While hybrid SUVs are becoming more common by the year, it took some time to see industry-wide adoption. Of course, every trend needs an impetus, and it was Lexus that got the ball rolling. Back in 2005, Lexus transformed the automotive market with the launch of the RX 400h, the world's first production luxury hybrid of any kind. Now, more than 15 years later, Lexus continues to lead the way with an extensive lineup of luxury hybrids, including four Lexus Hybrid SUVs.
Combining the fuel-saving and performance benefits of hybrid technology with Lexus's luxurious accommodations and premium amenities, Lexus hybrid SUVs are an excellent choice for discerning drivers seeking to add some versatility to their daily drives while reducing their overall environmental impact.
What is Lexus Hybrid Drive?
Lexus Hybrid Drive is a self-charging hybrid electric system that combines a gasoline engine with a hybrid battery and one or more electric motors. Lexus Hybrid Drive models offer numerous advantages over traditional powertrains, including added fuel efficiency and rapid acceleration thanks to the instant torque transfer of an electric motor. Additionally, every Lexus hybrid SUV includes a warrantee that guarantees the batter for ten years or 150,000 miles.
