MODEL 01. 4TH GENERATION LEXUS HYBRID DRIVE The ES 300h is equipped with the very latest Lexus Self-Charging Hybrid that can deliver exceptional fuel efficiency, responsive performance and best-in-class CO2 emissions from just 119 g/km. It couples an ultra-efficient 2.5-litre Atkinson cycle four-cylinder petrol engine with a lighter, more compact electric motor. Total system power is 218 PS/160 kW and combined cycle fuel consumption is from 5.3 l/100km. 03. NEW HYBRID TRANSMISSION Engineered to work perfectly with the 2.5-litre engine, this new transmission utilises a multi-axle arrangement of the electric motors in place of the previous coaxial layout to reduce the overall length of the transaxle by nearly 30mm. The traditional planetary gear set has been replaced by a parallel shaft gear and a multi-function gear. This incorporates a power split planetary ring gear, parking gear and counter drive gear into one compact unit. 02. HIGHLY EFFICIENT PETROL ENGINE The 2.5-litre petrol engine is all-new and incorporates fast-burn combustion technology that makes it one of the most thermally efficient engines ever built. The result is more power without increasing emissions or fuel consumption. Features that help achieve such impressive results include straight intake ports, increased valve angles and laser-finished valve seats. A variablecapacity oil pump, multi-hole injectors, VVT-iE on the intake valves and a variable cooling system also contribute to the engine’s impressive heat and combustion management. 04. COMPACT HYBRID BATTERY The nickel metal hydride battery that powers the electric motor and stores power has been relocated from the boot to underneath the back seat. This was made possible by a 120mm reduction in the height of the battery and the adoption of a more compact cooling system. Moving the battery under the seat not only frees up luggage space, it also improves weight distribution for better handling. ES 05
