STARTING FROM STOP
All electric. Instant torque.
Lexus Self-Charging Hybrid Electrics are ready when you are, without ever needing to plug-in to recharge - simply press the power button and go. During initial take-off, the high-output battery and electric motor provide all the power you need - enhancing fuel efficiency while lowering CO2 emissions.
ACCELERATING
Gas & electric. Powerful acceleration. Smooth ride.
As you accelerate and require more power, the gas engine is automatically engaged. The revolutionary Lexus Hybrid Drive optimizes power from both sources. Leveraging the Electronic Continuously Variable Transmission (eCVT), you’ll experience instantaneous response and powerful acceleration with a seamless transition between gas and electric motor.
CRUISING
Optimized power flows. Fuel efficient at all speeds. Recharging on the go.
At cruising speeds, the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) sends power to the drive wheels and an electric generator. Excess energy is used to help re-charge the hybrid battery, while the ideal combination of gas and electric power helps you get more out of every fill-up.
REGENERATIVE BRAKING
Electric mode. Reduced emissions. Regenerative braking.
Take your foot off the gas pedal, or press the brake pedal, and the regenerative braking system recovers some of the kinetic energy lost - conserving fuel and reducing emissions*. This energy is then converted to electricity that is then used to recharge the battery - so you never need to plug-in.
AT A STOP ALL ELECTRIC. SILENT OPERATION.
When you come to a stop, the gas engine may switch off, saving fuel and minimizing emissions*. If the hybrid battery is running low, the gas engine knows to start, generating the energy required to charge the battery. Press the accelerator, and the virtuous cycle begins anew.

* Disclaimer: The gas engine does not automatically switch off in all cases. It is dependent on many operating conditions.

We haven’t just imagined an electric future. For 15 years, we’ve been crafting one. Today we offer a range of Hybrid Electric vehicles that give you total freedom, with no compromise on luxury, power or performance. With an even brighter electrified future to come. This is Lexus. Electrified.

INTRODUCTION TO
LEXUS SELF-CHARGING HYBRID ELECTRICS
NO NEED TO PLUG-IN. NO NEED TO CHANGE DRIVING HABITS. NO COMPROMISE IN PERFORMANCE OR FUEL EFFICIENCY.
Lexus Self-Charging Hybrid Electrics are electrified vehicles with some potent differences over pure battery electrics. With a Lexus Hybrid Electric, you never need to plug-in, worry about where the next charging station might be, or change your driving habits in any way. Just get in and go.

WORLD’S FIRST. WORLDS APART.
Lexus introduced RX Hybrid Electric - the world’s first luxury self-charging hybrid electric - more than a decade ago. Since then, we’ve continued to push boundaries and pursue new innovations. Today, we offer more luxury hybrid electrics than any other manufacturer in Canada. Test drive one for yourself and find out what millions of Lexus Hybrid Electric drivers around the world have already discovered - power, exercised wisely, is a beautiful thing.

RX Hybrid Electric is not only the original self-charging hybrid electric luxury SUV, it is also built at our internationally renowned plant in Cambridge, Ontario. With features like AWD and heated rear seats, it’s the ideal vehicle for life in Canada - and just one of many great Lexus Hybrid Electrics to choose from.

TECHNOLOGY
Lexus Self-Charging Hybrid Electrics combine a technologically advanced gas engine with a powerful battery and electric motor(s), and the intelligence to automatically select the best combination of gas and electric based on your driving needs. Because the battery re-charges both as you drive and during braking, you never need to take time out to plug-in, and you’ll visit the gas pumps less often when compared to a conventionally powered Lexus.

PERFORMANCE
Lexus Self-Charging Hybrid Electrics deliver an extraordinary blend of power and fuel efficiency; breathtaking acceleration and supremely quiet ride; engaging driving dynamics and blissful peace of mind.
