the “Auto Zeitung” tested the Lexus RX400h and 5 other SUV with V8 engine in issue 16. The result is: 1. new M-Class 2. Touareg , just ahead of 3. Volvo XC90 4. Lexus RX400 Hybrid 5. Range Rover (the big one, not the “sport” 6. Cadillac SRX In the chapter engine/gear unit/driving performance, the Lexus did just as well as the Volvo and the Mercedes. The chapter environment & costs wins the Lexus. The fuel consumption at Lexus was 12.1 liters, behind the Volvo with 14.6 liters, the rest was between 16.5 and 18.9 liters. Critized at the Lexus were: the slightly unfavorably cut trunk, the behaviour on bumpy distances and the seats perceived as small. The others, in contrast to the Lexus, sometimes also had air suspension and better bad path technology. The hybrid drive found the testers “unnecessary” (sometimes hear nothing, sometimes hear something as well as a too constant speed behavior). For the RX400h the lowest value loss and the lowest workshop costs were predicted. bottom line, therefore, no bad result for the RX400h, which was the most affordable in comparison with full equipment. Rolo, who has already driven the RX400h and had a very positive impression.
