The Lexus HS 250h can be driven on battery power or with a combination of engine and electric performance.
Lexus HS 250h: a Functional, Small
Car that Happens to be a Hybrid
The littlest Lexus may become
the biggest seller.
The HS 250h is a compact, twomode hybrid sedan capable of 35
mpg around town and 34 on the
highway. Pricing starts at a $35,075
and can push nearly $50,000 with
options for the Premium model,
today’s test car.
Lexus has had limited success
with some of its hybrids, the GS
450h, LS 600h and RX 450h, the
latter of which has been the most
popular of the group. The debate
for consumers is price and that the
company’s standard models are
just so efficient that absorbing the
added cost of a hybrid doesn’t
make economic sense.
The HS will be different because
it is a right-sized car, roomier in
some aspects than the ES 350
sedan ($35,675) and it is like driving the future. It is greenery without
the hype.
It feels perfectly normal to be
able to drive on complete battery
power or to hit the Power switch
and kick up the acceleration. And
when there is no rush, the Eco
mode rewards with maximum fuel
efficiency and lower emissions.
This is not the traditional driver’s
car and it cannot be considered
sporty to drive. But for adherents of
hyper-miling, it is engaging to apply
the various modes to slow the
movement of the fuel gauge and
ease the beat of emissions-pumping cylinders.
Cautious drivers will keep an eye
on the efficiency meter to maximize
economy; they will learn to use the
braking mode to recapture enginebraking energy; and, of course,
they will take it easy on takeoffs.
And a majority of other users
could care less.
It is enough for them to know
that they are getting good mileage,
no matter how they drive. With a
14.5-gallon tank, the cruising range
is considerable.
The HS is not a remake of the
Toyota Prius. The HS 250h is
sourced from a unique platform in
Japan that uses a powertrain
based on that in the Camry hybrid.
Its fuel economy of 35 mpg city
and 34 highway is a tick better than
the Camry, but significantly off the
51 mpg city for the Prius.
The 3,770-pound HS Premium
weighs 700 pounds more than
Prius. And it outpowers Prius with
187 horses from the engine and
electric motors.
But it still drives like the new
Prius and feels much like it inside,
which is more luxurious than a typical Toyota. The HS appears to be
less posh than a typical Lexus and
more functional in its materials.
The Lexus effect is in the standard equipment, which includes
leather-trimmed seats, a 10-way
power driver seat, eight-way power
front passenger seat, moonroof,
10-speaker audio system and 10
air bags, including front knee bags.
Compared with Prius, the Lexus
HS is 9 inches longer, 1.5 inches
wider and a half-inch taller. But by
the numbers, the Prius has more
interior room, back-seat legroom and
trunk space. Still, the HS has a flat
floor in the second row and adult
seating in all three bench positions.
As easy as this car is to drive, a
mouse-like controller to access various cabin functions was so touch
sensitive it was tedious to master. I
could only practice while the car
was stopped, otherwise I’d fixate
on the screen to make my hand
move the cursor to the desired
area. And it didn’t get easier after
seven days of working with it. The
owner will do much better with a
tutorial at the dealership.
It seemed out of place to have a
mechanical parking brake in such
an icon of electronic efficiency. And
for my eyes, the electrochromic
side mirrors were too dark at night.
The HS is a new direction for
Lexus. It isn’t a pampering product
but an upscale statement of function and efficiency. It doesn’t
scream look at me, I’m driving a
green car. And a lot of people may
be ready to be a little more subtle
in their approach to saving the
planet.
