A look at hybrids, clean diesels, and EVs rolling out for 2010
2010 Lexus HS 250h and Lexus RX 450h
Toyota begat Lexus about two decades ago, and as goes Toyota, so goes Lexus. The luxury division has had hybrids in its lineup for some time now, and the first Lexus hybrid, the RX, got a significant revision for the 2010 model year, boasting more power, better fuel economy and revised but still familiar styling. Then there's the 2010 Lexus HS 250h, the first dedicated hybrid vehicle from any luxury brand. Boasting the same drivetrain as the Toyota Camry Hybrid, the HS 250h is otherwise an all-new vehicle, with compact styling that's maybe too similar to the Corolla for some tastes.
