LEXUS HYBRID DRIVE
The future in high performance is here
It allows two energy sources to work as one, for a thrilling driving experience. Lexus Hybrid Drive makes intelligent use of a high performance petrol engine, teamed with the instantaneous response of electrical energy. The result is smooth, powerful acceleration yet low fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. That's something the whole planet will benefit from. Equally remarkable is the level of quietness during moments of intense power delivery.
The petrol engine not only drives the wheels, it charges the hybrid battery as you drive, which is why you can forget about having to plug a Lexus hybrid vehicle into an external power source. Similarly, when you brake, the kinetic energy is captured as electrical energy and used to help charge the battery. Find out exactly how Lexus Hybrid Drive system works and just how far it can take you.
