Frequently Asked
Questions
Q: How should I choose between an RX 350 and an RX 400h hybrid?
A: If most of your driving is highway cruising or you leave your vehicle parked for
several weeks at a time, the RX 350 may best meet your needs. If most of
your driving is stop-and-go city and you want improved acceleration and fuel
economy, the RX 400h may best meet your needs.
Q: What changes to the interior of the RX 350 were required to
accommodate the hybrid system of the RX 400h?
A: The rear seat is raised slightly (about one inch) and the tool storage
compartment is shallower to make room for hybrid system components.
The rear cargo area is the same size.
Q: What is the warranty on the RX 400h? What is the warranty on the
hybrid battery?
A: In addition to the Basic Warranty of 48-month/50,000 miles and the
powertrain and restraint system coverage of 72 months/70,000 miles,
there is a hybrid warranty. The Hybrid Vehicle System Warranty is 96 months
(8 years)/100,000 miles from the vehicle’s in-service date, whichever occurs
first. It is applicable to certain components of the hybrid electronic control
system and the hybrid battery. See the
Owner's Manual
and other owner
information materials in the vehicle for details.
Q: Does the RX 400h qualify for the single-occupant vehicle in the high
occupancy vehicle (HOV) lane?
A: We do not expect the RX 400h to qualify for the HOV lane.
Check with your state department of motor vehicles for more information.
