OK so it's very high probability this will be a parallel hybrid system as Japanese sources suggested for the LC300 and most likely based on Hino hybrid trucks. They went for the more durable and more powerful but less efficient layout for utility trucks. Good to see them making that choice. And another good thing is this system could be adapted for Lexus F models as well due to its scalability.
One thing I don't understand is why some people have concerns with the reliability of turbocharged gasoline engines. Some of the toughest trucks in the world use turbodiesel. Is there a big difference between the two?
