THE NEW LEXUS MULTI STAGE HYBRID SYSTEM
The next generation hybrid system combines elements of a traditional full hybrid powertrain - including 3.5-litre V6 petrol engine, electric motor and lithium-ion battery pack - to a four-speed automatic gearbox mounted at the rear of the hybrid transmission.

In the new video below, Lexus of Europe senior technical trainer Stefan Ramaekers details how the four-speed gearbox integrates with the hybrid coupe's continuously variable transmission (CVT) to provide new levels of response and engagement.
