The RX 400h features either front-wheel drive or part-time all-wheel drive, which both utilize the gas and electric power for better acceleration.
These front disc brakes are ventilated to help dissipate heat and improve braking performance.

How does the RX 400h achieve such incredible acceleration yet run so efficiently? Click below for a demonstration.
The Electronically controlled Continuously Variable Transmission (ECVT) efficiently distributes gas and electric power for maximum performance at all speeds.
From the MacPherson strut suspension to Electronic Power Steering, the RX 400h handles as smoothly as a luxury sedan.
Powered by a V6 gas engine and electric-drive motors, the RX 400h produces 268 hp [1] — outperforming many of its V8-equipped competitors.
Energy that is normally lost as heat during braking is captured as electrical power to recharge the battery.
The RX 400h meets the requirements to be classified as a Super Ultra-Low Emission Vehicle (SULEV).
