By Jonathan Crouch
IT'S inevitably unset tling when a new tech nology renders many of the truths you based your judgements on vir
tually redundant. The British public is get
ting used to the fact that if you run a large car, one of the latest generation turbo diesel engines is the way to go. More cost-effective, lower in carbon dioxide
• emissions and offering some serious overtaking power, sales of big diesels are sky rocketing. Lexus, however, has a di^dent point of view. Instead of putting big diesels into its luxury cars, it has chanced its arm on a radically different engineer ing solution. The latest GS450h model uses a petrol/electric hybrid engine so impressive you'll question the future of diesels in upscale cars. This car has recently been
tweaked with slightly sharp er styling, improved safety provision and better sat nav and “infotainment” sys tems, but none of that will really change the position of this car in its market. This Lexus is for the thinking
executive and in its original. form represented almost the first time a hybrid engine had been used in a large, lux ury car. Petrol/electric hybrid engines, Lexus were saying, needn't be reserved solely tor budget city scoots. The GS450h hammers
that point home with some verve and when Lexus select their targets they aren't aim ing low either. They're fum ing at some of the best exec utive cars currently made, diesel veraons of the BMW 5 Series, Mercedes E-Class, Jaguar XF and Audi A6. Lexus will happily wheel out a bunch of convincing statis tics that show why this tech nology is relevant and - cru cially - affordable for t5T)icaI prospective customers. With a power output in excess of , 335bhp when the high out put permanent magnet elec tric motor is assisting the 3.5-litre V6 petrol engine, the GS isn't shy of power. In fact it's seriously rapid. "A petrol/electric hybrid

stop there either. You might expect a Lexus packing well over 300bhp to be able to out-hustle a 240bhp Jaguar,. but would you also expect it to be nearly as economical? I didn't, yet the GS450h posts a combined fuel figure of 35.8mpg compared to the Jaguar's return of just over 40mpg. It's very nearly as clean too, with a carbon dioxide emissions figure of 185g/km as opposed to the XPsl79. The 3.5-litre V6 petrol
engine under the bonnet isn't anything technolo0 cal- ly novel in itself, but Lexus has also engineered a high- torque electric motor that
can assist the petrol engine during acceleration and replace it altogether on start up or a t low to mid-range speeds. Moreover, during deceleration and under braking, the engine switches off and the electric motor acts as a high-output gener ator. This regenerative brak ing system optimises energy management by recovering kinetic energy that would normally be lost as heat as electrical energy for storage in the high performance batr tery. The battery power level is constantly maintained by the engine-driven generator, which means there is no need for the system to be

Both front seats are fitted with revised, inflator-oper- ated active headrests, acti vated by a signal from the ECU in the event of a rear- end impact. The inflator slides a piston into the head rest, unlocks the mechanism and projects the headrest forwards and upwards to support the occupant's head and reduce, .ti^e^rfsk of whiplash, injury. Other improvements include enhanced audio systems and a better hard disc drive (HDD) navigation system with 40 GB capacity, giving Europe-wide coverage vrith traffic information, data cap ture in each country. I t's easy to be cynical
about a car like the GS450h, especially as it campaigns largely in Japanese and American markets with no big take up in diesel engines. That said, it looks as if it could be increasingly rele vant even in markets where diesel luxury cars are firmly entrenched - markets such as the UK. The shape of things to come could look very much like a Lexus GS450h.
