LEXUS HYBRID PERFORMANCE
Options Shown
IN THE LEAD: ON THE ROAD AND IN THE INDUSTRY.
More
than a decade ago, Lexus transformed the industry with the introduction
of the RX 400h-the world's first luxury vehicle to pair an already
potent gasoline engine with a powerful electric motor and a self-charging battery.
Boasting
a variety of advantages over traditional powertrains, from
instantaneous acceleration to added fuel efficiency, all while
surrounding the driver with exceptional craftsmanship, Lexus has been
increasing its lead ever since.
With a significantly enhanced warranty that guarantees every new Lexus Hybrid battery for 10 years or 150,000 miles, and multiple models to choose from - each offering more to the driver while requiring less from the world - this is more than progress. It's progress in fast-forward.

EXPERIENCE THE BENEFITS OF LEXUS HYBRIDS
_____________________________
High performance and fuel efficiency are just two of the advantages offered by a dual-source powertrain.
STARTING FROM A
STOP

It's an advantage you'll feel in an instant. With a firm press of the accelerator, the powerful electric motors combine with the gas engine to deliver immediate torque and seamless acceleration off the line. When starting from a stop under normal conditions, only the electric drive is used for light acceleration, resulting in a gentle, silent takeoff* and enhanced efficiency.
DRIVING

Exceptional MPG estimates are yet another benefit of Lexus
Hybrid Drive. Unlike conventional vehicles, which are optimized
primarily for cruising, Lexus hybrids offer impressive fuel efficiency
in all driving conditions. Whether in city traffic or on the highway,
the system optimizes output from the electric motor and gasoline engine,
allocating power to the drive wheels as well as to an electric
generator. As a result, you won't just enjoy a smoother and quieter
ride, you'll enjoy it over many more miles on a single tank of
gas.
ACCELERATING

Welcome to power to the power of two. During initial takeoff
from a stop, the high-output battery alone provides power to the
electric drive. As speed increases, the potent gas engine is engaged.
And, when extra acceleration is desired, power output from both sources
is optimized to deliver an even greater boost. Working in tandem with
the Electronically controlled Continuously Variable Transmission, the
result is powerful acceleration without the jarring shift points
experienced in a conventional vehicle.
BRAKING

Instantaneous response and exceptional efficiency are only two
of the benefits of the electric power source under the hood. It also
charges itself. During braking, the Lexus Hybrid Drive system suspends
its delivery of drive power and begins generating electricity. Thanks to
this highly effective regenerative braking system, kinetic energy
usually lost during braking is instead converted to electricity and sent
back to the battery.
AT A
STOP

Unlike traditional gasoline engines, which must idle and
consume fuel even at a standstill, a Lexus Hybrid switches off its gas
engine when decelerating and at a stop, saving fuel and minimizing
emissions. The electric motor remains ready and available for immediate
takeoff.
FUELING THE
