Why have we bought a 13 year old lexus rx 400h.
Lexus rx 400h hybrid battery life.
That s because the battery in a hybrid vehicle isn t like the one in a traditional car and it can t be replaced for 75 at the local auto parts store.
You can have it tested by lexus before you buy.
Lexus hybrid drive is known as a full hybrid system meaning that its two power sources a battery powered electric motor and a petrol driven combustion engine are entirely separate from one another.
My 2008 rx 400 h has 139 000 miles with no indication that the hybrid battery is deteriorating all is well.
My 2007 rx 400h has 126k and is going strong.
The vehicle still pulls strong as it did when it was new.
We believe that lexus hybrids are among the finest used cars on the market.
It still has the original spark plugs which lexus recommends changing at 120 000 miles.
The battery is fine.
If you are driving a 2006 2007 lexus rx400h chances are that you have lost a little sleep over the replacement cost of your rx 400h hybrid battery pack.
Shouldn t be an issue.
I had lexus test the battery in 15 and they reported no issues no codes.
Until now there were few options to get your hybrid battery pack replaced in your rx 400h either you go to the dealer or you risk having someone repair it by changing out a single module.
Either of them can power the car on their own or the power from both units can be combined.
I am curious about the owners that have very high mileage on their rx400h as to how long is there a spark plugs lasted.
It is a procedure that lexus has put in place that allows owners to warranty the hybrid battery for up to 15 years.
Including destination charge it arrives with a manufacturer s suggested retail price.
