Bringing hybrid power to a luxury crossover vehicle, the 2011 Lexus RX 450h has been contradicting what was once the universal acceptance that larger utility vehicles sported heavy fuel consumption. Combining a 3.5 liter V-6 engine with three electric motors, the 2011 RX 450h is smoothly-propelled by 295 horsepower total. Average fuel economy for the Lexus RX 450h front-wheel drive obtains 30 miles per gallon while the all-wheel drive model gives up only 1 mile. Being a luxury crossover, the 2011 Lexus RX 450h is built for ultimate comfort for 5 passengers. Ten-way power front seats, nine speaker Lexus Premium Audio system and Bluetooth connectivity are standard on all 2011 RX 450h models. A Sport package is no longer included on the 2011 RX 450h optional equipment list, but a Luxury Package continues to be available for an extra dose of premium motoring. Added along with an HDD navigation as well as the Premium Package, the 2011 Lexus RX 450h all-wheel model's Luxury Package includes Semi-Aniline leather seating and a wide-view side monitor system.
