Noise ,Vibration and Harshness: The HS 250h’s Assault on Physics!

In any vehicle, Noise, Vibration and Harshness dilute the luxury experience. At Lexus, we utilize state of the art technology to develop vehicles that isolate our customers from these elements. The HS 250h is no exception; a few special techniques used by our engineers are discussed below:

a. Underbody moldings smooth airflow and reduce noise-creating aerodynamic drag
b. The unique A-pillar design smoothes airflow and quiets the cabin
c. Non-woven fabric fender liners reduce wheel well noise
d. Plastic engine cowlings reduce engine noise
e. Reinforced dash cross members, rigid floor beams and optimized ribbing reduce vibration and harshness from the road
f. Triple layer door seals reduce road noise
g. Special hood and fender seals reduce engine noise
