The Lexus Hybrid Philosophy
As a corporation, we've been developing and consistently improving our hybrid technology for years, allowing us to leverage our fifth generation of hybrid vehicles. With each improvement, Lexus Hybrids take even less from the world, while giving more to the driver. Our luxury hybrids are all certified as Super Ultra-Low Emission Vehicles (SULEV) and feature the luxurious amenities, attention to detail and superior craftsmanship you expect from a Lexus.

From the moment a Lexus Hybrid begins production, great care is taken at each step to try to minimize the impact on the environment. That's why Lexus Hybrids have a lightweight body design and are exceptionally lean in their use of raw materials. Sophisticated computer modeling helps to ensure that our environmentally sensitive innovations won't compromise the quality of the vehicle. This not only enables a Lexus Hybrid to run cleaner and conserve natural resources, but leaves less scrap metal at the eventual end of its life. Lexus even recovers all hybrid batteries so that they can be properly handled.

Hybrid Benefits

Increased Horsepower
Zero to 60 in 5.2 seconds. That’s the kind of power you can expect in the GS 450h. While it may have a V6 engine under the hood, the extra boost from the electric-drive motor gives the vehicle the acceleration power of a V8. Of course, performance like this isn’t exclusive to the GS 450h. The LS 600h L’s V8 gas engine and high-output electric motor provide an impressive 438 total system horsepower. The RX 400h also boasts similar power enhancements, as will future Lexus Hybrids.

Lower Emissions
Lexus Hybrids were designed to provide the long-term benefit of lower smog-forming emissions. In fact, every Lexus hybrid vehicle has been certified as a Super Ultra-Low Emission Vehicle (SULEV) with about 70% fewer smog-forming emissions than the average new vehicle. Hybrid drivers also receive the more immediate advantage of better fuel economy overall.

Smoother Rides
The signature refined ride and smooth acceleration Lexus is famous for is also retained in our hybrid vehicles. Thanks to an Electronically controlled Continuously Variable Transmission (ECVT), the switch between the electric-drive motors and internal combustion engine is virtually seamless. And the strategic placement of hybrid components throughout the vehicle, coupled with exceptional rigidity of the frame, give the driver a solid and luxurious ride.

Reduced Noice
Those already familiar with our legendary quiet interiors will be pleased to discover the noise levels in Lexus hybrid vehicles have been reduced even more. The engine mounts were moved upward to diminish vibrations, and the air intake system was completely redesigned. We even added insulation to the body panels, wheel wells and windshield. It’s all part of our continuing quest to provide the most serene environment for our drivers.

Longer Battery Life
The nickel-metal hydride battery in Lexus hybrid vehicles is so advanced that it’s covered by a warranty for eight years/100,000 miles. Better still, you never have to plug in the vehicle to charge the battery. The reason? When the vehicle is coasting or braking, electric power is captured and stored in the hybrid battery for later use. This power management system helps to ensure the battery never runs out of energy.

Better Fuel Economy
The electric-drive motors in Lexus hybrid vehicles provide more than a quieter ride. They also result in vehicles that have better fuel efficiency than their non-hybrid counterparts.
