Toyota delays arrival of LS hybrid

Energy efficient: The LS600hL shares its hybrid thinking with the GS sedan.

Lexus will launch its petrol and hybrid luxury LS sedans simultaneously next year

14 Sep 2006

LEXUS Australia has pushed back the introduction of its fourth-generation LS460 from November to around March next year.

The move will see the rear-drive LS460, which will feature a new 280kW 4.6-litre V8 paired with a "world first" eight-speed automatic transmission, launched alongside the long-wheelbase AWD LS600hL, which boasts another world first: a petrol-electric V8 hybrid engine.

In the meantime, Lexus has added twin front knee airbags to its SC430 coupe-convertible, bringing its total airbags count to six.

The SC also now features front-seat airbag indicators in the instrument cluster and a front passenger seatbelt warning buzzer.

The SC430’s 210kW 4.3-litre V8 and six-speed auto continue unchanged.
