2010 Lexus HS 250h Revealed at NAIAS
Toyota has released the luxury counterpart to its bestselling Toyota Prius, the Lexus HS 250h. The vehicle made its world premiere at the North American International Auto Show now underway in Detroit.
“As is appropriate for the first dedicated luxury hybrid vehicle, the HS 250h includes proactive adoption of plant-based, carbon-neutral “Ecological Plastics†or bio-plastics in specific interior areas. Overall, approximately 30-percent of the interior and luggage area is covered with Ecological Plastic. Over the estimated lifecycle of the vehicle, the HS 250h will have approximately 20-percent fewer carbon-dioxide emissions as a result of utilizing the Ecological Plastic trim pieces.†(Source: Lexus)
The vehicle has earned a SULEV emissions rating but no fuel efficiency figures were released at the debut. The HS 250h luxury hybrid sedan seats five and joins the 2010 Lexus RX 450h and the other models in the Lexus Hybrid lineup.
