Lexus

Toyota’s luxury brand offers plenty of cars and SUVs alike. The brand’s most affordable option is the UX sub-compact SUV, which remains one of the only options on the market to offer a hybrid powertrain. In fact, almost every one of the brand’s current offerings include electrified options.

On the crossover side, buyers have the choice of the best-selling RX, or the compact NX, which saw a second-generation model launch for 2022. The NX now offers four powertrains, including a powerful turbocharged ICE and the brand’s first plug-in hybrid. Buyers looking for more traditional SUVs can get either the GX or larger LX, the latter of which also saw a new model debut for 2022. The LX now includes a high-end trim with reclining rear seats to take on the Land Rover Range Rover.

On the sedan side, Lexus offers the IS sport compact, ES mid-sizer, and full-size LS flagship sedan. The IS 500 debuted for 2022, bringing a V8 back to the smallest Lexus sedan. Of course, that V8 still resides under the hood of the beautiful LC coupe, which even offers a hybrid too.

Lexus was introduced in 1989 as a luxury brand targeted at Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Jaguar. Its first model, the LS400 won critical acclaim, and later expanded to include the Camry-based ES luxury sedan, the GS sports sedan in 1993, the LX luxury SUV (based on the Toyota Land Cruiser) in 1995 and the IS sports sedan in 1999.

Choice is the name of the game as there’s a Lexus NX for nearly everyone. Folks looking for a gasoline propelled unit have their choice between naturally aspirated and turbocharged four-cylinders. If a hybrid is required, there are two of those as well. One a traditional hybrid and the other of the plug-in variety.

Lexus RC – Review, Specs, Pricing, Features, Videos and More

The mid-size Lexus RC Coupe is one of the few survivors in a dying segment. Luxury coupes used to be a prominent fixture on our roads, but not so much anymore. Three versions of the regular RC are available, one using a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine and two with naturally aspirated V6s.

Lexus’ performance halo sports coupe is the RC F. It bucks the turbocharged trend dominating the marketplace these days and sticks to a sweet sounding naturally aspirated V8 engine. Although it may give up a bit of power to its rivals, few match the visceral thrill of running the 5.0-liter unit to red line.

Imagine for a moment, these three crossovers are characters in a mid-80s John Hughes film. You’d have the sporty kid dressed in track pants and a tank top, constantly flexing – that’s the Acura. There’d be the nerdy kid, obsessed with sci-fi – that’s clearly the hybrid Lexus. And then we’d have the handsome rich kid, all dignified and quiet, but with a hidden secret – that’s the Infiniti.
