Lexus hybrids offer the best of both worlds. From fewer trips to the gas station resulting in lower annual fuel costs to the unique hybrid driving experience and the invaluable peace of mind that comes with owning a Lexus, buying a hybrid from North Park Lexus Rio Grande Valley is one of the best choices you can make when shopping for your next vehicle. Lower annual fuel cost and exceptional fuel economy is one key benefit of Lexus hybrids. Lexus explains in a recent Insider article:

• Drawing power from the hybrid battery as needed, the system balances output from the electric motors and the gasoline engine to deliver economy and performance according to the driver’s wishes.
• When engine power is not needed, such as at a stop or at low speeds, the engine is shut off to save fuel and the vehicle is powered by the battery.
• During deceleration and braking, the regenerative braking system harvests the kinetic energy of the vehicle motion, converting it to electricity to help recharge the hybrid battery for additional fuel savings.

By burning less fuel, Lexus hybrids produce fewer emissions – making it a cleaner way to drive. Hybrid technology not only saves you at the pump but helps to reduce your vehicle’s exhaust emissions which lessen environmental impact.

The Lexus hybrid driving experience is as engaging as it is efficient. The integration of electric power delivers a responsive acceleration that is surprising for many first-time hybrid drivers. Starting with a simple test drive with our team at North Park Lexus RGV, you will feel immediate torque and seamless off-the-line acceleration with a firm press of the gas pedal thanks to the powerful electric motors. You can also enhance efficiency by starting off a little lighter on the acceleration. When starting from a stop under normal driving conditions, only electric power is used, resulting in a gentle and sublimely quiet takeoff. As speed increases, the internal combustion engine engages, and when extra acceleration is wanted, power output from both sources is optimized for an even greater boost. In addition to the extra power, Lexus hybrids will also give you longer use of the brake pads, further lowering your cost of ownership. Regenerative braking slows the vehicle when the brakes are applied which helps to recharge the hybrid battery before applying the mechanical brakes that bring the vehicle to a complete stop. This not only enhances the efficiency of the hybrid system but also reduces the wear on the mechanical brakes – giving you brake pads that last much longer and provides the perfect segue for the next benefit of hybrid ownership…

Ease of maintenance. While Lexus hybrid technology is the state of the art, maintaining it is no more demanding than non-hybrid models. You can even get your Lexus hybrid serviced at our award-winning Lexus Service Center near McAllen, Texas, or at any Toyota dealership, giving you more than 1,500 different places you can choose to service your Lexus hybrid.

Lexus hybrids also include an industry-leading Hybrid Battery Warranty* that covers the hybrid battery for 10 years or 150,000 miles, whichever occurs first, on 2020 and newer models. This is in addition to the standard Lexus Hybrid Warranty, which covers other hybrid system components for 8 years or 100,000 miles and further demonstrates the confidence Lexus has in its hybrid technology.

Need another reason to buy a Lexus hybrid? You can enjoy the performance out on the open road thanks to never having to plug it in. Lexus hybrids never need to be plugged in or charged from an external source. The hybrid system uses the onboard generator and regenerative braking to ensure the battery is charged at all times. You will still need to fuel up but you can look forward to fewer trips to the gas station.

Lexus has more experience and history with hybrid technology than any other luxury automaker. Lexus was the first to revolutionize the green-luxury market with the introduction of the 2006 Lexus RX 400h. Boasting responsive acceleration and increased fuel efficiency, the RX 400h reset hybrid expectations and created the foundation on which an entire family of new Lexus models would be built.

Lexus released the world’s first hybrid sports sedan with the 2007 Lexus GS 450h then raised its own bar on luxury and hybrid performance with the 2008 LS 600hL, the world’s first V8 full hybrid sedan. With every new Lexus hybrid model release, Toyota and Lexus engineers have continuously improved the hybrid technology to make it more efficient, compact, lightweight, and powerful. Electric motors have become more powerful yet smaller, the size and weight of the hybrid battery have been reduced significantly to improve efficiency and packaging, and the Power Control Unit (PCU) is 50% smaller and 80% more efficient:

Lexus hybrid technology and popularity have continued to grow since the first Lexus hybrid was released in 2005. Today, the ES 300h and UX 250h utilize a fourth-generation hybrid system and in October 2019, Lexus hybrid sales surpassed 1.6 million units globally. We can only imagine what the Lexus engineers will develop next – stay tuned!

The Lexus hybrid model line-up continues to grow. The diverse lineup offers something to suit almost any driver and is sure to please the entire family.
