The hybrid powertrain, which is the next generation Toyota's Hybrid Synergy Drive, combines the RX 330's 3.3-liter V6 engine with a high-torque electric-drive motor-generator, and a rear electric-drive motor-generator for all-wheel drive. The powertrain is rated at a combined horsepower of 268. According to Lexus, the 2005 RX 400h accelerates from 0-60 in 7.3 seconds.
Also new for the RX 400h is VDIM, which according to Lexus anticipates vehicle instability in virtually any direction and makes stabilizing corrections while allowing higher dynamic capability.
