When we talk about efficiency, we’re not referring solely to fuel economy. Though
while we’re on the subject, the HS 250h has an EPA-combined rating of 35 mpg,14
making it one of the most fuel-efficient luxury vehicles on the road. But efficiency
is about more. It’s about a 2.4-liter Atkinson cycle powerplant at the heart of the
latest Lexus Hybrid Drive system. One which works with the electric motor to deliver
187 total system horsepower while using regular gasoline and keeping emissions
low enough to merit a Super Ultra-Low Emission Vehicle (SULEV II) rating.

In the world of hybrids, there’s suddenly no shortage of newcomers. We’re pleased
our competitors are as excited by this technology as we’ve been for years. But as
they’ll soon discover (in the unlikely event they haven’t already), the hybrid learning
curve is steep. A sedan as efficient and innovative as the HS 250h is the product
of years of trial, error, thinking and, more often than not, rethinking. And while the
HS 250h is one of our newest hybrids, there’s a wealth of history behind it.

Hearing drivers say the HS 250h doesn’t drive like a hybrid wouldn’t

fine-tuned the suspension and steering setup to achieve a level of

Power Steering and the MacPherson strut front suspension deliver a
quick, responsive steering feel, while surprising maneuverability and
control come courtesy of the double-wishbone rear suspension.

other car companies.
PERFORMANCE
From the very start, the design of the HS 250h is conscious of its end.
When possible, we employed materials that are more sustainable to
produce and that emit fewer harmful pollutants when their usefulness
comes to an end. Whether it’s the oil from castor seeds used in the seat
cushions or the kenaf fibers used behind the rear seats, we considered
their environmental impact before, during and after the vehicle’s lifespan.
KENAF. A 4,000-YEAR-OLD

Squeezing unheard-of amounts of efficiency from the design of
the HS 250h15 meant asking if brakes could do more. What if,
while doing their job, they didn’t waste all the energy they let out
in the form of heat? Regenerative braking converts kinetic energy
into electrical energy, then uses it to recharge the battery. So stopand-go city driving becomes stop-and-go-farther city driving.

unavoidable, a warning buzzer and indicator alert the driver. It then prepares
Brake Assist25 for increased brake pressure the moment you depress the
brake pedal. Finally, the system automatically retracts the front seatbelts to
help prepare for impact and applies the brakes, even if the driver doesn’t,
helping reduce crash energy by lowering the vehicle’s speed. And to say it

PERFORMANCE
WE’RE CREATING
1. Lexus Enform® and Safety Connect® available. Contact with the Lexus Enform and/or Safety Connect response center is dependent upon the telematics device being in operative
condition, cellular connection availability, navigation map data and GPS satellite signal reception, which can limit the ability to reach the response center or receive emergency support.
Enrollment and Telematics Subscription Service Agreement required. One-year trial subscription available only with new vehicle purchase of Lexus Enform– and Safety Connect–
equipped vehicles. Additional subscription terms available; charges vary by subscription term selected. 2. Lexus Enform premium services Destination Assist and eDestination will
function in the contiguous United States. These services may also function in Hawaii and limited areas of Alaska for vehicles that contain map data for those states. They will not function
in Canada or in other countries outside the United States. 3. The Safety Connect services Automatic Collision Notification, Emergency Assistance and Stolen Vehicle Location will
function in the United States, including Hawaii and Alaska, and in Canada. Enhanced Roadside Assistance will function in the United States (except for Hawaii) and in Canada. No
Safety Connect services will function outside of the United States in countries other than Canada. 4. Availability and accuracy of the information provided by the Navigation System
or any XM services mentioned (if installed) are dependent upon many factors. Use common sense when relying on information provided. Services not available in every city or
roadway. Periodic Navigation updates available at additional cost. Please see your Navigation System Owner’s Manual or contact XM for details. 5. Be sure to obey traffic regulations
and maintain awareness of road and traffic conditions. 6. The Wide Front-view Monitor does not provide a comprehensive view of the front area of the vehicle. You should also look
around outside your vehicle and use your mirrors to confirm clearance. Cold weather will limit effectiveness and view may become cloudy. 7. The Driver Attention Monitor is designed
to alert the driver if a potential hazard is detected ahead and the driver’s face appears to be turned away. It is not a collision-avoidance system and is not a substitute for safe and
attentive driving. System effectiveness depends on many factors. Please see your Owner’s Manual for further information. 8. Coverage only available in the continental U.S. and
Canada. Please see your Lexus dealer for details. 9. All the airbag (AB) systems are Supplemental Restraint Systems. All ABs (if installed) are designed to inflate only under certain
conditions and in certain types of severe collisions: frontal and knee ABs typically inflate in frontal collisions; side and side curtain ABs in side collisions; Roll-Sensing Curtain ABs at a
severe tilt degree, roll or lateral G-force. In all other accidents, the ABs will not inflate. To decrease the risk of injury from an inflating AB, always wear seatbelts, sit upright in the middle
of the seat as far back as possible and do not lean against the door. Do not put objects in front of an AB or around the seatback. Do not use a rearward-facing child seat in any front
passenger seat. The force of an inflating AB may cause serious injury or death. Please see your Owner’s Manual for further information/warnings. 10. XM services require a
subscription after trial period. Subscriptions governed by XM Customer Agreement available at xmradio.com. If you decide to continue your XM service at the end of your
complimentary trial, the plan you choose will automatically renew and bill at then-current rates unless you call 1-800-967-2346 to cancel. Fees and programming subject to
change. Available only to those at least 18 years of age in the 48 contiguous United States and D.C. 11. Bluetooth® technology phones listed on lexus.com have been tested for
compatibility with Lexus vehicles. Performance will vary based on phone software version, coverage and your wireless carrier. Phones are warranted by their manufacturer, not Lexus.
12. Lane Keep Assist is designed to read the lane markers of certain roads and apply slight torque to the steering wheel to help keep the car in the center of the lane. If the vehicle
approaches the outer limits of its lane, the Lane Departure Warning feature sounds a warning tone and applies slight torque to the steering wheel to notify the driver that corrective
action may be required. These features are not a collision-avoidance system and are not a substitute for safe and attentive driving. System effectiveness depends on many factors.
Please see your Owner’s Manual for further information. 13. The backup camera does not provide a comprehensive view of the rear area of the vehicle. You should also look around
outside your vehicle and use your mirrors to confirm rearward clearance. Cold weather will limit effectiveness and view may become cloudy. 14. EPA MPG Estimates. Actual mileage
will vary. 15. 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. 16. Based on www.
fueleconomy.gov Carbon Footprint Calculations. 17. Calculation based on vehicle life cycle, including CO2 emissions of vehicle and materials, production, maintenance, disposal and
driving over 150,000 miles compared to conventional non-hybrid gasoline vehicle of similar size-class. 18. Compared to typical non-hybrid gasoline vehicles. 19. Cargo and load
capacity limited by weight and distribution. 20. The SmartAccess system may interfere with some pacemakers or cardiac defibrillators. If you have one of these medical devices, please
talk to your doctor to see if you should deactivate this system. 21. The engine immobilizer is a state-of-the-art anti-theft system. When you insert your key into the ignition switch or
bring a SmartAccess fob into the vehicle, the key transmits an electronic code to the vehicle. The engine will only start if the code in the transponder chip inside the key or SmartAccess
fob matches the code in the vehicle’s immobilizer. Because the transponder chip is embedded in the key or SmartAccess fob, it can be costly to replace. If you lose a key or SmartAccess
fob, your Lexus dealer can help. Alternatively, you can find a qualified independent locksmith to perform high-security key services by consulting your local Yellow Pages or by
contacting www.aloa.org. 22. Mark Levinson is a registered trademark of Harman International Industries, Inc. 23. The Adaptive Front Lighting System can help improve vision at
night. However, conditions such as dirty windshield, rapidly changing light conditions or hilly terrain will limit effectiveness so the driver may need to manually change the high beams
from on to off. Please see your Owner’s Manual for details. 24. The Pre-Collision System is designed to help reduce the crash speed and damage in certain frontal collisions only. It is
not a collision-avoidance system and is not a substitute for safe and attentive driving. System effectiveness depends on many factors, such as speed, driver input and road conditions.
Please see your Owner’s Manual for further information. 25. Brake Assist is designed to help the driver take full advantage of the benefits of ABS. It is not a substitute for safe driving
practices. Braking effectiveness also depends on proper brake-system maintenance and tire and road conditions. 26. Dynamic Radar Cruise Control is designed to assist the driver
and is not a substitute for safe and attentive driving practices. Please see your Owner’s Manual for important instructions and cautions. 27. Active headrests can help reduce the extent
of whiplash in certain types of rear-end collisions. 28. 17-in performance tires are expected to experience greater tire wear than conventional tires. Tire life may be substantially less
than 20,000 miles, depending upon driving conditions. 29. 18-in performance tires are expected to experience greater tire wear than conventional tires. Tire life may substantially be
less than 15,000 miles, depending upon driving conditions. 30. Performance figures are for comparison only and were obtained with prototype vehicles by professional drivers using
special safety equipment and procedures. Do not attempt. 31. The Lexus Personalized Settings (LPS) can be programmed in two ways: For most models equipped with the available
Navigation System, the driver can modify the settings themselves; for other models, including those without a Navigation System, programming is done by your Lexus dealer via a
one-time, complimentary offer during the first 12 months from the date the vehicle is sold. Please see your Lexus dealer for more information. 32. iPod® is a registered trademark of
Apple Inc. All rights reserved. 33. Bluetooth audio device must be enabled with A2DP and AVRCP. 34. Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) is an electronic system designed to help the
driver maintain vehicle control under adverse conditions. It is not a substitute for safe driving practices. Factors including speed, road conditions and driver steering input can all affect
whether VSC will be effective in preventing a loss of control. Please see your Owner’s Manual for further details. 35. The Tire Pressure Monitor System alerts the driver when tire
pressure is critically low. For optimal tire wear and performance, tire pressure should be checked regularly with a gauge; do not rely solely on the monitor system. Please see your
Owner’s Manual for details. 36. The intelligent high-beam headlamps can help improve vision at night. However, conditions such as a dirty windshield, rapidly changing light conditions
or hilly terrain will limit effectiveness so the driver may need to manually change the high beams from on to off. Please see your Owner’s Manual for details. 37. Continuous average
power, all channels driven, at less than 0.1% THD; 20–20,000 Hz. 38. Currently only available pre-installed on select vehicles. Ask your Dealer Sales Consultant for vehicle
application. 39. To avoid interference with pedal operation, do not install a floor mat on top of an existing floor mat, and each mat must be secured with retention hooks (clips). This
floor mat was designed specifically for use in this model and model year vehicle and SHOULD NOT be used in any other vehicle.
