Overview
Cars like the 2019 Lexus LS 500h Sedan might not be able to give you the direct benefits one might expect from its hybrid powertrain. However, its usefulness must not be overlooked. The LS 500h uses its 3.5L Twin-Turbo V6 engine and dual-motor hybrid system and a lithium-ion battery to produce 354 horsepower. This gives the LS 500h a 0-60 of 5.1 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 2019 LS 500h achieves a combined fuel economy of 28 MPG. As part of the fullsize sedan, the LS 500h competes with the Audi A8 which has a mild hybrid system. Meanwhile, the BMW 7 Series and the Mercedes-Benz S-Class have a plug-in hybrid system. It offers one trim with an MSRP of $79,960.
