by Brian Byrne. Hybrid powertrains will be a 'brand defining' technology of Lexus, according to the vice president of Lexus Europe, Karl Schlicht.
Saying that the recently-launched RX 400h hybrid SUV is the 'cornerstone' of a strategy in establishing Lexus as a technology leader brand, he confirmed that the hybrid version of the new GS series medium luxury sedans will be launched next year, while 'more hybrids will follow'.
The hybrid GS will be called the GS 450h.
