New model of a hybrid car in the GS family from Lexus

At the Shanghai Motor Show, the Lexus concern presented its latest hybrid model of the GS 300H car in the sedan back. We hasten to remind you that Lexus already has a 450h hybrid in this family, which is simultaneously equipped with gasoline and electric motors, together they are able to develop speed to 345 horsepower. In our country, Lexus GS is sold only with rear -wheel drive and develops a speed of 100 kilometers per hour in 5.9 seconds, which is quite a good indicator, especially for our roads. The manufacturer promises that the new model will be more dynamic. After all, it has a 2.5 - liter four -cylinder engine with unrefined injection. Of course, the power will decrease, but how much - the manufacturer does not declare. But we can assume that the power will be about 220 horsepower, as in cars with similar installations that are produced by the Japanese for the domestic market. The new model, as mentioned above, comes out in the back of the sedan that looks calm, solid and even to some extent elegant. The new hybrid by mass exceeds its predecessor by twenty kilograms. The car is more economical than its counterparts, but due to the large battery size, the size of the trunk decreased, unfortunately. In the cabin, the cars are new, modernized chairs. The landing has become lower, the seats are softer. The interior of the cabin is made with taste. This is due to the fact that good, high -quality plastic was used, and the upper part of the torpedo is made of leather, which cannot but please. The proportions of the sedan were left classic, so the car has excellent visibility, but the dimensions of the car are not very good, but prudent Japanese installed parking sensors. The machine is not intended for fast dynamic, but for calm, measured driving. What is suitable for older drivers, youth will be uncomfortable in it, because this is a calm car. Sales of a new hybrid start at the end of 2018. It can be assumed that in Russia the car will appear at the same time.
