Unique Lexus RX400h hybrid features

When the new Lexus RX400h hybrid hits dealers next month, it is going to offer features unique to only hybrids in the RX lineup. Obviously, the Hybrid Synergy Drive is unique to all hybrids produced by Toyota, but the Lexus version will offer 268 horsepower while still qualifying for the stringent Super Ultra Low Emission Vehicle (SULEV) rating. The RX400h hybrid; however, will also offer unique 18-inch alloy wheels, electrically-powered air conditioning, electronic brake control and electric power steering, but the Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management (VDIM) feature is the real stand out. Utilizing a variety of sensors the RX400h will unobtrusively correct breaking and throttle control to anticipate any vehicle stability problems. While vehicle stability control systems are available in other autos, the Lexus VDIM is supposed to be Best in Class.
