Lexus is launching two new high value versions of the Lexus RX 400h, Europe’s only hybrid power premium SUV. Released for the New Year, the Limited Edition and Executive Limited Edition deliver luxury specifications and efficient performance at a competitive price.

Both new RX 400h special editions build on the regular RX specification with a long list of extra features and come with a two-year/20,000-mile servicing package. At the same time, the on-the-road price is greatly reduced: on sale now, the RX 400h Limited Edition costs £35,995 and the Executive Limited Edition £37,995.

The RX 400h Limited Edition comes with luxury features including leather upholstery, heated electrically adjustable front seats, and the Lexus Multimedia system for leading-edge on-board entertainment and communications.

Key features include:
* Perforated leather upholstery
* Heated, electrically adjustable front seats
* 18-inch alloy wheels

* Adaptive Front-lighting System (AFS) with high-intensity discharge (HID) headlamps and cleaners
* Electrochromic auto-dimming rear view mirrors
* Cruise control
* Rear privacy glass
* Boot protector

* Electrically adjustable steering wheel
* Memory settings for the driver’s seat, steering wheel and door mirrors
* Rain-sensing windscreen wipers

Owners of new RX 400h Limited Edition models enjoy peace of mind as well as low running costs thanks to a two-year/20,000-mile servicing package. Included in the on-the-road price, this covers all routine vehicle servicing during the stated period, with a customer value of around £360.

RX 400h accelerates from rest to 62mph in 7.6 seconds, returning 34.9mpg in combined cycle driving and emitting 192g/km of carbon dioxide, resulting in reductions in benefit-in-kind taxation and overall running expenses.
