Overview
Cars like the 2015 Lexus LS 600h 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 LS 600h uses its 5.0L V8 engine and two electric motor hybrid system, and a nickel-metal hydride battery to produce 438 horsepower. This gives the LS 600h a 0-60 of 5.6 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 2015 LS 600h achieves a combined fuel economy of 20 MPG. As part of the fullsize sedan, the LS 600h competes with the BMW ActiveHybrid 7 Sedan which is less expensive. Buyers could also consider the Mercedes-Benz S-Class S-Class Hybrid Sedan which happens to be a Plug-in Hybrid. Lexus offers LS 600h in a single trim, starting off at an MSRP of $120,440.
