Lexus Launches ES 350h Hybrid Sedan In India
Lexus has introduced a new luxury hybrid car called the ES 350h in India.
It uses both a petrol engine and an electric motor.
Its battery charges while the car is being driven, so owners do not need to plug it in.
The car can travel 25.22 kilometres using one litre of fuel, according to its certified rating.
It has a larger body and a stronger platform than the earlier model.
Lexus will sell it in two versions.
The Exquisite version costs Rs 66.10 lakh, while the Luxury version costs Rs 71.80 lakh.
The car is made in India and is part of Lexus’s plan to offer both hybrid and fully electric vehicles.
