EV only mode is for when you're leaving early in the morning or arriving late at night and keeping the noise down is important. Sounds like overkill but the new Porsche hybrid will have this feature too. Interesting to learn the battery sends a higher charge to the propulsion system in this car over the Auris/Prius variants.
People saying lexus' are toyota's are the dumbest shot ever. Yes, they may be based on the platform but they are different cars! Don't be angry because you can't afford one. LoL!
Lexus is a great make, it drives differently to a bmw, not too sure about audi. But from exp i find jap cars more reliable... have both lexus and bmw in garage.
@mmwl Agree and yes, believe or not, Japanese cars are much more reliable than Germans... Unfortunately Lexus still is working on his 'brand' to be helped by this name to sell (same as German but better quality and reliability)
@fizzybrasil bmw and audi are already sorpassed by lexus, their hybrid are not at the same level of lexus and their diesel engine sux, i'm italian and i'm an ex bmw owner, after a lots of problem to my 320d i took a decision: my next car will be hybrid and will be a lexus.
@MrMaxbear Hybrids are the only advantage the Japanese have. That is why every company in the world models their cars after the BMW 3 series. They try their best to copy BMWs and fail every year. That's why the BMW 3 series has been in front for the last 20 years according to all car magazines experts.
@fizzybrasil Lexus copy bmw's? i don't think so: The last 7 series is an ugly copy of the Lexus LS, and what about hybrid? Audi and bmw's starting now to make hybrids buyng know-how tech from Toyota. Again, talking about style, the E class Mercedes is a fucking ugly copy (front)of the Lexus GS. The Lexus IS is so beautiful and i can't see nothin about the 3 series E90 on that Lexus, the 3 series is one of the most ugly cars made by bmw's.
@fizzybrasil lol, superior for what? for their crappy cars? audi's are cars for retarded, just VW rebranded and overpriced and are bought from people who knows very little about cars, retarded exactly like you.
@TOYOTACELICATURBO4WD First of all, learn how to write proper english. Second, no need to get rude. German luxury cars are second to none. They handle better, accelerate better, stop better than any car in the world. That is why Lexus, Infinity, Acura are all trying to copy BMWs performance. I get better gas milage in my Audi A4 than I do in my Toyota Yaris.
@fizzybrasil I think you know very little about cars, just a suggestion, try to see some bmw's forum or audi's forum and you'll discover how many bmw's and audi's owner's are tired of the problems of their cars, in fact in JD Power Audi's and Bmw's are always at mid places (bmw) and last places (audi). Then you compare the A4 with Yaris? yes, according to you, it's not necessary take a Lexus for a comparison with Audi, a small,cheapest Yaris is enough.
@fizzybrasil the series E90,before the facelift 2009, took his inspiration by the Nissan 1990 Primera (Infiniti G20). That car sell well just because the brand, the world is full of chickens like you. I'm an ex bmw's owner and i know very well how crappy are them.
@fizzybrasil Hello 'FizzyBrasil'; what are you talking about? I believe you don't really know the different between those named cars, right?
You get with your A4, better mileage than with your Yaris? Obviously, if you buy a MT Yaris and you go in the first gear all the time, the consumption will be higher than the AUDI; otherwise, my friend, you don't even know what's a Toyota.
In my opinion you should forget reading 'autobild' and those mediocre magazines. Be realistic instead of a fanboy.
@fizzybrasil Moreover: And I'm talking about Toyota... imagine then a Lexus... Sorry, but your 'fantastics cars' are just selling thanks to the name... And really, I suggest you to get information about the car makers before talking about them; believe me, you would surprise about how the world WORKS.
@garoiscool A1(Flop in europe btw) is an overpriced Polo, A3-TT:overpriced Golf, A4:overpriced passat-skoda octavia, A8:Overpriced Phaeton, Q5: overpriced Tiguan, Q7:overpriced Toureag, R8:ugliest version of an older mid engined car (Gallardo), bye looser.
You want to talk about flops? How about you look at HS sales all over the world? Or Lexus's popularity in Europe in general? Or the fact that the LFA is the stupidest car to ever put into production economically for Toyota.
IS:overpriced corolla, ES:overpriced camry, HS:overpriced Prius, RX:overpriced Highlander, LS:overpriced Avalon, this new ugly ass Mazda looking CT:overpriced Matrix.
It seems Lexus and Audi do the same thing. Except Audi's are better. And it's spelt "loser", not "looser"
@garoiscool@toyotacelicaturbo4wd They're not technically overpriced, It's the luxury versions of the car. Some people don't understand that you are also buying the LEXUS, AUDI, BMW brand when you buy one of their vehicles. With it comes all the "Status" , or "Premium" crap that is associated with those brands.
Anyway, the car looks clean in design. It looks a bit bland compare to the cars it supposed to compete. But I'm, as is with all the Lexus car design, it will grow on you.
Of course exterior looks are purely subjective. But still, I think this and all Lexus's are gross and have as much styling brilliance as a foot. Audi's look nicer to me.
BUT if you like Lexus that's your opinion, I'm not judging.
@garoiscool Oh my god, you don't deserve answer, IS an overpriced Corolla? lol totally different class, kind of traction lol, LFA stupid? Already sold out after 3 days and with the best sound ever...No sorry, i can talk with who know somethin about cars but you, being an audi fan you know very little about cars, PS: Top Gear RS5 destroyed by the M3 and if you read EVO from the ISF, you know the RS5 is too understeering as the rest of the shitty audi line up...
You're not worth my time. I've read over our conversation and remembered how much of a dumbass you are and that's just something you're going to have to deal with.
And I'm actually a fan of German cars in general. Japan makes shitty econo boxes. German manufactures the best cars in the world. DEAL WITH IT.
@TOYOTACELICATURBO4WD Please, read some forums about audi owners in europe, they are very upset with their cars, the diesel engines in particular made by VW group are the most unreliable in europe, worst than many non premium carmakers like Renault, Peugeot Ford and so on...
