Luxury Hybrids by Lexus
As gas prices have risen over the last several months, more consumers across the United States have been researching hybrid vehicles. While the Toyota Prius and Honda Civic are popular, some people are looking for luxury accommodations in their hybrid. Lexus has three models to satisfy even the most refined driver.
RX Hybrid
The Lexus RX-series utility vehicle was one of the first luxury hybrid vehicles to be released. The RX hybrid allows SUV/crossover fans the experience of a premium ride with a more environmentally-friendly engine. The 2008 RX Hybrid prices start at $41,580 for a 3.3 liter Hybrid V6, 268 horsepower and the option of part-time AWD.
GS Hybrid
The Lexus GS series combines a luxury sedan with the styling of a sports car. Starting at $55,800, Lexus GS 450h owners can choose from numerous high-end options including a premium sound system by Mark Levinson Surround Sound and a voice-activated navigational system.
The GS series of sedans have been known for their meaty engines. The GS 450h boasts a 3.5 liter, 340 HP engine with a 0-60 time of 5.2 seconds. For those drivers who like some serious get up and go in their hybrid, the Lexus GS 450h should be their first choice!
LS Hybrid
From its inception, the LS sedan has been known for offering only the best and most unique options for sophisticated drivers. The Lexus LS 600h L is not your everyday hybrid. With a base price of $104,900, the Lexus LS 600h L is the hybrid of choice for only the most refined of drivers.
While the base model comes with a bevy of luxury options, the Executive-Class Seating Package II is the granddaddy of Lexus hybrid upgrades. For a mere $12,570 (the price of a good used Prius), this package offers drivers a four-zone automatic climate control system, the Lexus Rear-Seat Entertainment System (RSES), a hidden rear-seat table trimmed in wood and of course upgraded tires and wheels.
If you’re used to riding in the lap of luxury but want to do your part and drive a hybrid, do not despair. One of these three Lexus luxury hybrids is sure to meet your every want and need.
