LEXUS ELECTRIFIED
SELF-CHARGING HYBRID VEHICLES
Lexus Self-Charging Hybrids offer the same sophisticated luxury as other electrified vehicles, but with the added freedom of no plug needed to recharge. Uncover the benefits below and select the Lexus hybrid that suits you.
EXCEPTIONALLY ENERGY-EFFICIENT
GENTLER TO THE PLANET
Thanks to a seamless combination of a conventional petrol engine and electric motor, Lexus Self-Charging Hybrids exceed in efficiency. Drive in EV mode up to 50%* of the time which uses only the electric motor, producing low emissions and almost zero particle emissions.
* "Up to 50%” EV mode driving is based on average urban driving conditions. Actual EV driving time may vary depending on driving style, road conditions, and vehicle load. Lexus Self-Charging Hybrids combine petrol engines with electric motors and are not zero-emissions vehicles. Emissions figures refer to regulated laboratory testing and may differ in real-world conditions. “Almost zero particle emissions” refers to reduced particulate output compared to conventional petrol and diesel vehicles.
ENGINEERED FOR SUSTAINABILITY
EXCEPTIONALLY EFFICIENT
Enjoy lower mobility costs thanks to reduced maintenance, tax advantages and more stable electricity prices with our self-charging hybrid cars. And with fewer emissions than petrol or diesel vehicles, you can drive with greater peace of mind.
ELECTRIFIED WITHOUT COMPROMISE
CONVENIENT IN EVERY WAY
No plug. No compromise. No delay. Charging on the go and always prepared for an escapade, Lexus Self-Charging Hybrids are designed to elevate the freedom of driving. Feel comfort and ease on another level thanks to smoother driving and award-winning reliability.
HOW DOES SELF-CHARGING HYBRID WORK?
Balancing the world’s most efficient petrol engine with a powerful yet compact electric motor, Lexus Self-Charging Hybrids bring together advanced power and efficiency.
Eliminating the need to plug your vehicle in, they conveniently and effortlessly charge whilst you journey for uninterrupted freedom. Plus, the regenerative braking system recovers power when you stop or slow down, storing electricity in the hybrid battery for later use. And as the petrol engine takes over when the battery is empty, you never need to worry about battery range.
Constantly monitoring driving conditions to select the best power source or blend of petrol and electric, your Lexus Self-Charging Hybrid will achieve maximum performance no matter the road. For nimble driving in cities, the fully electric EV mode is ideal. And for moments when extra power is needed, the petrol engine comes into play to smoothly deliver acceleration.
For those who prefer to drive in 100% EV mode at all times and have access to at-home charging, an all-electric vehicle will fit into your lifestyle seamlessly. Find out more about the difference between Lexus all-electric and hybrid vehicles.
