Overview
Cars like the 2012 Lexus HS 250h Sedan might not be able to give you the direct benefits one might expect from its hybrid powertrain. However, its use must not be overlooked. The 2012 Lexus HS 250h Sedan uses its 2.4L Inline-4 engine along with a pair of electric motors to produce 187 horsepower. This gives the Lexus HS 250h a 0-60 of 8.7 seconds. The hybrid engine here is to support the gasoline engine to boost performance and offer slightly better fuel economy than what a single gasoline engine would be capable of. That said, the Lexus HS 250h achieves a combined fuel economy of 35 MPG. As part of the compact sedan, the Lexus HS 250h competes with the Honda Civic Hybrid and you can also consider the Kia Optima Hybrid and the Toyota Camry Hybrid from the midsize sedan segment.
