The Lexus ES300h will be a sedan based on the Toyota Camry. Similar to the Toyota Camry Hybrid, the Lexus ES300h Hybrid will be powered by a 2.5 litre petrol engine along with an electric motor, paired to a CVT gearbox. As it will share its underpinning with the Camry Hybrid, the company could start its local assembly sooner than the rest of its models and the ES300h is expected to be priced around Rs 75 lakh, ex-showroom.
The Lexus LX450d or the LX570 SUV will share the same platform as the Toyota Land Cruiser. The Lexus LX range of SUVs in international markets is offered with a choice of two engine options, a 5.7 litre V8 engine that develops 383 hp of power and 546 Nm of torque and a 4.5-litre V8 twin-turbo diesel unit that generates 269 hp and 650 Nm. The same engine options are also expected to come in the India-spec models. The Lexus LX450d would also be available in five-seater and seven-seater configurations, depending on the variant. Both the Lexus LX450d and LX570 are expected to be priced at Rs 2 crore and Rs 2.15 crore (ex-showroom) respectively.
