Motoring technology enthusiasts are being invited to experience ‘the power of h’ with the new Lexus BD24,000 GS450h F Sport and RX450h F Sport which boasts a BD25,200 price tag.

The two stunning hybrid models aim to ‘redefine luxury in an age of responsible consumption’, while still adhering to the marque’s values of high quality, craftsmanship and exhilarating performance.

And distributor Ebrahim K. Kanoo is so confident about the technological advances the marque has been making that it is offering an unmatched eight-year warranty on the hybrid battery.

The GS450h comprises a 3.5litre V6 direct-injection petrol engine and a high-output electric motor, which delivers 341 HP. Acceleration is both smooth and incredibly rapid (100 km/h in 5.9 seconds), with full tank mileage up to 1,047 km, while CO2 emissions are reduced by 35 per cent.

The RX450h is powered by a 3.5litre V6 engine and front-mounted electric motor to generate a total output of 308 HP, with 1,048 km full tank mileage and a more than 30 per cent reduction in emissions.

“In terms of performance there is no compromise at all, and in fact it is even better than traditional power trains, with the electric component also prolonging the life of the vehicle. The hybrid also uses less petrol and offers lower exhaust emissions,” said senior manager of Lexus marketing, Ayman Shehadeh.

“We also offer an unmatched eight-year warranty on the hybrid battery. For environmentally minded consumers and car enthusiasts alike, Lexus hybrids are a wise choice.”
