The 2010 Lexus HS 250h has just been officially unveiled at the 2009 Detroit Motor Show and according to the manufacturer it is the first dedicated luxury hybrid worldwide.

The HS 250h comes equipped with a 2.4 liter four-cylinder engine (187 hp) typical for the Lexus Hybrid Drive System. If you’re familiar with the previous hybrid packs then I guess you agree that this is not the most attractive Lexus and folks at Carscoop seem to think that actually this looks a lot like the European Toyota Avensis.

Considering all other Lexus vehicles, the HS 250h will increase the fuel efficiency with up to 30% and for those of you interested in buying one you should know that the release date was set for this summer. We’ll keep you posted with more information on pricing as soon as possible.
