2011 Lexus HS 250h, Luxurious & Green
When a person thinks of a Lexus, a person automatically thinks luxury. Unfortunately, luxury cars also have a bad reputation for using up fuel very quickly and for polluting the air badly. The 2011 Lexus HS 250h is changing all of that.

The price of this car stands at an average of just over $35,000 for the basic model but the prices go up as the features are added on. The Premium model sits at just over $37,000 for the base price. These are reasonable prices for the quality that a person receives with this vehicle. It is everything that a person would expect from the comfortable and tasteful interior to the sleek and classy exterior. A person can have all of this without spending a fortune on gasoline expenses. The car runs at an average of 35 miles per gallon with its 2.4 liter, 4 cylinder engine and 147 horsepower. When combined with the electric motor, its output reaches 187 horsepower.
This vehicle runs well wherever the person happens to be driving and in fact, the mpg doesn’t really change much from the city to the highway. It records a 34 mpg rate on the highway and a 35 mpg rate in the city. It saves gas no matter where a person is driving which is unusual for most vehicles.
The Premium edition engine does require high-test gasoline which might be a drawback but the basic version can run on the 87 octane, perhaps a reason to go with the more basic model for some individuals. Whatever the choice, this luxury model proves the name once again.
Even the basic model comes with many features such as LED tail lights, heads up display, power seats, and so on. There are plenty of optional features to choose from as well such as the LED headlights, satellite navigational system that includes traffic, sports, weather and stocks updates, and much more. With a car like this one, it is difficult to go wrong with luxury.

While this vehicle has been noted for its slightly sluggish acceleration and technically the Toyota Prius has a better mileage, for the individual who doesn’t mind the slower start but wants the style, this is a good choice. It is better for the environment and it is easier to pay for.

The Lexus CT 200h is dated to hit the showroom at the last part of February and is showing great promise to consumers already. It is easy to handle and quite practical with a nice cabin to go along with the package. The price sits at almost $30,000 and while this is more expensive than other vehicles, the price is worth it for those who want the style. This price also pays back when the individual is saving on gas funds. The transmission is considered to be very fuel efficient with an 80 horsepower electric motor and a 98 horsepower gasoline engine.
There is plenty of space for luggage which makes it a nice choice for a family but it is stylish enough for the singles that aren’t looking for a family. It is excellent for the car-pool option or for those who just like a lot of space.
This vehicle comes complete as a four door/five passenger hatchback with a leather clad steering wheel, six speaker system, 17inch alloy wheels, a push-button starter, and other features. While the actual type of vehicle may not be popular in the United States yet, this one might have people changing their minds when they see it and when they try it out.
