluent hybrid buyer wants to announce in a loud voice that they are green, so this new model won't resemble a jacked-up Prius.

The RX 400h is what is referred to in the industry as a "full hybrid," meaning its gas and electric power systems can function independently of each other, or together, depending on a number of operational factors.
There's little doubt that Lexus engineers burned the midnight oil when designing the sophisticated hybrid system powering the RX 400h, which is impressive in itself, but unless the vehicle meets the performance expectations of Lexus owners, the oil may have been wasted.
The RX 400h also improves driver visibility with the use of water-repelling door glass, which, according to Lexus, inhibits the build-up of grime and salt spray on the side windows during foul weather.

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.
Unlike battery-powered EVs, vehicles like the RX 400h (and the current Prius) are "non-plug-in electrics," meaning that they use their internal combustion engines to recharge the battery pack.
The 3.3-liter V6 engine found in the RX 330 is mated with Toyota's sophisticated second generation hybrid powertrain in the RX 400h.

The RX 330 is powered by the same 3.3-liter V6 that powers Toyota's Camry, as well as a host of other vehicles in the Lexus/Toyota family.
The RX feels safe and stable when driven briskly, with adequate reserves of grip, but its attitude is not one of eagerness.
The RX's body motions are generally well-controlled, but the suspension bobbles a bit in the first few centimeters of its travel, and there's still a hint of body rattle over the bumps.
