The Lexus Range Experience Amazing
THE LEXUS RANGE EXPERIENCE AMAZING Since the launch of the LS 400 sedan in 1989, Lexus has become a synonym for exceptional quality and incredibly refined luxury cars. Determined to offer more than this, recently we’ve launched a new generation of vehicles: cars that stand out from the crowd and defy convention. Models like the exciting new UX compact crossover and the provocative yet elegant ES executive sedan. Based on a uniquely Japanese aesthetic of harmony without compromise, Lexus design is now more distinctive and single-minded than ever. However, head turning looks would be nothing without incredible performance. Inspired by the iconic Lexus LFA supercar that was launched in 2010, our ‘Master Drivers’, have worked tirelessly to identify and articulate the unique flavour of driving excitement. With this hard won knowledge we’ve now enhanced the precise and elegant nature of every Lexus with a sizeable dose of adrenaline: creating an exhilarating new driving experience that starts when you approach a car like the LC luxury coupé, and continues as long as you drive and cherish it. Unsurprisingly, technology plays a huge role in our work. We see innovation as a never-ending process, and are committed to anticipating future needs and desires. This approach has led to major automotive breakthroughs like the world’s first Self-Charging Hybrid in 2004 – the RX 400h – and now Multi Stage Hybrid that powers the LS 500h and LC 500h. Despite our intense focus on the future, we’re immensely proud of the world-class build quality of our cars, which is overseen by our ‘Takumi’ artisans.

Sajtóközlemény Toyota Central Europe
SAJTÓKÖZLEMÉNY TOYOTA CENTRAL EUROPE A HYBRIDEK FELVILLANYOZTÁK A TOYOTA ÉS LEXUS MÁRKÁK EURÓPAI ÉRTÉKESÍTÉSEIT 2016 első nyolc hónapjában az európai Toyota és Lexus vásárlók 31 százaléka hybrid hajtású autót választott, a nyugat-európai piacokon ez az arány pedig még ennél is magasabb, 41 százalék. A hybridek értékesítése egyre növekszik: januártól augusztusig 45 százalékkal több ilyen autó kelt el, mint a tavalyi év azonos időszakában, így az idei évben újabb rekord várható. Az új generációs Prius eladásai augusztusig több mint kétszeresükre (12.000 darabra) nőttek a modell teljes tavalyi értékesítési eredményéhez képest, miközben az Auris és a RAV4 modellek legkeresettebb hajtáslánca is a hybrid technológia, amely a Yaris eladásaiban is 40 százalékot tesz ki. Mindeközben a hybridek értékesítése Európában 61 százalékot, Nyugat-Európában 98 százalékot tesz ki a Lexus forgalmából. Az alternatív hajtásláncokról már bebizonyosodott, hogy ezek képviselik a jövőt – méghozzá itt és most. A Toyota és a Lexus három új hybriddel (a Toyota C-HR Hybriddel, az új generációs Prius Plug-In Hybriddel és a Lexus LC 500h kupéval) bővíti európai portfólióját, ám a Toyota már a jelenleg forgalmazott hybridek révén is hatalmasat lépett előre az európai piacon, 45 százalékkal növelve értékesítési eredményét 2015-höz képest, holott már az is rekordévnek számított. A három új modell a hamarosan megnyíló Párizsi Autószalonon is látható lesz. “Úgy véljük, hogy idén közel 300.000 darab hybridet fogunk eladni.” – avat be Karl Schlicht, a Toyota európai ügyvezető alelnöke. “Ez új rekordot jelent, és a villamosítási verseny élére pozícionálja a Toyotát és a Lexust.” A vállalat azt tervezi, hogy ebben az évben több mint 900.000 járművet értékesít majd Európában, és e mennyiség harmada hybrid lesz.
