Overview & Reviews

Lexus introduced the hybrid-powered sibling to the RX 330 last year, so for 2007 there are only minor changes to the vehicle's list of standard and optional features. In order to appeal to a wider audience, the base 400h now comes with a cloth interior, and former standard (and pricey) features like leather seats and a power moonroof are now offered as options instead.

• Advanced hybrid technology, smooth ride, seamless acceleration, elegant interior, significant improvement in fuel economy.

• Hefty price, noticeable engine noise, no third-row seating.

  Moved down from Expedition - 2007 Lexus RX 400H
  By dgb - January 26 - 7:06 am

  I bought my RX 400h after much research and thought. Lexus name plate puts some back (you bought a Lexus??) but the hybrid part really perks up ears. I even got a statement "you never seemed like the hybrid type!" Mileage is good, fun to watch the gauge, wish it had backup alarm, camera is good. Prev issues have been addressed: nav is outstanding (not grainy), SAT is now available, discrete word Hybrid on side says enough. Power is amazing when you need it. Friends all want a ride, never had that in any other car. Takes a bit of getting used to wind down at stops, and lack of motor noise at start up, but not a problem. A/C keeps going even with gas motor off. Great car.

  Dont buy nav system - 2007 Lexus RX 400H
  By careful - October 24 - 6:00 am

  This is a great car, but dont bother buying the nav system. The system is virtually disabled when the car is moving. You cannot input anything into the system unless you pull over and stop the vehicle. This bug makes the system almost useless. Buy a portable Garmin unit instead, it will save you money and frustration!

  Extraordinary Engineering - 2007 Lexus RX 400H
  By RAC - June 22 - 6:26 pm

  We needed more cargo space in our vehicles but didnt want a gas guzzling SUV. The Lexus has proved to be a wonderful solution - we have plenty of cargo space inside and on the roof and the hybrid system, while taking some time to get used to, has been just terrific. The ride is smooth and quiet - the hybrid drive works flawlessly and is a wonder to watch on the monitor and there is more than enough power when you need it. The entire vehicle is beautifully built, roomy and very well equipped. The navigation system is a bit daunting at first, but use the quick guide - youll be fine. Mileage is getting there - when broken in we think it will be just about at published levels. Fantastic!

  Great car - 2007 Lexus RX 400H
  By Rx - September 3 - 7:33 am

  The 400h has great acceleration. It is a well built car and very comfortable. Average gas mileage is 28 MPG, therefore consistent with other reviews. The navigation system is the worst part of the package. Acura has an excellent navigation system.

  Poor Gas Mileage - 2007 Lexus RX 400H
  By David - May 20 - 5:50 am

  We purchased this vehicle solely for the gas mileage that was claimed on the sticker and what the dealer said it would actually get. We were very disappointed when it got 35-40% less then what they claimed. Around the city the best we were able to achieve was 19.6 mpg when the sticker and dealer claimed it would get 31 mpg or better. We even had a factory rep from Lexus drive the car and he could not get it over 20 mpg. This car is terrible! Lexus would not stand behind it and told us that there was nothing they would do. We lost 13k selling it back to the dealer.

  Great car - 2007 Lexus RX 400H

  Especially for mountain driving this car is high performance. I like the low emission which helps the environment and increases the pleasure of driving this car.

  I would buy it again. - 2007 Lexus RX 400H
  By Alex Azev - December 17 - 8:06 pm

  Great SUV, best ride ever. Could have more room between the front seats. Good gas mileage, not as expected but good enough. Ive been driving it since February/06 and cant get over how quiet it is. Im never tired of driving this car.

  Awesome Vehicle! - 2007 Lexus RX 400H
  By Rockville1 - June 6 - 1:43 pm

  I love everything about this car. And by the way, I’m 5’11” and there is plenty of leg and head room for both front & rear passengers. I have been very impressed with how quiet the vehicle is, how easy it is to drive (parking is a breeze!), and how quickly & smoothly the car accelerates! I have been averaging 29.5 since temps have risen above 60. In the winter, I was averaging 25.0. On the highway you will get your best mileage if you keep the car at 65 (or less). Mileage drops a bit once you start cruising at 70 or above. Note that this car is designed for optimal performance and not optimal fuel economy. Dont buy if your main goal is to save money on gas.

  Excellent all around vehicle - 2007 Lexus RX 400H
  By dorenescar - August 14 - 7:20 am

  Our 400h has truly exceeded all of our expectations. We are getting an average of 28 mpg with mixed driving on streets and freeways (mainly streets). The road feel is extraordinary. It feels like we are floating on air, the brakes and steering are tight and efficient and its the quietest car weve ever driven. The back seat reclining is a brilliant idea for making the back feel spacious. The vehicle takes hills with ease, and seems effortless in daily driving. The only downside is the navigation system, which is cumbersome, difficult to program, and works only in an off or no movement position. Otherwise, we recommend this to anyone for an exceptional ride and drive experience.
