At Keyes Lexus, we offer a variety of green cars to our customers. We have hybrid sedans, coupes, and crossovers, so it’s always easy to drive away in a new vehicle that will help you lower your carbon footprint. Now, it looks like another green Lexus vehicle could be in the works, and it’s using a different kind of power source: hydrogen.
A hydrogen-powered vehicle would differ from a model like the 2018 Lexus ES 300h in a few key ways. One of our hybrids uses a traditional combustion engine, with the addition of electric car tech that makes the vehicle more fuel-efficient. Gasoline is still needed to power a hybrid car, and a hybrid car still creates carbon emissions. The difference is that a hybrid vehicle creates fewer emissions and stretches a gas tank farther. Some of them also offer an all-electric range, where they can travel on just electric power for a short period of time. In that mode, a hybrid vehicle doesn’t let out any harmful emissions.
A new Lexus car that’s hydrogen-powered would be like that hybrid car in all-electric mode, but all the time. The only waste a hydrogen-powered car creates is water vapor. That’s why we were excited to hear that a top Lexus executive doesn’t just want more hybrids. The brand is looking for zero-emissions models as well, and that could include a green Lexus car that’s powered by a hydrogen fuel cell. We look forward to hearing more about a potential hydrogen-powered car, and we can’t wait to see what other green vehicle tech the Lexus brand has in the works.
So when you’re looking for luxury cars that innovate, it’s time to visit our Lexus dealership serving Los Angeles. We’re ready to answer all of your questions about the latest vehicles and the newest features. We hope to see you soon for a test drive!
