    You are now my new favourite TH-camr. There are two reasons: you review cars anybody could afford. Second reason is how you present yourself and your videos: no shouting, no excessive loud music, no jump cut fast editing, it's all calm and informative. The occasional jokes make it better. So my comment to you is: don't change a thing! Cheers from Finland mate.

    I have owned a RX400h, still do, for over ten years now. I have never had any issues. I’ve driven to Europe a few times in it, done pretty heavy mileage (nearly 200k miles on the clock) and I agree with the nice things you’ve said about it. However, you couldn’t have been farther from the truth when you stated that ‘it’s shit in snow’ because, my experience has been that it copes amazingly in snow. I have driven through some really bad conditions past other vehicles on the roadside which were unable to cope, this Lexus 400h has always performed superbly. The automatic 4x4 drive is quite impressive. Also, I have achieved just over 45mpg inner city mileage (A406 North London 8:30am), although I did drive like an angel to minimise fuel consumption and seldom drive like that.

  • @christopherwhitehead8946
    @christopherwhitehead8946 4 ปีที่แล้ว +247

    We had one of these RX 400h. a) it NEVER ran silently. It was continuously topping up the battery, or putting it another way, the battery was giving the petrol engine a bit of extra help. Yes, it probably was more efficient than a simple V6 petrol. However, it never, ever ran silently like a Prius or Aurus hybrid taxi.
    We changed it for a Range Rover Vogue 4.4 diesel. The RR was quicker and more economical.
    b) On the other hand, the Lexus was impeccably reliable, and the Range Rover was a bucket of shite.

    For a very old car it looks surprisingly well-kept. Zero warning lights is also a nice change from German or Range Rovers that always seem to have something going wrong. It's very middle class, but not everyone is trying to be the Duke of Westminster. Some just need a daily that has soft suspension that transports their family safely and comfortable. This really is the perfect car, albeit it does not have the charm or luxury of a Range Rover

    I have had a 2007 RX400h for the past 7 years. Purchased for £12K with 64,000 miles on it. Now in Nov 2021, it has 140,000 miles. Love the car, works well, plenty of grunt and comfortable. Recommend you get a SEL as it has a Mark Levinson sound system, which sounds great. Always serviced by Lexus and few things have gone wrong. Hybrid battery passes it battery health check, never been an issue. Saw a American TH-cam video on a 250,000 mile RX and still going strong on original Hybrid battery! Latest trip computer show last 3000 miles covered at an average of 30.6 MPG. Family of 5, all tall, 3 x 6+ footers and car accommodates easily. Love the flat floor in the rear. Cannot recommend enough. Only problem is - it still works, so no need for a newer car ;-)

    12 years on and I still own my RX400h. She's a 2008 model (Made in Japan) with a nicer interior eg. Higher definition infotainment display, wood trimmed interior, DVD player, 6 disc stacker etc... Cost me nothing besides tyres and regular oil change and I have had zero issues so she is extremely reliable. Changed my brakes at 120K Kms and there is still heaps of meat left which shows the regen braking is doing a wonderful job. she's a keeper.

    The gearbox is what Lexus called an eCVT and bears no resemblance to a belt driven CVT, so no worries about catastrophic failures similar to those encountered in Nissan and Audi units. The “CVT” only refers to the feel of the drive, in the same way as the Lexus IS300h or Prius; they use the same tech to blend the power between the petrol engine and electric motors.

    I have this car and can verify everything you have mentioned in your video! I love driving it.
    Great family car, super comfortable and just a brilliant motorway cruiser. You forgot to mention the radio system, which frankly still surprises me how amazing it sounds...and the bass is just on point! I am used to driving much faster cars but, oddly, I find driving the Lexus very calming...and yes, it has turned me into a "Sunday lunchtime" driver!!...not a bad thing really as it saves on fuel.
    My only gripe is I have the same interior and have to ensure that it's constantly cleaned...we have two dogs, so this is a little challenging. I would certainly but the newer models when the time comes.
    (Btw, the RX400h comes with Bluetooth, but sadly this only works with mobile phone calls and not music audio). My full-service cost is around £180 every year).
    Thanks for making the video.

  • @rtankard

    Rear brakes can be a problem on these. The electric regeneration does most of the rear wheel braking, so the rear mechanical brakes don't get a lot of use. This means they can get seized and need a rebuild, which can be expensive. If you have one, make sure you are heavy on the brakes now and again so the rear actually engage and it keeps them moving, and being used, rather than letting them fester for 90k miles without having them checked or serviced. Buying used, check the rear discs for rust to see if they are working or not. UK Lexus servicing can be expensive and some people don't have it done correctly.

    • @rtankard
      @rtankard 4 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      @Akira S Yes, it has a front electric motor, but a smaller 66bhp, 130Nm torque electric motor directly drives the rear diff, giving four-wheel-drive capability when required. There is no front-to-rear prop-shaft, so the petrol engine never drives the rear wheels. The front brakes do the majority of the braking, so there is only infrequent load on the rear, hence they only rarely require any mechanical braking. We don't have the Highlander here in the UK, so I couldn't comment on that.

    • @brokenworld1
      @brokenworld1 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      As the other guys said, regen works on font too. Mine had original rear brakes at 90K! The calipers were mostly seized because of the lack of service that would normally happen when changing pads and disks etc.

    • @LondonSteveLee
      @LondonSteveLee 3 ปีที่แล้ว +9

When waiting at a traffic light and I wanted to turn the radio off, I would sometimes hit the engine off button by mistake! I was honked from behind many times while I put the gear into Park and pressed the engine Start button again.

    a few cool "hidden" features to discover too - the centre console slides back (for if you have a micro fridge or inverter sitting up front at the bottom 12v outlet, the extra smuggler compartments at the rear, the passenger seat can recline to virtually entirely flat to take a longer load to save mucking around with strapping to the roof bars, or to make a comfy enough bed for a 6'+ bloke on a cheap fishing/camping getaway or transport a person with a leg in a cast and still be seatbelt secured in the back seat, there are free ways to DIY upgrade the maps database (but now, with phones as good as they are, I don't even bother anymore). And if you can find one with the Mark Levinson sound upgrade it's so nice even by modern standards (except the era had no BT for audio, just for calls.)

    If I drive like a granny I get 25MPG. When you floor it the engine sounds pretty decent. Mine is a black 2007 SEL with similar miles & the upgraded stereo & half wood wheel so overall £3700 well spent & when you came from a 1.6 A Class auto feels fairly quick & comfy.
    *The main issue if you live in London (they are ULEZ compliant) is that approx 7 minutes after you buy it your catalytic converter will be stolen which takes approx 50 seconds. If you get another one & don't weld over some fairly serious steel about 5 minutes after you replace it it will get stolen again* The trade off with all that steel around the cat is the smoothness & quietness goes which is normally the acceptable trade off for the so so economy. Front parking sensors would be a bonus but with it having dvds in the headrests, 11 speaker stereo, decent engine full electrics & the mirror directing down as you put it in reverse it's a pretty strong spec for an old car!

      @@HighPeakAutos It's rife in London with Prius Auris & 400H's (having a raised ride height they are quicker to steal). Forget to mention from getting my insurance quote to clicking to buy it it went up £300! (Apparently the thieves started targeting them approx 6 weeks before I bought mine). Also the excess is the same price as the replacement 🐈... I think the weight discourages you from going too quick as you still need to stop & apparently they munch through discs & pads. Reliability, last time I went to Uganda I found every next car was a Toyota Harrier so I thought if they can't break them there there is a clue to their reliability!

    I seem to have fallen down a High Peak Autos rabbit hole after watching the Cazoo Car Crash video. So I'll add a comment to a four year old upload 😬
    Serial old Lexus buyer here and one of the many I've enjoyed was an '06 RX400h that I picked up in 2018 and ran for a year or two when I could prise the keys off my wife. Great family bus that was as solid as any Lexus I've owned. Everything worked, nothing broke while I had it, returned great MPG for something that size and weight and was probably one of the most comfortable cars we've had. As you say, you do get a bit obsessive about keeping it running on electric though. And regarding batteries, I've never come across one that's failed. In fact Lexus extended their battery warranty from 10 to 15 years while I owned it. I've never had a car that's gone back into warranty!
    Only thing I'd add to your list of things to look for is water ingress that ends up at the back end of the boot floor. There was an early bulletin in the US regarding a failed weld on the rear edge of the D pillar if I recall but could equally come from the roof rail feet or the base of the tailgate strut. Regardless, all solved with a blob of black mastic.
    Now I'm off to look again at the one you're currently selling 😀

    • @ancientsymbol
      @ancientsymbol 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I have the ‘06 and a few months in we had a torrential downpour in Seattle and that weld failure saw water run down inside the electrical control unit which fried it. Cost me $1,200 to replace. Probably should’ve been a recall rather than a ‘notice’ but we still drive and love the car.

    I have owned an RX 400h for over 10 years and completely agree with the nice things that you said about it. However, your statement that ‘it’s shit in snow’ is incorrect. I can confidently confirm that it is pretty damn amazing in snow. I have driven in some pretty bad conditions, sometimes leaving other cars stranded by the roadside, and this 4x4 automatic has been nothing short of superb. I have also driven this car to Europe a few times with no issues and now the mileage is approaching 200k miles. It’s always been trouble free and I consider myself fortunate to own one.

    I own an 2007 Rx400h from new, done about 120.000 miles in it. Economy in the spring in the city can be as good as 8,5 l/100km if you are being careful. The most economical way to drive is a brisk acceleration from start and then coasting with the hybrid system. I know that people don't like cvt gearboxes but unless it is a double-clutch or one of these 8-speed gearboxes in current cars, then the cvt is in my opinion better. again you have to learn how to drive it. All these past years, never an issue with reliability. I have found that it is difficult to find an unauthorised dealer to work on it (at least in Vienna, Austria) so I take it to the official network which costs more. You need around €1000 every 30.000km. The amazing thing with this car is the quality on the interior as well as the comfort in traveling, plus it has all the gadgets anyone should really need (ok ok, no gesture control for the navi but all these kind of gadgets turn out to be a reliability headache). I would suggest to owners adding a GROM Vline unit to the stereo (mine being a later model has a much better screen than the one in the video). It adds CarPlay too making the car feel much more current. All in all if you compare it with similar aged and priced cars, the Rx is in my opinion the winner. Planning to drive it's wheels off and will miss it when it eventually dies!

Instead, it uses a "planetary gear" system that will last as long as the engine. I would definitely recommend this car to anyone looking for a good used SUV. As a side note, this generation is the best looking one of all the RX's.

My old 2nd gen CRV had this and it’s something I think all cars should have. I get better mileage than the CRV because of the hybrid BUT, and it’s a HUGE but.......I have spent nearly two grand in the last 15 months on catalytic converters that got nicked. Ground clearance means it takes just one scumbag exactly 20 seconds to cut it off. It is the one reason why this excellent car will not be replaced with another RX400h when the time comes.

    I have a 2009 model, just over a year - zero problems so far other than the tires, you need to get decent branded tires!
    The main problem that will catch most people out, is that the lead acid battery is quite weedy, as it only does the 12v system. It doesn't start the car the hybrid electric motor does. However you will need a decent voltage on the 12v system otherwise the ECU doesn't boot up. So newer lithium 'jump start' leads that detect the car cranking over won't work :)
    I love the car - it's a bus, but a FUN bus.

    I am a Lexus RX400h 2005 owner, after watchung this video and a few more haha I bought it in Sep 2020 with 278.000 kms on the counter, original traction battery and a very complete paperwork of all the repairs and maintenace and the hybrid system check done on the day. It is my daily car and have now done nearly 80.000 kms myself. Apart from the regular maintenance (oil, filters, brake pads, gearbox liquid and the timing belt), I had two actual faults: both rear brake calipers jammed - the left one just after I bought the car and the right one last week. Nothing else, although after my 3 years the hybrid system is now showing signs of getting old. The fuel economy is slightly worse than when I bought it, the consumption was around 10 litres per 100km, now 10,5 litres on average. When the time comes to change the battery, I will have to think if it makes sense to spend another 3000 plus euros to replace it. The car is now worth around 8000/8500 euros here.

The range topping SE-L has extra speakers as part of the Mark Levinson sound package. The sound is still fantastic. Those cars with this feature a speaker on top of the dash centre and Mark Levinson script on the centre console. Fantastic cars, I have a petrol 2004 RX300 and am loathe to change it for anything other than an RX 400h or an RX 450h. I get 25 to 29 mpg from the non-hybrid 3.0 litre V6.

My 400h has 218,000 miles and was driven since day one by previous owners.

I could still get a bit of a grip and after 10 tries, and assist of the tail-end of wrist brace to really grab and show some muscle. Anyway, i lighted our loud about the tendency for broken keys. Somewhere within the 7th and 10th try I had called the dealer to ask for a rescue. They suggested I call AAA! WTF. I'd had the car less than w4 hrs. BUT! I LOVE THIS CAR! Great ride.

    Brilliant real world review. Thanks! Considering a 400h but comparing it to a newer 2015 2.0 VW Passat estate. Can't imagine you have a review of one of these in the works? (odd comparison I know!)

    in 2007 I had a Lexus GS sport mk2 and a vw Passat diesel, the main dealer parts on the Passat were more expensive and both main dealer garages were on the Edgware Road in London.

    My 2007 just hit 306,000 miles; still looks, runs and drives great, and it never breaks.

      Thats impressive. Still on its original battery?

      @@HighPeakAutos No, the battery was replaced by Lexus at about 250,000 miles, before I acquired the car. But in the years I've had it, I haven't had a single problem. If it dies tomorrow I'll still call it the best $4,500 I've ever spent.

    I bought this for my dad recently and he likes it. He had an MDX which he always felt it was massive!
