 2007 LEXUS RX Hybrid The World’s First Luxury Hybrid

The groundbreaking RX 400h has captured the attention and curiosity of drivers all over the world. This revolutionary new hybrid system combines
gas and electricity, making the RX 400h a phenomenal blend of performance and fuel efficiency. Drivers will have the benefits of a hybrid without
sacrificing luxury, versatility or safety. With its sleek styling and rugged stance, this hybrid looks everything like a Lexus. Perhaps now the true definition
of luxury also includes fewer stops at the gas station.

 2007 LEXUS RX Hybrid Hybrid Technology
The innovative technology behind the Lexus hybrid system utilizes a combination of gas and electricity.
At slow speeds it’s powered by electricity.* When accelerating, the gas engine engages, allowing both
power sources to work together. At higher speeds, the gas engine is primarily used with the electric
motor(s) providing assistance when needed. But don’t worry, this seamless integration isn’t something
you have to pay attention to. It’s all managed by intelligent electronic control systems. The complementary
nature of the hybrid system also leads to significantly reduced emissions. Not surprisingly, the RX 400h
has been given a Super Ultra-Low Emission Vehicle (SULEV) rating. And lastly, you will never have to plug
in the RX 400h. Every time you apply the brakes, and during coasting, kinetic energy is captured and the
battery is recharged. This eliminates the need for any external charging. With this cutting-edge technology,
we are indeed one step closer to perfection.

* Engine may activate to provide additional power depending on factors such as battery charge level and ambient temperature.

 2007 LEXUS RX Hybrid Performance

You might not expect a hybrid to have the power of a performance sedan, but through innovative technology, the 268-horsepower 1 hybrid system
pumps out the acceleration of a V8. The ingenious RX 400h is also one of the first Lexus vehicles to offer intuitive Vehicle Dynamics Integrated
Management (VDIM). 2 While cornering in the onset of a skid situation, this feature helps the driver keep the vehicle in control by adjusting the speed,
throttle, braking and steering of the vehicle. With the adaptive front headlamps, you’ll meet every curve in full light as the low-beam headlamps pivot
in accordance with your vehicle’s speed and the direction you are turning. This innovative thinking makes the RX 400h the discerning driver’s hybrid.

 2007 LEXUS RX Hybrid Interior Luxury
The RX 400h is first and foremost a Lexus, providing the ultimate in luxury amenities. The
impressive list begins with such features as the electroluminescent meter instrumentation,
available rich leather interior trim, rear seat 40/20/40 split, available moonroof, sliding center
console and power rear door. Decadence is exemplified in the 10-way adjustable driver’s and
front passenger’s seats (including lumbar) for your additional comfort.

 2007 LEXUS RX Hybrid Rear Backup Camera & DVD Navigation System

Another ingenious feature on the 2007 RX 400h is the available backup camera.3 The tiny camera
lens sits virtually unnoticed just above the rear license plate and allows the driver to actually “see
backward.” When the RX 400h is put into Reverse, the video camera conveniently displays its
full-color image on the available in-dash, LCD NAV4 screen. The driver is then better prepared to
maneuver: a terrific resource while parallel parking or backing up near objects such as valet stands,
luggage or those obligatory hotel courtyard fountains.

Whether you’re in the city or beyond, a little guidance can be enormously helpful. And that’s precisely
why the RX 400h comes available with the brilliant Lexus voice-activated DVD Navigation System4
with Bluetooth® technology.5 It maps information for most of the contiguous U.S. and major Canadian
cities, so not only does it spare you from asking for directions, it can also suggest restaurants by cuisine
and easily guide you to points of interest.

 2007 LEXUS RX Hybrid Audio & Rear-Seat Entertainment System

The spacious cabin of the 2007 RX 400h offers amenities that could rival a concert or film premiere. Movie lovers of all ages will enjoy the available Lexus
DVD Rear-Seat Entertainment System (RSES). As for music aficionados and high-end audiophiles, they’ll love the bold sound of the available Mark Levinson®
Premium Audio System6—and the 11 speakers that accompany it. All highly persuasive reasons to spend as much time in the RX 400h as possible.

 2007 LEXUS RX Hybrid Airbag System

The RX 400h’s sophisticated network of sensors and airbags 7 is designed to help enhance passenger protection should a collision occur.
Depending on factors such as crash severity and driver’s seat-track position, the advanced driver’s dual-stage airbag 7 deploys at a higher or
lower speed to help provide an appropriate level of occupant restraint. Similarly, the advanced front passenger’s dual-stage airbag 7 uses occupant
sensors to determine if a deployment is appropriate, and crash severity sensors to determine whether to deploy the airbag at higher or lower
speeds. The 2007 RX 400h also features front seat-mounted side airbags 7 that are larger than conventional side airbags 7 and designed to help
protect the torso, abdomen and pelvis. And rounding out this comprehensive system are front and rear side curtain airbags 7 with rollover sensors
and a driver’s knee airbag.7 Of course, as impressive as it is, the RX 400h’s airbag system 7 is one feature we hope is never needed.

 2007 LEXUS RX Hybrid Ownership Experience
And now your journey is ready to begin. The Lexus ownership experience is a magnificent journey
within itself. Measured not in mileage, but in moments. Flashes in time that delight you, inspire
you. That in whatever small way, enrich your life. You’ll feel it in the peace of mind you get from
our well-earned reputation for unparalleled vehicle quality and dependability. You’ll feel it in the
pride of knowing that Lexus puts a high priority on the wise use of natural resources as shown
in the certification of every vehicle we build. And you’ll feel it in our award-winning customer
service, where every dealership goes to great lengths to accommodate you. This journey of Lexus
ownership is the reason our owners are some of the most satisfied drivers on the road today. And
why so many of them continue to return again and again. Because we understand that whether
your travels take you to vineyards for a weekend or simply around the block for errands, the miles
of road left behind you will be a distant memory. But the moments along the way will last a lifetime.

CUSTOMER SATISFACTION
Your total and complete satisfaction is our highest priority. Which is why you may find our dealerships provide such amenities as offices you can use
for business, free pickup and delivery, service loaner vehicles, complimentary car washes, concierge service and even 24-hour emergency Roadside
Assistance* for your first four years of ownership.

RESPONSIBLE THINKING
As part of an effort to reduce emissions whenever possible, every Lexus vehicle built since 2004 has been certified as either a Low-Emission Vehicle
(LEV), Ultra-Low Emission Vehicle (ULEV) or (ULEV II), or Super Ultra-Low Emission Vehicle (SULEV).

VALUE/DEPENDABILITY/QUALITY
Our commitment to build the finest vehicles in the world has not wavered since our inception. Seen in such ways as projected low repair costs and
high retained value, our pursuit of perfection has never been stronger.
*Coverage only available in the continental U.S. and Canada. Please see your Lexus dealer for details.

warranty

Eight-year/100,000-mile Powertrain Warranty on Hybrid control module, battery control module, Hybrid vehicle battery pack and inverter with converter. Eight-year/100,000 mile Hybrid Vehicle System Warranty. All warranties with zero
deductible. See the RX 400h Warranty and Services Guide at your Lexus dealer for details.

footnotes & disclaimers­­­­

1. Ratings achieved using the required premium unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 91 or higher. If premium fuel is not used, performance will decrease. 2. Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management (VDIM) is an electronic system
which integrates braking, steering, Vehicle Stability control (VSC) and Traction Control (TRAC) systems, and is designed to help the driver maintain control when there is a loss of traction in a turn. It is not a substitute for safe driving
practices. Factors including speed, road conditions and driver steering input can all affect whether VDIM will be effective in preventing a loss of control. Please see your Owner’s Manual for further details. 3. The backup camera does not
provide a comprehensive view of the rear area of the vehicle. You should also look around outside your vehicle and use your mirrors to confirm rearward clearance. Cold weather will limit effectiveness and view may become cloudy. 4. The
Navigation System is designed to assist in locating an address or point of interest. Discrepancies may be encountered between the system and your actual location. Road system changes may affect the accuracy of the information provided.
Rely on your common sense to decide whether to follow a specified route. Detailed coverage not available in every city or roadway. Periodic updates available at an additional cost. See your Navigation System Owner’s Manual for further
details. 5. The Bluetooth® technology phones listed on lexus.com have been tested for compatibility with Lexus vehicles. Performance will vary based on phone software version, coverage and your wireless carrier. Phones are warranted
by their manufacturer, not Lexus. 6. Mark Levinson is a registered trademark of Harman International Industries, Inc. 7. All the vehicle’s airbag systems are Supplemental Restraint Systems (SRS). The driver and front passenger airbags and
driver’s knee airbag are designed to inflate in severe (usually frontal) collisions where the magnitude and duration of the forward deceleration of the vehicle exceed the design threshold level. The side and side curtain airbags are designed
to inflate in certain types of severe side-impact collisions. The side curtain airbags are Roll-Sensing Curtain Airbags (RSCA) and are designed to inflate at a severe tilt degree, roll or lateral G-force. In all other accidents, the airbags will not
inflate. To decrease the risk of injury from an inflating airbag, always wear seatbelts, sit upright in the middle of the seat as far back as possible from the airbag modules, and do not lean against the door. Do not put objects in front of an airbag
or around the seatback. Do not use a rearward-facing child seat in any front passenger seat. The force of a deploying airbag SRS may cause serious injury or death. Please see your Owner’s Manual for further instructions. Vehicle complies
with “advanced airbag” requirements of FMVSS 208. 8. Accessory roof rack with rails not recommended for luggage. 9. Continuous average power, all channels driven, at 0.1% THD; 20–20,000 Hz. 10. Dynamic Radar Cruise Control
was designed to assist the driver and is not a substitute for safe and attentive driving practices. Please see your Owner’s Manual for important cautions and instructions. 11. Before towing, confirm your vehicle and trailer are compatible,
hooked up and loaded properly and you have any necessary additional equipment. Do not exceed any weight ratings and follow all instructions in your Owner’s Manual. The maximum amount you can tow depends on the total weight of
any cargo, occupants and available equipment. 12. Headphones are for passenger use only. Do not use while operating vehicle. 13. The RX 400h is not designed to be driven off-road. 14. Brake Assist is designed to help the driver
take full advantage of the benefits of ABS. It is not a substitute for safe driving practices. Braking effectiveness also depends on proper brake-system maintenance and tire and road conditions. 15. The Lexus Tire Pressure Monitor System
alerts the driver when tire pressure is critically low. For optimal tire wear and performance, tire pressure should be checked regularly with a gauge; do not rely solely on the monitor system. See your Owner’s Manual for further details.
16. Performance figures are for comparison only and were obtained with prototype vehicles by professional drivers using special safety equipment and procedures. Do not attempt. 17. AMCI-Certified testing. 18. 2007 EPA-estimated
mpg. Actual mileage may vary. 19. Interior available with walnut or golden bird’s-eye maple wood trim. 20. The Lexus Personalized Settings (LPS) Program is a one-time, complimentary offer for new 2005 model year vehicles and newer
purchased or leased from 10/1/04 and beyond, up to 12 months from the date the vehicle is sold to the first retail purchaser or the date it is first used as a demonstrator, lease or company car, whichever occurs first. Please see your Lexus
dealer for more information.
