I honestly have no idea.
Premium fuel is expensive here in Canada too but is a smaller market bordering the US.shame that we do not have 8GR-FXS in any car lighter than LS/LC. With GS gone, there is a need for IS 500h/RC 500h. But it is mostly interesting for European market with high petrol prices. In North American market most will pay for the better performing V8 for same price, even if less fuel efficient.
I want to see acceleration comparison to 250 km/h or at least 200km/h between GS 450h and new NX 450h+.
I honestly have no idea.
same weight as 3rd gen GS 450h. but the 15th gen Crown is faster and more fuel efficient.Toyota only put that system on 15th Gen. Crown. 0-100km/h just need 4.7s, but it also weight 1870kg.....
Lexus could have given the GS another facelift like they did to the IS, and put the multistage hybrid system in it. But they killed it instead.same weight as 3rd gen GS 450h. but the 15th gen Crown is faster and more fuel efficient.
"more than 10"
that is plenty of models, just depends on how they count them all. IE, could be:
- NX350h, NX450h+
- LX600h
- UX300h, UX300e
- RX300h, RX450h
- LS600h
- ES300h, ES450h+
- RZ450e
So without them lifting a finger, it is already 11+ new or improved.
@sl0519 I totally agree. If they put that in the hybrid it would be a totally new day for for LS500H. It would be able to compete with the sclass or 7 series.It's a huge mistake pairing the 8GR to the multistage hybrid. Most people felt it to be underpowered for the LS. Some even complained its tendency to rev at high rpm, but it might also due to the cause of multistage cvt. Either way, they should start working on a TTv6 hybrid, if there's going to be another LS in the future.

I believe this powertrain (RAV4 Prime/450h+) is limited to around 190km/h.
So no need for turbocharging?The 8NR's replacement is the M15.
Why?So no need for turbocharging?
I meant the M15 won't have a turbocharged version, right? Sorry just now had a brain fog moment.Why?
