It combines a 1.8-litre petrol engine with a powerful electric motor, which together produce a unique mix of fuel economy, class-leading CO emissions and fantastic performance, whilst at the same time as being kinder to the environment.

Full Hybrid Technology from Lexus:

Lexus is the only brand that offers a whole range of cars with full hybrid technology which includes the RX 450H pioneering luxury vehicle, the GS 450H the world’s first full hybrid performance saloon and the LS 600H world's first full hybrid luxury saloon. They are unlike mild hybrids and are capable of driving in full electric vehicle mode during which time no fuel is burnt, zero emissions are produced and the drive is near to silent.

Lexus is one of the world’s leading premium and luxury car manufacturers. When it comes to the environment Lexus has a considerable responsibility and this is why the Lexus range of full hybrid cars have lower emissions and are kinder to the environment compared to other premium sector vehicles.

The Lexus IS 250C Convertible:

Following on from the award-winning design of the IS Sports Saloon and the ultra-high performance IS F, the new Lexus IS 250C is the latest addition to the IS range. The Lexus IS 250C is appealing in its simplicity; is full of sporting elegance; and has uncompromised driving dynamics. It maintains the Lexus hallmarks of top end performance, stylish looks and luxury interior features.

The IS 250C’s folding roof has a lightweight aluminium structure and it boasts the fastest opening time for this type of convertible roof design, folding away in just 21 seconds. The compact packaging of the folding mechanism takes up minimal space in the boot so more load space, ample rear seat access and spacious accommodation for rear seated passengers.

The IS 250 Convertible is powered by a proven 2.5 litre engine which produces 205 bhp and is also used in Lexus’s IS Saloon sibling. The IS 250C’s styling offers minimal wind turbulence when driving with the roof down and revisions to the suspension and structure provide the right amount of torsional stiffness which will make sure of a good level ride comfort that is expected in a Lexus.
