New for 2010 Lexus HS 250h

The 2010 Lexus HS 250h is an all-new vehicle powered by the latest Lexus hybrid system that combines the first 4-cylinder engine in a Lexus with two electric motors; one to assist the gasoline engine and the second to act as a starter motor and generator to charge the battery. The HS 250h achieves an EPA-estimated rating of 35 mpg combined and incorporates a drive-mode switch that allows the driver to select between four modes: Normal, Power, Eco and EV, and under certain circumstances can be driven in EV mode only. The standard supplemental restraint system includes 10 airbags and 30 percent of the interior trim and trunk materials use sustainable ecological plastics.
ConsumerReports.org® Short Take
Based on the Toyota Avensis, which is sold in markets outside the U.S., the HS hybrid is smaller than the Toyota Camry and uses the powertrain from the hybrid Camry. It comes with a lot of standard equipment and will have far more luxury features than the Camry hybrid or Prius. In our tests of the Camry hybrid we got 34 mpg overall. The HS hybrid goes on sale this summer.
