Overview
Cars like the 2011 Lexus LS 600h L HybridSedan 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 L Hybrid uses its 5.0L V8 engine, two electric motor hybrid systems, and 288V nickel metal hydride battery to produce 438 horsepower. This gives the LS 600h a 0-60 of 5.5 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 2011 LS 600h L Hybrid achieves a combined fuel economy of 20 MPG. As part of the fullsize sedan, the LS 600h L Hybrid competes with the Mercedes-Benz S-Class Hybrid Sedan and the BMW ActiveHybrid 7 Sedan. It offers a single trim with a starting MSRP of $112,250.
