A 2007 Lexus RX 400h is currently being sold in the used car market. According to the seller, the car has traveled approximately 120,000 miles (equivalent to 192,000 km), had only 1 owner, and has a complete maintenance history. The handover price is 260 million Vietnamese dong, equivalent to a brand new Wuling Mini EV.
To ensure the buyer’s peace of mind, the seller mentioned that the RX 400h’s battery system has been recently replaced, so the car operates smoothly. Based on research, replacing the hybrid system’s battery on a Lexus RX 400h will cost the user around 100 – 300 million Vietnamese dong.
From the listing images, the Lexus RX 400h can be seen with a silver exterior paint. The condition of the car’s body is decent. The body paint still has a shiny appearance, but the possibility of being “refreshed” before the listing cannot be ruled out. The details of the xenon headlights show slight signs of yellowing. The car comes with a set of 18-inch, double-spoke wheels.
Inside the cabin, the Lexus RX 400h clearly shows signs of wear and tear. The light-colored leather seats reveal obvious stains after 17 years since being manufactured. All the seats have wrinkles, especially the driver’s seat which has cracks due to extensive use. Future owners may consider spending extra money, ranging from a few million to ten million Vietnamese dong, to have the seats reupholstered if needed. Although the steering wheel is covered with a cover, the worn and shiny leather surface can still be seen after a long period of use.
The interior features of the cabin include power-adjustable and heated front seats, a sunroof, dual-zone air conditioning, 8 airbags, built-in rear entertainment screens, and headphones,…
For the drivetrain, the Lexus RX 400h utilizes a 3.3L gasoline engine, producing a maximum power of 208 horsepower and 288 Nm of torque. Additionally, the car has 2 electric motors, with one located at the front wheel generating 165 horsepower and 333 Nm of torque, while the other motor at the rear wheel produces 67 horsepower and 130 Nm of torque. The combined total power output announced by Lexus is 268 horsepower, and all the power is transferred through a CVT transmission.
The Japanese automaker stated that under normal conditions, the Lexus RX 400h utilizes power from the gasoline engine and the front wheel electric motor. However, the rear wheel electric motor only activates when accelerating or in cases where the front-wheel loses traction.
Thanks to the hybrid drivetrain, the Lexus RX 400h achieves a fuel consumption rate of 5.5 – 6 liters per 100 km, according to the seller.
