Luxury cars being the most dominant among all the variants of cars, people always look for the most enthusiastic features in all the coming up variants. Toyota motor corporations Lexus has stepped into the luxury segment through CT 200h a hybrid vehicle with hatchback. As already BMW, Mercedes are leading in the luxury segments in the market Lexus has to enter the battle of war with high ranked vehicles in the market. CT 200h is a five door hybrid vehicle which is expected to enter the market by early months of 2011. May not be exactly but the length of the vehicle is almost equal to the BMW’s 1 series and also of Audi A3. The tank capacity of CT 200h being 1.8 liters and rides on rear suspension. Even though Lexus is leading in its sports vehicles sales than the Mercedes Benz in US, but there are some people who rely on Mercedes Benz for years. Still we can hear from people who are sharing their real life experiences with Lexus saying that Lexus is reliable, luxurious and also gives better deals.
Looking into the US market, in the sales of the luxury vehicles, consecutively from the past 10 years, Toyota’s division has been the top seller, whereas Mercedes sedan of E-class has moved far ahead of Lexus in the beginning of 2010.
Mercedes in its sales has been ranked third and stood behind Lexus and BMW in the year 2009 in the luxury cars segment straightly strengthening the United States economy. Lexus could manage to set its increase in sales even though the Toyota corps total sales had tumbled down. Lexus which was continuously leading from the past 10 years in the US market may have to give away its seat to the German based cars either to Mercedes Benz or to BMW. The reason for this could be the problems in the vehicles with the pedals acceleration, floor mats, fuel tank leakages and other defective valves and also the mega brands up gradations in their variants gives good competition to Lexus. Looking at the sales in the month of June, Lexus stands at 2.7% far away from Mercedes 25% and BMW 15%. Until and unless Lexus clears down all its quality related hurdles and could convince its customers that it is away from all the quality related problems, it has to stand behind the German brand Mercedes or BMW.
Perfection is the main goal of Lexus. Toyota corps Lexus luxury segments are moving towards hybrid with their models LS, RX and GS. Also Lexus has decided in building a hybrid model from scratch and that is nothing but the model HS 250h. They expect a good popularity for the vehicle in terms of fuel economy and as well for the luxury. LS with 5.0 Liter hybrid V8 has a capacity of 438 hp of total output and with all wheel drive internally competes with its luxury segment vehicle LX with 5.7 liter V8 with 383 hp with full time four wheel drive.
