At CFAO Mobility Lexus, we’re excited to be part of a transformative journey with Lexus, a brand that has continuously redefined what it means to drive sustainably, without sacrificing luxury or performance. With cutting-edge advancements in hybrid and electric technology, Lexus is committed to creating vehicles that offer not only an exceptional driving experience but also a more sustainable future for generations to come. Let's delve into how Lexus is "Plugged into the Future" and leading the way in electrification.
Lexus has been at the forefront of hybrid innovation since launching the RX 400h, the world's first luxury hybrid SUV, in 2005. This was more than just a new model; it was a statement that luxury and environmental responsibility can go hand in hand. Over the years, Lexus has continued to push the boundaries of hybrid technology, consistently offering some of the most efficient and advanced luxury hybrids in the market. Today, Lexus offers an extensive range of self-charging hybrid vehicles that seamlessly blend power with efficiency, making them ideal for environmentally conscious drivers who refuse to compromise on luxury or performance.
At CFAO Mobility, we are proud to offer Lexus hybrid models that align with this legacy of innovation. Our hybrid lineup is not only designed to reduce emissions and improve fuel economy but also to provide a smooth and quiet driving experience that enhances every journey.
Lexus is taking bold steps into the electric future with its "Lexus Electrified" strategy, which aims to electrify all its models by 2035. This initiative is not just about adding electric powertrains to existing models; it’s a comprehensive plan to reinvent the driving experience through advanced technologies and innovative designs that bring out the best in electrification.
One of the highlights of Lexus Electrified is the incorporation of DIRECT4 technology, an intelligent all-wheel-drive system that provides dynamic control and enhances the vehicle’s handling, responsiveness, and stability. This technology leverages electric motors to improve precision and performance, offering drivers a unique blend of power and agility that is distinctly Lexus. With Lexus Electrified, the future isn’t just about sustainability; it’s about creating vehicles that are thrilling to drive, embodying Lexus’s commitment to omotenashi, the Japanese spirit of hospitality and excellence.
Lexus has recently entered the Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) market with the Lexus UX 300e, the brand’s first all-electric vehicle. The UX 300e represents a significant milestone in Lexus’s journey toward an electrified future. Designed with urban driving in mind, this compact luxury SUV offers the same level of craftsmanship and innovation that Lexus is renowned for, combined with the zero-emission benefits of an all-electric vehicle.
The UX 300e is equipped with a powerful electric motor and a high-capacity battery, providing an impressive range that’s perfect for city commuting and short road trips. Its quick acceleration, smooth handling, and silent operation enhance the driving experience, making it as enjoyable as it is environmentally friendly. For those looking to embrace a cleaner, all-electric lifestyle, the UX 300e provides the perfect balance of luxury, performance, and sustainability.
While Lexus is advancing in the BEV arena, it remains a leader in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs) with models like the Lexus RX, NX, and ES hybrids. These self-charging hybrids combine an electric motor with a traditional combustion engine, providing improved fuel efficiency and reduced emissions. What sets Lexus hybrids apart is their ability to deliver power and smooth performance without needing to be plugged in—ideal for drivers looking for eco-conscious vehicles with the convenience of conventional refuelling.
Lexus hybrids are designed with intuitive technology that automatically switches between petrol and electric power depending on driving conditions, optimising fuel usage and enhancing overall efficiency. This self-charging capability is especially beneficial for South African drivers, as it eliminates the need for charging infrastructure and allows you to enjoy the benefits of hybrid technology without any hassle. With models like the RX and NX hybrids, Lexus proves that luxury, performance, and sustainability can coexist harmoniously.
Beyond hybrid and battery electric vehicles, Lexus is also exploring the potential of Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEVs). Powered by hydrogen, FCEVs produce only water vapour as an emission, offering one of the cleanest and most sustainable driving solutions available. Although FCEVs are still in the early stages of development, Lexus’s commitment to hydrogen technology signals a forward-thinking approach to diversifying sustainable fuel options.
While FCEVs are not yet widely available in South Africa, Lexus’s dedication to exploring hydrogen power highlights the brand’s innovative spirit and willingness to invest in a variety of sustainable solutions. In the future, as hydrogen infrastructure develops, FCEVs could become a viable and environmentally friendly alternative, offering Lexus drivers even more options to support a cleaner planet.
As Lexus evolves its vehicle lineup, safety remains a core pillar of its development strategy. Lexus Safety System+ integrates a suite of advanced safety features designed to protect drivers, passengers, and pedestrians. From pre-collision systems and adaptive cruise control to lane departure alert and road sign assist, Lexus Safety System+ enhances driver awareness and reduces the risk of accidents, aligning with the brand’s vision for a safer, more secure future.
In electric models like the UX 300e, Lexus Safety System+ works seamlessly with electric powertrains, using sensors and cameras to support safer driving. This commitment to safety not only protects individuals but also contributes to Lexus’s broader goal of creating safer and more sustainable communities.
Lexus stands out as a leader in luxury and sustainability. Here are some reasons why Lexus is the ideal choice for those looking to drive sustainably without compromising on quality:
