LEXUS HYBRID ADVANTAGE |
|
| |
Better fuel economy with
lower emissions. An exceptionally smooth
ride. Luxury without sacrifice. That’s the
Lexus Hybrids.
CLEANER POWER
Reduced 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), meaning
they release about 70%fewer smog-forming
emissions* into the air when compared to
similar non-hybrid vehicles offering
comparable power.
IMPROVED EFFICIENCY
Better Fuel Efficiency -
The electric-drive motors in Lexus Hybrids
result in vehicles with better fuel
efficiency when compared to their non-hybrid
counterparts, since Lexus Hybrids aren’t
solely dependent on their gasoline engines.
Longer Battery Life - The nickel-metal
hydride battery found in Lexus Hybrid
vehicles is so advanced that it’s designed
to last for more than 100,000 miles. And
with its regenerative braking technology,
when the vehicle is coasting or braking,
electric power is captured and stored to
help ensure the battery remains charged.
ENHANCED COMFORT
Smoother Ride - The
refined ride and smooth acceleration that
Lexus is famous for are only enhanced in our
hybrid vehicles. Thanks to an Electronically
Controlled Continuously Variable
Transmission (ECVT), the switch from
electric to gasoline power is virtually
seamless. And the strategic placement of
hybrid components throughout the vehicle
creates a solid and luxurious ride.
Reduced Noise - Although
the Lexus Hybrids are virtually silent when
operating on electric power only, we took
additional steps to ensure the most serene
driving experience—even when the gasoline
engine is running. The engine mounts were
moved upward to diminish vibrations, and the
air intake system was completely redesigned.
Finally, we lowered the likelihood of
outside disturbances by adding insulation to
the body panels, wheel wells and windshield.
*On average, the Lexus Hybrids produce about
70%fewer smog forming emissions versus other
similar new vehicles in their class.
