HYBRID
Overseas model shown⁴
Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEV) use both an electric motor, powered by a battery, and a combustion engine, powered by fuel, to drive the vehicle.
THE BENEFITS OF HYBRID
SEAMLESS PERFORMANCE
Lexus Hybrid Drive intelligently utilises the petrol engine and electric motor as required, seamlessly engaging one, both or neither for a driving experience that offers dynamic performance and impressive acceleration.
BETTER FUEL ECONOMY
With two power sources to call on, the petrol engine is supported by the electric motor and hybrid battery, meaning less fuel is needed to power the vehicle.
NO NEED TO PLUG IN
You will never have to connect a Lexus Hybrid Drive vehicle to a power socket. The electric batteries re-charge when you drive and are ready to go, wherever your journey takes you.
REDUCED EMISSIONS
In certain conditions, such as braking or when stopped at traffic lights, the petrol engine switches off ³, momentarily stopping the production of NOx and CO₂ tailpipe emissions.
How Hybrid Works
Lexus Hybrid Drive vehicles have a petrol engine, an electric motor and the intelligent technology to select the best combination of petrol and electric power, based on your driving needs.
During initial take-off, the high-output electric motor and battery provide all the power you need.3
As you gradually accelerate and require more power, the petrol engine is automatically engaged.
At cruising speeds and when you brake, Lexus Hybrid Drive redirects excess power to help recharge the hybrid battery.
At a complete stop, the petrol engine switches off3, saving fuel and reducing CO₂ tailpipe emissions.
