Live Lexus HS 250h Photos
There were plenty of live photos of the Lexus HS 250h posted online, some better than others.
As always, Autoblog has plenty of photos to go through, including this photo of the HS trunk:
Looks spacious, benefiting from the batteries being located under the car.
Jalopnik posted a similar selection of on-stage shots, but give a nice 360° view of the HS:
Edmunds only had a few shots to look at, but I really liked this photo:
Wired had only one image, but it was my favorite of the bunch:

Thanks for the trunk photo. I hope this is not production ready. The back seat isn’t foldable and even lacks an opening for skis or other long objects. Then it doesn’t come to Europe anyway, so what am I complaining about
The non-foldable back seat is IMO the single biggest shortcoming of my current 1st gen. IS. (I know a fixed seat adds structural integrity, but that shouldn’t be an issue in a car like this)
The non-foldable back seat is a problem with almost every luxury car, though. (At least the ones I’ve owned.)
Structural integrity notwithstanding, I think it’s also a comfort issue. Seats made to move can’t really compare to sculptured bucket seats.
Good point.
But both Mercedes and BMW have it as an option, though they charge top dollar for it
I think Lexus missed the perfect opportunity to sneak into the luxury hatchback market (i.e. Audi Sportback A5 & A7 Series)... they could have done a longer wheelbase Prius hatch w/ fold-down seats… plus, there would be less overlap with the IS and ES (w/ a Hybrid version for the more conservative customer)... and a good introduction for a smaller than IS Hatch (i.e. A3 & Mini).
With the HS not making it to Europe, I guess it’s no surprise that Lexus didn’t pursue a hatchback, but I definitely agree with your thinking. There’s a real potential for confusion, particularly between the ES & HS.
