Lexus

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.

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. 

The Lexus UX is a subcompact SUV. As the entry point into the luxury brand, Lexus keeps things simple. The UX only comes with a single drivetrain, a four-cylinder hybrid that makes 181 hp. It can can be paired with either front- or all-wheel drive. 

For over three decades, the Lexus LS has quietly gone about its business with poise, performance, and craftsmanship, prioritizing refinement and reliability.

Finally, the last holdout in Lexus’ electrified lineup gets a high-voltage heart transplant.

For 2025, Lexus has made a few small tweaks to keep the LC fresh, but it’s still very much the same angular grand tourer that’s been around since 2018.

Somewhat predictably, hesitancy from consumers towards electric vehicles, as well as a swelling demand for hybrids, has pushed Toyota to elongate its timeline on the project, deciding to shove production back by several months. While the project is far from dead, the delay isn’t a good sign of Toyota’s faith in the vehicle's ability to succeed amid the current market climate.

In the world of Lexus, 50 is equal to 15. That’s the difference, in horsepower, between last year’s UX 250h and this year’s replacement, the 2025 UX 300h.

Trademark filings found by AutoGuide indicate that Lexus is planning an expansion of its ES sedan lineup. The series of filings show trademarks for a Lexus ES350h, ES350e, and ES500e. Frankly, Lexus’ lineup nomenclature isn’t the easiest to decipher, but we’ve broken it down for you, starting with the ES350h.

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.

I had two favorite Lego sets growing up: a pizzeria, and a bridge crossing complete with off-roady truck.

Two hundred and seven. Or a little shy of one hundred and twenty-nine.

For 2025, Lexus’ smallest hybrid SUV gets an all-new powertrain. While the UX doesn’t appear to be boasting any aesthetic updates, Lexus also says the lineup now includes a new Copper Crest color, available on all models, and a handful of changes to the car’s safety systems.

Or, why we’re still searching the couch for some extra coin.

On the surface, the concept of a sporty Lexus RX has real dad-wearing-fluorescent-Nikes vibe.

We’re in Austin, TX, to drive the 2024 Lexus TX. Get it? Good, because that sort of subtlety is what the TX is all about.

This is the smallest Lexus ever made. Should it come our way?

Congratulations, you got that promotion at work. It’s time for a fancier new car—but not too fancy.

Hopefully, this is the last teaser.

The 2024 Lexus TX will step in for the now-departed RX-L as the brand’s three-row crossover SUV.

The numbers do not favor the 2023 Lexus RZ 450e, the luxury brand’s first dedicated electric vehicle.

There’s something so simple and appealing about a V8 sedan.

My first impression of the 2022 Lexus LX600 happens at 7,200 feet, and roughly 7,200 miles from where it feels built for.

It’s okay to admit it: some cars are just better-looking than others.

Lexus has made the announcement that 100% of its vehicle sales in North America would come from battery electric vehicles (BEV) by 2030. 

The market may be all about the SUV, but these ones are true to the origin of the breed.

We rarely think of reliability and fun going hand-in-hand. The old British roadsters and Alfa Romeos memes exist for a reason, after all.

When it first entered our common lexicon, the “Sport Utility Vehicle” moniker was reserved for wagon-style vehicles riding on traditional truck platforms.
