Powered by a 5.0-liter V8 engine and a high-output, electric-drive motor, the LS 600h L is capable of producing 438 total system horsepower [1].

By injecting gasoline directly into the engine’s combustion chamber, better power is achieved, as well as improved mileage.

This transmission provides smooth, seamless acceleration and helps the engine and motor to operate at peak efficiency.

During braking, energy that would normally be lost as heat is captured as electrical power to recharge the battery.

An electric motor is used to power the steering, making it smoother and more efficient.

From the power of Lexus Hybrid Drive to the efficiency of regenerative braking, take a tour through the inner workings of a Lexus Hybrid.

This feature [2] allows the LS 600h L to run solely on the electric motor, producing low noise and zero emissions.

With all-wheel drive, the LS 600h L provides improved traction and control.

This braking system includes an electronic parking brake, a brake hold feature and is also available with high-friction brake pads [3].

A driving mode that helps reduce the vehicle's overall power consumption for enhanced fuel efficiency.

The engine's valve timing is continuously adjusted to help provide optimum power at any speed.

The LS 600h L is certified as a Super Ultra-Low Emission Vehicle (SULEV II).

With Adaptive Variable Air Suspension (AVS), you can adjust the feel of your ride to suit your preference: Normal, Comfort or Sport.

Variable Gear-Ratio Steering (VGRS) adjusts the steering ratio based on the vehicle’s speed.

[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]CAUTION! When driving a hybrid vehicle, pay special attention to the area around the vehicle. Because there is little vehicle noise in electric-only mode, pedestrians, people riding bicycles or other people and vehicles in the area may not be aware of the vehicle starting off or approaching them, so take extra care while driving. [3]High-friction brakes are standard equipment for the front brakes only and require periodic inspection and measurement as outlined in the Warranty and Services Guide. The pads and rotors are expected to experience greater wear than conventional brakes. Pad life may be less than 20,000 miles, and brake rotor life may be less than 50,000 miles depending on driving conditions. Back to top
