All-New Lexus LS 500h Set for Geneva Unveil – With Multi-Stage Hybrid System

The all-new Lexus LS 500h will debut soon at the Geneva Motor Show.

The hybrid model will join the range-topping LS 500 range following the debut of the petrol-powered model unveiled in January at the Detroit Auto Show.

Featuring knock-out looks, the all-new model jettisons the current 5.0-litre petrol V8 engine in favour of a new 310kW/600Nm twin-turbocharged 3.5-litre V6 (that’s 25kW/107Nm more than the V8) driving through a ten-speed automatic transmission.

Lexus calls it a Multi Stage Hybrid System, which offers better acceleration, traction and throttle response over the regular hybrid.
