Hybrid Lexus GS 450H

"Coming Soon"

The 2007 Lexus GS 450h car rental from SymplyHybrid.com is the second foray into the hybrid market for the Lexus division of the Toyota Motor Corporation, the first being last year's RX 400h sport utility.

Hybrids can be designed for fuel economy like the Toyota Prius, or for increased power like the Honda Accord Hybrid. The Lexus GS 450h, which uses a 3.5-liter V6 engine and a high-output electric motor driving the rear wheels to place the horsepower at the level of a V8 engine, falls squarely into the latter category. It is the fastest model of the Lexus GS series.

Standard Equipment:

• 3.5-liter V6 gas engine coupled with a high-output electric-drive motor, producing 340 total net HP
• Electronically controlled Continuously Variable Transmission (ECVT)
• Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management (VDIM) advanced stability management
• Traction control
• Regenerative braking to capture energy and recharge the battery
