RX is hybrid? but you need to drive until certain distance then the car will convert to hybrid, right. so most of the time is still using petrol.

actually it's not true

e.g. the prius will only start the petrol engine when the vehicle hit certain speed

so if it's start-stop traffic it'll rely on the electricity engine

another reason why hybrids are more fuel efficient is the size of the engine

with a smaller engine, it takes less energy to go up a slope or accelerate suddenly

i see. but me still prefer petrol type. anyway, no $$$ to buy lexus.

was looking at the honda civic hybrid until i realise the FC is not as good as the jazz

so far the prius is the best but i dun like salon car style

sigh, hopefully there'll be more hybrids in the market

lexus hybrid FC is around 12km/l, not very good also

RX is not purely hybrid it just indicates Lexus' SUV range.

There is a hybrid model and a normal model for the RX series

LS 600h L is the latest hybrid car Lexus has currently.
