Overview
Cars like the 2011 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 Lexus HS 250h Sedan uses its 2.4L Inline-4 engine along with a pair of electric motors to produce 187 horsepower via a continuously variable transmission (CVT). 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 midsize sedan, the Lexus HS 250h competes primarily only with the Lincoln MKZ Hybrid and indirectly with the slightly cheaper Ford Fusion Hybrid, and the Toyota Camry Hybrid. It is offered in a single trim, starting off at an MSRP of $36,330.
