RAID10 Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 Just got a Lexus brochure today with lots of pictures but not much on standard equipment or options. It states this model will go on sale April 15, 2005 (old news). It never shows a shot of the radio to see if XM is available, but the news said that it was announced by Toyota that all Lexus models will have the option from the factory. The letter also says that colors are available on the website, but I looked and just the 330 is there. Mark Templin, Vice President, Lexus Marketing said in the letter that the development stage is over and the preproduction stage has started.

jerryray Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 I also received a brochure. Currently have an 04 rx330. Getting 18 in town avg highway 23-25. Would like the improved mileage. Where are the batteries? Looks like the seats are a different arrangment. Does anyone know if there is less storage space inside? Are the little compartments below the carpet still there towards the rear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motocopter Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 Does the 400h have fully power-adjustable front seats - with lumbar adjustments on both? What are the claimed mpg #s? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW03ES Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 The 400h will have everything the 330 has and more. As for the batteries they're arranged into the undercarriage and I suspect they won't impede in interior room based on my experience with the Prius.

Lexusfreak Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 Any idea if it's the same size fuel tank as in the regular 330? & what do you predict the price premium will be over the 330? I'm guessing about $4,000 - $7,000 range? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything else is standard equipment, so you'd have to factor that in when comparing prices of the 330 to the 400. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The AWD is going to be starting at 50K approx. ← I got it from a dealer that the R400h will start at 40 or 41K with AWD, he thinks there will be no FWD offered.
