NJ luxury vehicles like Lexus great for Federal Fuel Economy

Posted: Dec 22, 2010 |Comments: 0 |

Up until recently, drivers had to choose between a luxury vehicle and a fuel efficient vehicle. In 2005, when Lexus introduced the RX 400h to drivers of NJ, luxury vehicles no longer meant sacrificing fuel efficiency. Lexus became the first luxury brand to offer a vehicle that took luxury and fuel efficiency to such high standards simultaneously. The anomaly of a vehicle with luxury and an eco-friendly appeal turned out to be in high demand and compelled Lexus to manufacture additional hybrid models almost every year that continue to top the one before it.

2011 models are the latest and the greatest from Lexus's hybrid lineup and have landed two spots on a list of the top ten fuel-economy vehicles by the Environmental Protection Agency and US Department of Energy. The list is of particular interest to those of Edison, NJ and other city dwellers who rely heavily on good fuel efficiency to navigate through their urban expanses without spending a small fortune on gas.

Available at your Staten Island LS dealer is the 2011 Lexus HS 250h sedan which obtained the fifth spot with EPA estimated fuel economy of 35 mpg in the city and 34 mpg on the highway. The five-passenger car is Lexus's first dedicated hybrid and is the most affordable hybrid offered by the automaker starting at $34,650. The HS 250 employs a 2.4-liter four cylinder engine that is combined with an electric motor and delivers 187 horsepower.

The 2011 Lexus RX 450h SUV, which landed the ninth spot and is capable of reaching fuel economy ratings of 32 mpg in the city and 28 mpg on the highway, is also a top ten fuel economy vehicle. A successor to the first luxury hybrid, the RX 450h comes standard at your Staten Island LS dealer with a 3.5-liter V6 engine that delivers an impressive 295 horsepower when combined with the electric motor.

While luxury hybrids are scarce, luxury hybrids with style are even scarcer. But if any company can pull it off, it's Lexus. The interior of the HS 250h is draped with leather upholstery and features a driver-oriented luminescent instrument panel. The sedan's aerodynamic exterior creates a sophisticated appeal and is immediately recognized as a Lexus. The exterior of the RX 450h is similar to that of the gasoline-powered RX 350 and features blue-tinted headlamps and tail lamps and a distinctive front grille resting atop a unique front bumper. The interior of the RX 450h is luxury at its finest and is available with a navigation system, a computer mouse-like device and a remote touch controller. Visit your Staten Island LS dealer to test drive a one of a very few hybrids that combines luxury, fuel efficiency and style.
