This is an SUV that rides and performs like a luxury sedan. It also gets great mileage. I averaged 27 mpg for my first 1000 miles and over 30 mpg on my daily stop and go commute into Boston. I am tall and this is the first car that makes me feel comfortable getting in and out of the drivers seat. The car has every bell and whistle you could want and some you may never use. I love this car!
298,000 miles and going strong

I have 298,000 miles on my 2008 Lexus RX 400h. Got it with 114,000 for $15,900 in 2013 at a Mercedes dealership in Tysons corner VA and never had a major problem with it. Took it to Michigan and drove from Kalamazoo to Flint and back several times a week racking up miles. It’s seen the worst winters. The AWD kept me safe in a few situations. I easily could have died at least twice on the highway but this Lexus was so agile I was able to escape unscathed. I’ve just done routine oil changes, brakes and a few small other things. My Aunt and Uncle bought a new BMW and when I picked up my grandpa he said don’t tell my aunt, but my Lexus was a smoother ride. And I have to agree. This thing is like your on a cloud. And the power is instant. The only problem I’ve had is my wife likes it so much she keeps taking it to work and leaving me with the Mini Cooper. I caught her getting in on my day off and confronted her and she said she needed to make calls on the way to work and it’s so quiet. That’s her excuse I guess. Anyway love this car. I hope to hit 500,000 miles. But I hear on the internet the hybrid battery won’t last. But they also said it wouldn’t last past 200,000 and here we are. Getting my Lexus for roughly $15,000 and putting nearly 200k miles on it already is an unbelievable value. I started the Dave Ramsey plan the year after I got it and have been payment free for 6 years now. Every time I open the garage I want to give my Lexus a hug and say thank you for giving me your best years. I love this car.

My wife and 18 month old were just in a severe accident an run off the road into a telephone pole that completely crushed the car. My wife and baby left with only a slight bump on her head. We are going to get another one immediately. Safety is everything.
Great performance and mileage!

Broke this car in on a trip through the mountains. At 200 miles, it averaged 25.1 MPG, 72 MPH. Town driving at average 27 to 29 MPG. Latest trip (Interstate and mountains) averaged 26.1 MPG., again at 72 MPH. Acceleration is both excellent and fun. This is our third Lexus (2nd RX) and it's by far the best. If your gas mileage isn't AT LEAST as good as the EPA estimate, work on modifying your driving style. Build quality for this Japanese-built example is flawless, and dealer (Classic Lexus) is extremely 'hybrid knowledgeable'.
Best of the best!

I’ve got my RX 400h in 2016 with 59,000 miles on it, and it was the best purchase I’ve ever made! It’s a great car for daily commute. It looks AMAZING and it has most of the options on 2017 models! The mpg ranges around 25-31, which is fairly well for a SUV. I really recommend purchasing an RX. The difference between the 2006, 07, and 08 is that the 06 & 07 take in regular gas while the 2008 is premium. The 07 comes with the wood interior as an option. The 08 has chrome handles along with a newer navigation system. GREAT CAR!! Update: I bought another 2008 rx400h with 104k on it and it’s amazing. I would recommend a rx400h for the rest of my life!
