Our 2006 RX 400 H has over 307,000 miles on it and it still doing great! It’s on the original battery and the battery is still working perfectly. The trick for long life is buying a quality vehicle and then maintaining it properly. As for the battery be sure you vacuum out and keep the rear vents clean and the battery will last a long time!

The hybrid battery on my 2007 RX400h was replaced by the dealer four years ago at 268,000 miles. We're now at 308,000 miles and still going strong. Still drives smooth, everything still works, interior's still nice, transmission's still perfect and engine still uses no oil. Half of me wants to upgrade to a newer one but the other half asks, why?

Amazing video, exactly what I was looking for before I buy a Lexus UX

Impeccable! The exterior is amazing, and the interior looks brand new. How much would it cost to do some minor touch-ups on the paint job?

Hybrid battery failures do happen at lower mileages, but it's just as rare as an engine failing at lower mileages, and typically only a single battery cell goes bad and not the entire pack. Toyota/Lexus batteries have an excellent lifespan because of how well controlled the charge & discharge cycles are. Some older Honda hybrids have been the exception to this as their design brought the battery to maximum and minimum charge levels too frequently and longevity suffered. Most manufacturers follow (or even license) Toyota's hybrid designs.

Great video, and great used RX. I agree that proper maintenance is the key, but sadly too many service centers and repair shops make it a goal to rip people off. The fear of getting taken advantage of scares people who can’t afford to be ripped off. I’ve worked around the car business and talked to many people who fear dealerships and service centers more than dentists or the boogeyman! Sad that businesses do that so there aren’t more cars like this RX on the road today.

Great point, my friend. It is truly unfortunate. This is one of the biggest reasons I work for Lexus and no other brand. I have found that Lexus, for the most part, has an incredible trustworthiness that allows clients for a wonderful, trusting relationship. I do appreciate your thoughts and great contribution to the conversation! Brock

I have a Lexus 400h with a wood steering wheel and wood shifter, it's an option. I have 147k miles on it still runs like new--smooth and quiet with enough pep to beat just about anybody off the line, except Tesla's. :) My dad put: 450k miles on his Chevy truck and it wasn't near the quality of a Lexus. Cars will usually keep going, for almost-ever, if you service them right and drive gently.

Good question,I FB messaged you a couple days ago about this hybrid situation.

Batteries on Hybrids now are nothing to worry over. The individual cells can be replaced for relatively cheap when they finally quit.

Indeed, the best hybrid maker.

i just hit 100,000in mine. 2008, RX 400h. Shows no wear and tear on the inside and is set for another 100,000 miles easily.

My RX has done 235000 in 14 years, just changed the rear ball bearings. Apart from that just normal service. Had the car from new.

Wow, that new lexus is just too beautiful

190,000 on my 2006 RX400h as of May 2023. I've replaced neither battery... or brakes. Aside from a slight steering drift issue, the car has been flawless. Easily the best car purchase I have ever made. I'm still getting 24 MPG plus.

Lexus builds a GREAT product. They are constructed to last. My 06 has 190k and it still drives like new.

Ha! I've got a 2004 RX330 with 350k miles. Still running great. It's not rare to find 10 yo Lexus this clean. The reason, if the car is reliable (not causing all kinds of headache) the owner tends to take good care of it.

My brother in Laws car Honda Accord 1995 had 500,000 Kilometres on the clock when he traded it. He kept it serviced with what the factory manual said at the right time. Key to maintenance free driving is servicing according to manufacturers specifications. Problem is many people don't because they can't be bothered, are ill informed or the servicing is too expensive.

It's just a amazing car and a good video, thanks!

I love the acceleration, best by far of three different RXs that we've had. Lexus has goofed BIGLY on their NAV interface though and it will prevent me from getting another...unless they fix it.

I have a 2013 450h with 39,000 miles. Original msrp $57.5k. I bought it in 2015 with 18k miles on it. The original owner ordered it and it must have been the last 13 made because the plate says 7/13/13 for manufacture date. Didn't make it to the USA until September and wasn't titled until December of 13. I am thinking of trading it for a pick up truck (which I drove for 40 years) but I know it's going to last forever. I do synthetic oil change and all of the filters myself, the white parchment leather is as new. It's been (by me) clay barred, polished (Meguiar's Ultimate Polish) and Quick and Slick to finish and maintain mirror shine. The claret mica metallic is beautiful in sunlight. I got stopped in the neighborhood at a speed trap and as the cop was writing out the ticket he wanted me to verify it was a 2013 lol. The only option I I wanted but did not get is the Levinson sound system.

Secret to a clean car-no food including soda in the car and seat covers for the first 10 years. We only allow on road trips water, raw vegetables and crackers that are not greasy in our cars and a lot of wet wipes for little and big fingers, wax the outside annually and wash weekly the outside with water only and wipe down everything inside with the damp towel that you dried the car and change the oil when the maintenance light comes on. Our cars never rust and we have a a 19 year old Chev Silverado (original owner) that looks like it is 2 years old. Sugar and other sticky foods attracts dirt and before you know it you are driving in a trashed car.

Hybrid batteries last by years, not by miles. High mileage vehicles usually have freeway miles and the battery is only moderately used when slowing down and speeding up. Low mileage vehicles usually have local miles and the batteries are used extensively in stop-and-go traffic. The batteries in all 12 year old hybrids are similar, regardless of the mileage.

I have a 2006 rx400h with 250k miles. And it has wood trim shifter and steering wheel. Just bought a rx350 f sport. Lexus and toyota are way ahead of their time on technology and over engineering their hybrid systems. Wish they would come out with an electric or plug in one. My next car will be a rx450h f sport

The Lexus RX350, Toyota highlander are based on the Toyota Kruger, which sold on other worldly markets. The Toyota Kruger is built for Australia's harsh desert environment. So that's this Lexus RX lasted for so long
