2007 Lexus RX 400h consumer reviews

Great multipurpose car and very reliable. We used as a family and commute car. Pretty good on gas but also plenty of power when needed.

Was originally looking for a RX350 , can easily across this one because I wasn't ready to invest in a grand new one yet. After owning this my next will be a hybrid and brand new, it's all they are hyped up to be and more.

I WOULD RATE IT EXCELLENT ON EVERYTHING EXCEPT THE GAS MILEAGE. I GET 21/23, NOT 31/25 AS EPA SUGGESTED. I OWNED A LEXUS RX300 BEFORE THIS RX 400h.

Lexus reliability and quality with surprisingly higher performance than the gas version of RX. This is a great value for a luxury SUV. Quality features abound. Very quiet and comfortable ride. Excellent fit and finish. Drives and handles like a car but has great storage, especially when rear seats are folded down. This is a car that has a timeless look and drives effortlessness for a daily commute and for a longer trip.

I loved this car for several reasons: 1) I bought it slightly used, so didn't pay its retail cost; 2) I was able to enjoy the best of my two worlds: light-colored comfortable leather interior for hot desert climate and AWD performance plowing easily through nearly 2 feet of fresh snow during a storm in the Sierras; 3) the ride was smooth. Comfortable & quiet; 4) the car hardly cost me anything to own and operate (though I only owned it to 89k miles); 5) I felt safe. 6) the car is a pretty SUV! What I found disappointing: a) the hybrid batteries are under the trunk (umm... where we'd store groceries and wet stuff!), and if they get water in/on them, becomes a fiasco: b) for a supposedly alternatively fueled (well, hybrid) vehicle, the mpg is lackluster: about 21 mpg; c) after driving Audis, I missed that type of handling, but most people will find the handling good.

This car is gorgeous and reliable and everything you'd expect and more in a Lexus Vehicle. If you're thinking about a Lexus, don't think twice.

The SUV looked nice and drove nice, but once a code or light came on inside the car, the only way to clear it was take it to the dealership. For the value of the car versus needed maintenance, the car was not worth the purchase.

Good space overall and great for a small family but the looks are not what your buying it for. The gas savings and reliability is what this SUV stands for!

Overall this is a very good vehicle. It is reasonably comfortable, it is quiet, it rides well, it is reliable, has good safety equipment, has great headlights, gets good fuel mileage for a mid-sized SUV and has a reasonable amount of space for up to five passengers and their cargo. The fore-aft adjustable head-restraints are very nice and should be in every car. The negatives on the vehicle are that with higher miles it gets rattles in the cargo area, the black dashboard has horrible reflections in the windshield on sunny days, the dashboard cracks too easily, and the mileage at highway speeds drops well below EPA estimates. If the batteries ever do die in it, which they are still good at 163k miles and 11 years old now, they will be costly to replace. I would not buy this car, nor really any car, to be "eco friendly" since the manufacturing, disposal of the batteries and the burning of fuel is not necessarily good for the environment, although it is probably not as bad as many say; if you want environmentally friendly, ride a bicycle or walk. If you want decent mileage for a vehicle of this size, then it is a very good choice. There are some features that I would have expected but were not on the vehicle. The trip computer lacks some functions like distance to empty, gallons remaining and others that most of my other cars have had. There is no aux input for the radio. The ES330 of the same year had seat memory for the passenger side, but the RX does not. The RX also does not have cooled seats in 2006. The seats could use adjustable bolsters and height adjustable lumbar support for different size drivers to be more comfortable, especially on long trips or windy roads. Overall, the positives of the vehicle outweigh the negatives so it is still a car that I would purchase again. I look forward to many more years and miles owning our RX 400h.

Very economical and safe to drive. This is my second RX and I'll get another when this one is due to be traded. Currently 170k miles and no problems. No problems with the battery either (supposed to perform for the 'lifetime' of the vehicle).
