Make way for the first luxury hybrid- the Lexus HS 250h. Contrary to reports that this vehicle is a hybrid, it is actually a new Lexus model which is pegged to be one of the most fuel-efficient cars in its lineup.
They say MPG will be “higher than the Smart microcar,” which is currently rated at 33 city/41 highway. With a decent sized four-cylinder 2.4-liter engine that produces 187 horsepower, that’s an accomplishment.
Also, score one for eco-friendly concerns as most of its upholstery features are made from eco plastics. 30% of the interior and cargo area utilizes eco plastics and 85% of the HS, including the battery, is recyclable.
So not only is the Lexus HS 250h a fuel-efficient car, it answers all queries that may be hurled on it regarding eco-friendly social responsibilities that most critics normally ask.
