LS Hybrid Model Details

Searching for the most prestigious luxury hybrid? Look no further. The LS 600h L is the flagship model in the Lexus vehicle lineup. The LS Hybrid offers unparalleled luxury with the power of a V12 from its Lexus Hybrid Drive system. Mating a 5.0-liter V8 gas engine with a high-output electric-drive motor, the LS Hybrid puts out 438 total system horsepower [1], propelling it from 0 to 60 in 5.5 seconds [1] [2]. This is achieved while also producing less emissions than its competitors, making the LS Hybrid qualify as a Super Ultra-Low Emission Vehicle (SULEV II).

For 2009, the LS Hybrid remains largely unchanged on the exterior. Interior revisions include the addition of the memory function for the front passenger. The LS Hybrid is available with an Executive-Class Seating Package that includes a right-rear-seat recliner with multi-function massager and leg rest [3] [4], rear center-console wood-trimmed table and a DVD Rear Seat Entertainment System (RSES).

[1]Ratings achieved using the required premium unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 91 or higher. If premium fuel is not used, performance will decrease. [2]Performance figures are for comparison only and were obtained with prototype vehicles by professional drivers using special safety equipment and procedures. Do not attempt. [3]Leg rest may not fully recline based on height of rear-seat passenger. Do not allow passengers to sit in a seat that has been fully or severely reclined while driving. This feature is intended for use only when the vehicle is parked. While the vehicle is being driven, all vehicle occupants should have the seatback upright, sit well back in the seat and properly wear the seatbelts provided. In the event of a collision, the more the seat is reclined, the greater the risk of death or personal injury. Please see your Owner's Manual for additional information. [4]If leg rest is in use, seating capacity could be reduced from four to three passengers. [5]MSRP does not include delivery, processing and handling fee of $875. Excludes taxes, title, license and optional equipment. Dealer price may vary. [6]"Delivery, processing and handling fee" is based on the value of the processing, handling and delivery services Lexus provides, as well as Lexus' overall pricing structure.
