Your Guide to Electrified Driving: Lexus Hybrids and More

If you've been considering a Lexus hybrid or similarly electrified vehicle, you may wonder how it differs from a car with an internal combustion engine. Beyond its improved fuel efficiency, choosing an electrified vehicle offers several great benefits that make it more than worth considering. To learn more about your options, visit us at Lexus of Valencia today.

Types of Electric Vehicles

You'll find three main categories of electrified vehicles in our showroom. The first, most basic, is a hybrid model like the Lexus ES 300h. These vehicles have a gas-powered engine and an electric motor supported by a battery pack. Most of the time, you'll still be traveling with gas, but at low speeds or when cruising, the electric motor will assist you and save gas.

Plug-in hybrid vehicles like the Lexus NX 450h Plus have a much larger battery that allows you to travel fully on electricity as needed. Like hybrids, these vehicles feature regenerative braking to extend your range as you drive. However, you can also plug in your vehicle overnight to regain a full charge.

Finally, there are fully electric vehicles like the Lexus RZ. These cars lack a combustion engine but can travel up to 400 miles using only electricity. You'll also have access to DC fast charging stations where you can regain a massive amount of battery power in mere minutes.

Lexus EV Benefits

If you purchase an electrified Lexus vehicle, you'll receive several owner benefits. The Lexus App lets you track your current charge status and find the nearest public fast-charging station while on a road trip. Furthermore, each vehicle is certified by Lexus to inform you of its emissions - Ultra-Low, Super Ultra-Low, Partial-Zero Emission, or Zero Emission. You'll have access to the Clean Assist program with an active Remote Connect™ subscription. In certain locations, you can also offset your vehicle charging with 100% renewable energy.
