Used Hybrid Cars - Classifieds

Lexus will be displaying the Lexus LS 600h at the Geneva motor show in March.  The LS 600h shows how power can be delivered with supreme efficiency, setting new standards in environmentally-conscious performance in the premium segment.

The new LS 600h is the highest expression of current automobile technology. Its 5.0-litre V8 uses Lexus’s D-4S technology, with two fuel injectors per cylinder and VVTi-E intelligent valve timing on the intake to boost performance and reduce emissions, noise and vibration.

These characteristics are further refined by Lexus’s hybrid system. This combination, together with a unique, electrically-controlled continuously variable transmission, delivers performance typical of a normally-aspirated V12. At the same time, combined fuel consumption is 29.7mpg and carbon dioxide emissions are 220g/km, figures which compare well with the levels achieved by the cleanest diesels in the segment.

The dual-stage, CVT gearbox gives the LS 600h smooth, linear power delivery and seamless acceleration. It is matched to the all-wheel drivetrain with a central mechanical Torsen limited slip differential to give excellent handling stability in high performance driving.

In addition, Lexus will present its first long wheelbase model, the LS 600h L, offering unprecedented entertainment and relaxation features for rear seat passengers, including a reclining seat with leg and footrest.

Toyota

Toyota is also focusing on its vision for sustainable mobility at the Geneva motor show, with two contrasting new hybrid power concept cars making their debut.

Geneva will mark the world debut of Hybrid X, a concept car that proposes a new design language for Toyota hybrid models although Toyota are remaining tight lipped for now.
