The Hybrid Lexus

As one of the world’s leading premium car manufacturers, Lexus knows it has a considerable responsibility when it comes to the environment, believing nevertheless that cars are essential to day-to-day lives, and that people value the time they spend in their vehicles.

Lexus Hybrid Drive is the fruition of fifteen years of intensive research and development and has resulted in three breakthrough Lexus models: The RX 400h SUV, the GS 450h performance saloon and the LS 600h luxury flagship saloon. All three hybrids deliver a unique combination of low emissions, exceptionally quiet power and fuel efficiency.
The all-wheel drive LS 600h is the world's first vehicle to feature a full hybrid V8 power train. The Lexus Hybrid Drive system in the LS 600h builds upon technology developed in the RX 400h and GS 450h to combine an all-new five-litre V8 petrol engine with large, high-output electric motors and a newly designed large-capacity battery pack. This advanced combination provides the LS 600h with a peak combined output rating of more than 435 Bhp.
The world’s only range of premium hybrid cars intelligently combines petrol and electric power to deliver outstanding performance with reduced emissions and improved fuel economy. Effortlessly smooth, the LS hybrid is breathtakingly powerful. When starting up or driving at low speeds, there are no emissions at all as the car is powered solely by the electric motor.
