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.

Great ride in 07 RX 400h - dead battery - 2007 Lexus RX 400H
By 07RX400h - March 2 - 8:56 pmI just picked up my 07 RX 400h on 9/11. Im still trying to get used to no engine starting when I turn the key. Very quiet and smooth ride. Fuel economy is avg. around 24-25 mpg over the first 100 miles (about 50/50 hwy/city) -- I have a little bit of a foot, but have been going pretty gentle on the pedal. I have made a couple of individual 5-10 mile trips in city with up to 32 mpg. Im happy with 25 mpg compared to my Lin. Nav at 10 mpg. Had an issue this morning with a dead ICE battery. Lexus sent out AAA who didnt know squat about hybrids, so I ended up reading the owners manual to the tow truck driver. A quick jump start and everything was fine -- I hope.

Just an Awesome Vehicle - 2007 Lexus RX 400H
By pm - February 1 - 11:20 amOK - I was a skeptic going into this hybrid stuff but today we turned 2,000 miles on our RX (bought the first week of June) and Im now a convert!! Were averaging right at 28 mpg with mixed driving. One concern I had was how well the a/c would be and maybe overheating. Not to worry - car spent a week in the Indian Wells/Palm Springs area in 115 heat and it did a terrific job. The nav system is excellent but it takes a little time and patience to get the hang of it. The hands free bluetooth phone tie-in is superb. One quirky thing? I have noticed a little "surging" in freeway driving when using cruise control - not sure whether or not its the car or the road yet

Superb Vehicle - 2007 Lexus RX 400H
By Amy Smith - August 23 - 6:13 pmI was determined to buy a hybrid this year -- one that would last until the market would be open wider in terms of alternative fuels. I currently get about 30 mpg, and this is almost 2-1/2 times my previous vehicle. LOVE IT -- superb. Bravo Toyota.

Love my hybrid - 2007 Lexus RX 400H
By LilXMo - February 20 - 10:00 amI have enjoyed this 2007 RX400h since I purchased it. Ive gotten great wear out of my tires and brakes. In fact, I still have 7/10 on brakes and will replace my original tires this month after 66,500 miles of city and highway driving. I feel safe and this vehicle is reliable. When I wear this vehicle out, Ill definitely purchase another Lexus SUV hybrid!

Exceeds expectations - great mileage, reliability, luxury - 2007 Lexus RX 400H
By alyssaszoo - January 15 - 5:40 amOur first hybrid and first SUV; had it 7 years (+105k miles), in both city and rural areas (dirt roads). Our 400h performs consistently well, even in blizzards and icy/snowy conditions in hilly New England winters. Super comfortable - Im 55" (and been pregnant twice with this car), hubby is 6 - we both love it. Low maintenance - our only major expenses (besides one new set of tires) have been replacing the battery and brakes. Note to new parents: larger, rear-facing car seats fit best on the passenger side to give taller drivers enough legroom (I fit; hubby doesnt). By far the best SUV Ive ever driven - and the hybrid/gas mileage factor is the icing on the cake!
