The luxury company has partnered with the New South Wales Police to provide two hybrid powered high-visibility police vehicles. Lexus GS and RX 450h will be used for this purpose. The two models will patrol state's Southern Region. The vehicles will be utilized at a different regional and community based activities across the state, such as roadside campaigns, sporting, community and motorsport events.
This will also highlight the flexibility and diversity of the Lexus hybrid vehicle range. One of the hybrids will be used as a "Snow Safe" community car, while the other – at sporting events such as NRL and NBL games, as well as community events.

It includes company's innovative E-Four all-wheel drive system, which ensures that the ideal amount of grip is applied across all four wheels.
