Moving upmarket from a Toyota Prius hybrid to an entry-level Lexus hybrid carries a 50 percent price premium. But, hey, you’re getting a Lexus.

The 2010 Lexus HS 250h hybrid will start at $35,075 when it ships in about a month, Lexus announced. And that’s with the best fuel economy of any luxury vehicle in the U.S., low emissions, a boatload of technology standard in the base model, and leather everywhere. There is no exact equivalent gasoline-powered Lexus sedan. The Lexus ES250 comes close at $35,345 (both prices include $875 shipping). An entry Toyota Prius with a lot less standard equipment runs $22,750 while the ritziest Prius starts at $32,520.
