Every year,
Autoblog editors test dozens and dozens of the newest vehicles available, sometimes even before they’re available. From those vehicles, we select the ones we think provide the most innovative technology in the industry. Then we pare the list down to the very best, test them again, and vote on our winner for
Technology of the Year. This year,
Lexus’s multi-stage hybrid system — as tested in the LC 500h — came out ahead of
the rest of the finalists.
We chose the 2018 Detroit Auto Show to hand over the award to Lexus Group Vice President and General Manager Jeff Bracken. He was kind enough to sit down with
Autoblog Senior Editor Alex Kierstein and Green Editor John Snyder at the Lexus stand to talk about the hybrid system, what it does, and what it means for the future of Lexus and Toyota.
Check out the video above, and
follow along for all our coverage from the 2018 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, where we are taking a look at all of the new cars and technology that we’ll see in the near future. Perhaps the next winner of
Autoblog‘s Technology of the Year award is sitting somewhere on the Detroit show floor.
