Sketches of new Lexus and 2011 Camry hybrids?

The Lexus HS250h

Here is a shot of the Lexus HS250h from Mag-X that some are speculating will be the new Lexus hybrid set to debut at NAIAS 2009 in January. According to VW Vortex the new Lexus hybrid will utilize the same 2.4 liter engine currently found in the Toyota Camry hybrid.


The 2011 Toyota Camry?

Likewise, here is a picture of the 2011 Toyota Camry hybrid that is expected to utilize the same third generation Hybrid Synergy Drive set to debut in the 2010 Toyota Prius, except the new Camry hybrid will move up to a 2.5 liter engine.

Similar to the third gen. Prius, the new Camry hybrid is expected to offer better performance and fuel economy.

New Prius-based Lexus hybrid a done deal

Lexus version coming soon

A new Lexus hybrid, based off the Toyota Prius, is a done deal, at least for Europe, according to AutoWeek.

Plans to produce a larger Lexus hybrid, however, have been squashed because of CO2 emissions.

More Lexus hybrids coming

Super fast, super efficient, even rechargeable Lexus hybrids?

Lexus is considering a number of new hybrid vehicles to reach outside its core market into "enthusiast groups", according to the DetroitNews.

One version might be a high performance hybrid, another option might offer extreme fuel economy and ultra low emissions. Even more interesting is the possibility of a rechargeable Lexus hybrid.

Such a plug-in Lexus hybrid is possible, according to General Manager Jim Farley, although a "super efficient" version of today's Hybrid Synergy Drive is more probable - at least in the short term.
