Lexus GS 450h, the lowest CO2 emissions of the class



The checks have confirmed the final approval for the primacy of the new GS 450h in its category in terms of CO2 emissions, with the extraordinary result of 137 g / km, better than any diesel vehicle or hybrid product from the competition. Lexus Hybrid Drive is the second generation. The new GS 450h is equipped with Lexus Hybrid Drive is the second generation, whose rear-wheel drive is guaranteed by the joint operation of a heat engine 3.5 V6 and a compact electric motor with water cooling. For maximum efficiency, the internal combustion engine uses the Atkinson cycle combined with the new Lexus D-4S fuel injection. Although the total power of 343 horsepower, this new system has exceptional environmental performance. Compared to those of the previous model, consumption has been reduced by over 23% to just 5.9 liters per 100 km, with CO2 emissions down up to 137 g / km and a further reduction of NOx and particulate matter (PM). Among all vehicles powered systems comparable to this, the combination of power and low emissions has allowed the new GS 450h to reach the top spot in terms of efficiency, with a ratio of 2.50 hp per gram of CO2.

With its 343 horsepower, the GS 450h has a speed and acceleration, perhaps even better than what you would expect from a V8 engine, with fuel efficiency, however, comparable to that of a 4-cylinder. The new GS 450h has an acceleration 0-100 km / h in 5.9 seconds with a top speed of 250 km / h electronically limited.
