Lexus PH boasts hybrid lineup, hints at RZ electric vehicle's arrival

MANILA: For over 15 years, Lexus has specialized in hybrid vehicles, whose near-silent powertrains provide a dynamic driving experience while protecting the planet.

Today, the road to electrified future in the Philippines is already being paved by the current crop of Lexus hybrid models. 

The Lexus LS flagship sedan, IS sport sedan, RX SUV, and NX crossover feature hybrid technologies that minimize vehicle emissions and the harmful effect they can have on people, animals, and the environment, while simultaneously enhance personal mobility.

The LS 500h flagship model is equipped with the new Lexus Multi Stage Hybrid System. This technology transforms the performance and driver appeal of hybrids, providing improved responsiveness and more rewarding, linear acceleration, particularly when moving off from stationary. 

The new IS 300h sport sedan was born and bred at the Shimoyama Technical Center Test Track—where the toughest and most challenging roads in the world have been recreated. The outcome is an IS lineup that is agile and provocative, while the hybrid IS 300h thoroughly espouses the Lexus DNA.  

As for the RX 450h, it makes a bold and completely new statement in this segment, while staying true to the pioneering values of previous hybrid RX generations. The NX 300h also features the Lexus Multi Stage Hybrid System bringing a new level of technology and a heightened driving experience to a Lexus crossover. 

As part of the Lexus transition to battery-electric vehicles (BEV), the RZ embodies the unique Lexus vehicle design and driving experience brought on by advanced electrification technology.

The Lexus RZ is a showcase of advanced driver technologies that will eventually find its way to all Lexus models in the future. The RZ has been developed with the aim of creating a uniquely Lexus BEV that feels secure to ride in, is pleasing to the touch, and is exhilarating to drive.

"It won’t be long until its technology becomes available to Filipino customers," Lexus Philippines hinted in its release.
