2011 Lexus RX 450h

This new model offers a wide range of improvements over the previous 2010 model. With gas mileage becoming a growing concern, Lexus has taken a few extra steps to make your car go the extra mile. The first addition is the exhaust-heat recovery system. In essence, this system allows an engine to warm up quicker, meaning you use less gas to heat up the car. The benefit of this system is twofold; you have less emissions and you save your fuel. The other improvement is a cooled exhaust-gas system, which limits the losses from engine pumping. The combination of these two systems allows the 2010 Lexus RX 450h to run more efficiently and for longer periods of time.

Now, don’t think that these advancements mean that the car does not have any power behind the wheel. The 3.5 liter 6 cylinder engine is capable of putting out 295horsepower; an increase of over 25 horsepower when compared to last year’s model. Even with this much power behind the engine, the Lexus RX 450h is able to get about 31mpg in the city and 28mpg on the highway.

In terms of suspension, the new RX 450h has a double-wishbone rear suspension that allows the vehicle to maneuver through the toughest terrain. This suspension also allows for more cargo space, letting you take what matters to you. As you can see, the 2011 model is a combination of the latest technology and the best features that Lexus has always been known for.
