Freewheeling

Hi

I have had an RX450 SE-L Premier for a few months now and I absolutly love it.

I upgraded from an RX400h. The one thing that I would like to see improve is the mpg.

When driving the RX400h I noticed that when lifting off the throttle there was little if any engine braking, caught me out a couple of times when approaching junctions etc., my RX450h however has very noticable engine braking. I am beginning to wonder if this may well be a factor in the mpg I am achieving (between 28 and 32).

EV mode also seems very difficult to keep going for more that a very short time, starting from stopped is difficult regardless of how light the touch on the throttle.

Has anyone any thoughts on this?

Sounds like a call into a reliable dealer for a bit of electronic diagnostics.............
