NO NEED TO PLUG-IN. NO NEED TO CHANGE DRIVING HABITS. NO COMPROMISE IN PERFORMANCE OR FUEL EFFICIENCY.
Lexus Self-Charging Hybrids are electrified vehicles with some potent differences over pure battery electrics. With a Lexus Hybrid, you never need to plug-in, worry about where the next charging station might be, or change your driving habits in any way. Just get in and go.
THE LINEUP
Lexus offers the widest range of self-charging hybrids of any luxury manufacturer in Canada. From high performance sports cars to high capacity SUVs including the UXh, ESh, LSh*, LCh*, NXh, RXh, and RXh L.
*A world’s first, Lexus’ Self-Charging Multi-Stage Hybrid technology takes the hybrid experience to an exhilarating new level. A finely tuned 4-speed gearbox, added to the existing eCVT (Electronic Continuously Variable Transmission), creates a hybrid system that simulates a 10-speed transmission. That evokes the fiercely connected feel of selecting gears yourself -- using steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters. Available now on the Lexus LS 500h and LC 500h, the Self-Charging Multi-Stage Hybrid is our latest innovation, and a taste of the dynamic innovations that are just down the road.
ENVIRONMENT
Every time you drive a Lexus Self-Charging Hybrid, you reduce your impact on the environment. With their ability to operate in electric mode only and optimize fuel use at all speeds, Lexus Hybrids give you all the power you need, while dramatically reducing CO2 emissions, and helping us all move towards a cleaner future.
Reduce Harmful GHG Emissions
Lexus Self-Charging Hybrid’s are up to 70% cleaner than gas burning engines and diesels*, all while delivering dynamic handling and exceptional performance.
* Based on North American sales data and Federal Tier 2 engine emission standards, hybrids create 70% less smog forming emissions and 30% less CO2 compared to similarly equipped conventional and diesel powered vehicles
Regenerative Braking
Collecting otherwise discarded energy and reusing it as driving energy is another way that Lexus Self-Charging Hybrids get the most of every litre while reducing CO2emissions - and your carbon footprint - at the same time.
Electric Mode Only
Under optimum conditions, a Lexus Self-Charging Hybrid can reach 50 km/h in electric mode only. That means less reliance on fuel and fewer emissions in most city driving situations.
Battery Recycling
Lexus is committed to the principles of reduce, reuse and recycle, and have pioneered the recycling of the batteries, motor magnets, and rare earth metals used in hybrid technology.
Improved Fuel Efficency
Depending on the vehicle, the mix of city versus highway speed driving, your driving habits, and how heavily the vehicle is loaded, the ability for a Lexus Self-Charging Hybrid to operate in electric mode only or in combination with the gas engine can significantly extend the distance between fill-ups, while dramatically reducing emissions versus a gas-only vehicle.
