Standard Luxury Features:

The Lexus HS 250h comes with the convenience of a start/stop button. Lexus also offers the SmartAccess, with exciting features that allow you to turn on your vehicle, open your doors and even open your trunk without the hassle of pulling your keys out of your pocket. The science behind the SmartAccess is that it senses when you are near, enabling the functions of keyless entry.

The HS 250h also comes with dual-auto climate control, power moon roof slide and a HomeLink transceiver. With the HomeLink system, you can set the links for the garage to open, the lights to turn and even have the gate open for you. You can also find more information about the system on www.HomeLink.com.

Leather is definitely a standard. Leather trimmed steering wheel, leather trimmed seating, leather trimmed interior. You name it, they will probably offer you leather trim.

In terms of audio, communication use and entertainment, Lexus offers a 10-speaker sound system with what they call the Automatic Sound Levelizer (ASL - if the noise outside is too loud, it balances out the level of sound, basically it adjusts itself according to if your windows are rolled down or rolled up). XM Radio can be set up for all your satellite music needs. Bluetooth operation is available so that you can take control of the driving and still maintain your friendships through wireless connection.

The hybrid comes in the HS 250h and the HS 250h Premium. The HS 250h starts at $34,650 and the HS 250h Premium starts at $37,420. Again for more information go to www.Lexus.com.
