Self-charging hybrid explained

  1. Smoother Start

    Just get in and go. From the moment you take to the driver’s seat, turn on the engine and the Lexus Self-Charging Hybrid will be ready, without the need to plug in or charge overnight. City driving is where fully electric EV mode comes into its own.

  2. How do Electric and Petrol work together?

    In a Lexus Self-Charging Hybrid there are two power sources, a combustion petrol engine and an electric battery. As you drive, the car seamlessly combines the petrol and electric power.

  3. How does a Lexus self-charging car charge?

    Most of the time you’re driving, your battery is charging. Not just on the move, but when you stop or slow down, our regenerative braking system recovers even more energy without you having to do a thing. Lexus Self-charging hybrids never need plugging in.

What's it like to drive a self-charging hybrid?

Lexus self-charging hybrids are engineered for both efficiency and dynamic performance.
