LEXUS HYBRID

THE WORLD’S FAVOURITE LUXURY HYBRID

We’re pioneers too, using our experience of combining electric motors and fuel engines into our hybrid technology since 2004, to bring you the smart efficiency and drive you’d expect from Lexus.

We’re always looking at new ways to craft the future, and our love of innovation is why we’ve got the largest range of hybrid vehicles of any luxury manufacturer, with over one million Lexus hybrids sold to date.

Discover the benefits of Lexus Hybrid below and see why so many drivers have already made the smart choice.

E-CVT

Electronically controlled continuously variable transmission (E-CVT) is an intelligent transmission which offers an infinite number of gears within a broad range of ratios, allowing for automatic gear changes. By constantly analysing vehicle speed, road conditions, engine power and driver input, it selects the optimal (most efficient) gear ratio for that precise moment. When that moment passes, it moves seamlessly to the next ratio.

E-CVT works in harmony with the Lexus Self-Charging Hybrid technology, simultaneously handling inputs from both the petrol engine and the electric motor. Without the constraining effect of fixed gear ratios, the engine can be operated at its most efficient speed to either propel the car or charge the batteries. If the computer decides that the petrol motor is not needed for a time, it can be shut down and the E-CVT used to direct propulsion from the electric motors to the wheels instead.

E-CVT transmission can be found in the CT, IS, NX, RX, RX L and RC.
