Lexus Hybrid Cars by James Gunaseelan As the world begins to embrace hybrid technology, more automakers are moving into the new technology. However, one of the initial manufacturers of hybrid vehicles has recognized the need to meet the public demand for a better quality, more powerful hybrid. In 2007, Lexus hybrid cars hit the showrooms combining power, hybrid fuel economy and luxury, all rolled up in one attractive package. The RX Luxury hybrid sport utility vehicle, unveiled in 2007, offers an impressive 3.3L V-6 engine with an output of a combined 268 horsepower taking it from zero to 60 in 6.9 seconds. As a sport utility vehicle, it is equipped with front wheel drive and part-time all wheel drive making it one of the Lexus hybrid cars that doubles as a true sport vehicle. With 37 miles per gallon in the city and 27 on the highway, it is very conservative when compared to similar vehicles. The 340 horsepower, V-6 GS performance luxury sedan gets a respectful 25 miles in the city and 23 on the highway out of its 340 horsepower power plant. This rear wheel drive is th quickest of the Lexus hybrid cars going from zero to 60 in just 5.2 short seconds. Coming in 2008 is the LS Prestige hybrid luxury sedan than boasts acceleration of zero to 60 miles per hour in 5.5 seconds. Its 5.oL V-8 engine produces a powerful 438 horsepower will achieving 20 miles per gallon in the city and 22 on the highway. Many of the same luxury options Lexus owners have come to expect from this luxury vehicle company are also available on the Lexus hybrid cars, including the rear camera and automatic parking system. Safety features are built into every vehicle made by Lexus and now with its greener drive train, it not only saves fuel when compared to similarly equipped vehicles, it remains in a luxury class of it own. Being competitive in the automotive market is important to maintain market share in any auto class. However, with Lexus hybrid cars people are finding the luxury they demand as well as the lower pollution, environmentally friendly vehicles they want to drive.Many luxury car owners are willing to sacrifice slightly for a vehicle that will help protect the air they breath, but may not be willing to give up the luxury they believe they deserve. With the new line of Lexus hybrid cars, they can now have both.
