All 2010 Lexus RX 450h models feature an all-new Lexus Hybrid Drive built around a larger, more powerful, yet more efficient 3.5L V6 Atkinson Cycle engine coupled to high torque electric motors and a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT). The result is a gain 10 % in horsepower - up to 295 HP - and a 16% improvement in combined city/highway fuel efficiency. New technologies include a Cooled Exhaust Gas Recirculation System (EGR) which improves fuel efficiency and reduces smog-forming emissions, and an Exhaust Heat Recovery System (EHR), which improves efficiency in cold-starting conditions. A new EV mode switch that enables the RX hybrid to be driven short distances in electric-only mode, plus all-wheel-drive AWD, Hybrid SNOW mode, sequential shift capabilities, plus a full suite of handling and safety technologies such as the state of the art Lexus Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management system (VDIM), Lexus hybrid regenerative braking system, and Lexus Electronically Controlled Hydraulic Braking system.
