2010 Lexus HS 250H Review
Most carmakers would be happy with a lineup that includes one hybrid sedan; Lexus now has three. With the 2010 Lexus HS 250h, the company adds a compact luxury sedan to a mix that includes the midsize GS 450h and the full-size LS 600h L.
In the past, Lexus’ hybrid sedans have emphasized major performance with a minor fuel-economy benefit — the LS 600h L, for example, promises “V12 performance with a V8’s fuel-efficiency.” The HS 250h breaks the...
