OUTLINE
LEXUS Hybrid Drive
LEXUS Hybrid Drive optimally performs cooperative control of the 2UR-FSE engine, and Motor Generator 1 (MG1) and Motor Generator 2 (MG2) in the L110F hybrid vehicle transmission assembly that provides excellent transmission performance. Furthermore, this system uses a high-output HV battery with a nominal voltage of DC 288 V, and a variable voltage system in which a boost converter boosts the operating voltage of the system to a maximum voltage of DC 650 V.

Tech Tips
*: Maximum system output is engine output and MG2 output controlled by LEXUS Hybrid Drive. MG2 output depends on power supplied by the HV battery.
2UR-FSE Engine
The 2UR-FSE is a 5.0-liter, 32-valve DOHC V8 engine. The engine uses the Dual Variable Valve Timing-intelligent (Dual VVT-i) system which achieves optimal valve timing by using an electric motor to actuate the intake camshaft and the engine oil pressure to actuate the exhaust camshaft. In addition, this engine uses the Direct injection 4-stroke gasoline engine Superior version (D-4S) which uses both the direct injection and port injection systems, Direct Ignition System (DIS), Acoustic Control Induction System (ACIS), Electronic Throttle Control System intelligent (ETCS-i) and Hydro-Carbon Adsorber and Catalyst (HCAC) system. These control functions achieve improved engine performance, quietness, fuel economy, and clean emissions.
