No one does not know that the Japanese automaker, Toyota is the expert in
hybrids. However, some time not all its creations are success in the market.
Just take a look back in past 2009, when the Lexus HS 250h hybrid sedan was
introduced in North America.
The HS 250h was sold in 10,663 units example in 2010 with its price tag
starting of $34,200. The sales rate were worsen when in the following year the
company was managed in selling only 2,864 units. It means the sales was
decreasing by 73 percent or around 240 vehicles monthly.
Well, due to that pitiful condition and the company was convinced that the
sales would not get better, Lexus decided to get rid off its HS 250h. The
company also had stated to an online automotive magazine via email that in
January, the company had ended the HS 250h’s production.
Lexus said that production of the HS 250h is already over in January this
year. The company has monitored its sales for every vehicle and adjusted some
vehicles to fulfill markets’ demand. Finally it was coming to a conclusion that
the HS should be included in the discontinuation.
The company added that the new ES 300h would not replace the HS 250h in its
lineup and it would be the part of the hybridization of many other existing cars
in Toyota and Lexus range.
However, now the company is still putting a price tag of the HS 250h at
$37,030 excluding handling and destination fee.
