Are you looking for a small, compact SUV heading into 2024? If so, you'll definitely want to explore the new 2024 Lexus UX Hybrid. This SUV is one of the smaller models available across all manufacturers to the point where you may mistake it for a sedan. In addition to its compact size, the Lexus UX Hybrid features a luxury cabin, powerful performance, and strong fuel efficiency thanks to its hybrid powertrain. To help you better decide if this is the hybrid SUV for you, read on to find out all you need to know about the 2024 Lexus UX Hybrid. more Exterior Styling On the outside of the 2024 Lexus UX Hybrid, you'll find a ton of small design elements that add up to a modern and sophisticated look. From the sleek side mirrors and aerodynamic headlamps to the dark roof rails and prominent front grille, the elements of the exterior design all complement one another. The base model looks great as is, but if you want some different styling options or more features, you can do so with the other trims. For instance, you can get rain-sensing windshield wipers or automatic headlamp leveling, along with painted wheel arch molding or a power tilt-and-slide moonroof. The 2024 Lexus UX Hybrid is also available in a range of colors, making it easy to find one that matches your style. You can choose from the following colors: Caviar Obsidian Redline Nori Green Pearl Grecian Water Cloudburst Gray Iridium Eminent White Pearl Cadmium Orange To truly appreciate the design choices of the 2024 Lexus UX Hybrid, we highly recommend seeing it in person at our dealership in El Monte, California, as pictures and descriptions don't do it justice. Powertrain Performance There are four trim configurations available for the 2024 Lexus UX Hybrid, and all come with a four-cylinder hybrid powertrain and a continuously variable automatic transmission. This setup delivers 181 horsepower, which is enough to give this hybrid Lexus a snappy and powerful driving experience. You can get either front-wheel drive (FWD) or all-wheel drive (AWD) with each trim. Opting for AWD gives your UX Hybrid more control when driving on tougher terrain or bad weather conditions, but it also reduces its fuel efficiency. Finally, with the UX Hybrid, you can upgrade to the F SPORT package with the top two trims. Doing so gives your Lexus a sportier feel to the suspension, along with 18-inch wheels on run-flat tires. The F SPORT package primarily impacts the driving experience but also comes with some upgrades to the interior and exterior styling. Fuel Efficiency One of the biggest benefits of choosing the 2024 Lexus UX Hybrid is its fuel efficiency. This makes it an excellent choice if you're trying to save money at the gas pump or if you just want to live a more environmentally friendly lifestyle. When you select a UX Hybrid with FWD, you can expect to get around 43 mpg in the city and 41 mpg on the highway, according to the EPA. Going with AWD instead drops these estimates slightly to 41 mpg and 38 mpg, respectively. In either case, you're getting one of the more fuel-efficient SUVs on the road today, without sacrificing luxury or performance. Interior Cabin Once you step inside the 2024 Lexus UX Hybrid, you'll have no doubt this is a luxury vehicle. Even though it's a small SUV, many will find the interior cabin spacious enough. Throughout the cabin are soft, high-quality materials that mix well with the modern styling. Those in the front will appreciate standard features such as dual-zone climate control and power-adjustable seats, which can be upgraded further with a head-up display and heated/ventilated seats. Those in the back will like the extra legroom, which allows even adult passengers to remain comfortable in the rear. Finally, there's a decent amount of cargo space in the trunk, and you should have no trouble fitting a few suitcases or your weekly groceries back there. Entertainment Options The interior experience gets even better with the inclusion of a touch-screen infotainment system. This display, in the center of the front console, comes packed with features that make driving your 2024 Lexus UX Hybrid more enjoyable. For one, it has wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integrations so that you can easily sync your smartphone device. If you want even more entertainment options from your 2024 Lexus UX Hybrid, you can upgrade it in a number of ways. Some options include a larger touch screen, a wireless charging pad for your devices, a built-in navigation system, and a premium 10-speaker audio system. With all these features, and more, included with your 2024 Lexus UX Hybrid, you'll find yourself enjoying your driving experience each time you get behind the wheel. Safety Features Finally, there are the safety features included with the 2024 Lexus UX Hybrid. Each model of the UX Hybrid comes with the Lexus Safety System+ 2.5, a suite of driver-assistance features. These include automated emergency braking, pedestrian detection, lane departure warning, lane-keeping assist, and adaptive cruise control with a lane-centering feature. With such a comprehensive safety system, you can feel secure knowing you have the latest tech to help keep you safe on the road. 2024 Lexus UX Hybrid Trims and MSRPs With the 2024 Lexus UX Hybrid, there are four trim options to choose from.

Purchasing a new car is a significant decision, and timing can play an essential role in the process. But when exactly is the best time to buy a new Lexus? Let's explore this question in depth, considering various factors such as market trends, dealership strategies, and even seasonal influences. more Browse Our Inventory of New Lexus Understanding the Current Automotive Market The automotive industry has seen some unprecedented changes in recent years. Even so, there are some silver linings. Average new car transactions in June 2023 were about 26% higher than three years ago, and electric car prices fell about 19% compared to June 2022. Manufacturer incentives have also peaked, averaging $2,148. However, inventory availability has fluctuated due to microchip shortages affecting certain brands more than others. Despite these challenges, the industry inventory is improving and nearing normal supply levels. This shift has led to an increase in discounts and incentives due to excessive inventory and slightly softened demand. So, what does this mean for you as a potential Lexus buyer? Well, it suggests that while you might need to be patient due to inventory shortages on certain models, there may also be opportunities for discounts or incentives that could make buying your new Lexus even more rewarding. Buying a New Lexus: What You Need To Know At Longo Lexus in El Monte, California — the top Lexus dealer in the Western Area since 1990 — we offer a wide range of new Lexus models, including the RX 350, NX 300, ES 350, IS 300, and UX 200. Most of our vehicles are pre-sold before arrival. However, we do review our available on-lot vehicles based on customer interest. If you can't find what you're looking for currently in our inventory, we can explore options with vehicles that are in transit or being built. If you wish to order a vehicle with us at Longo Lexus, you can submit a request, and our sales team will stay in contact with you to verify your preferences and explore our incoming stock. You can then reserve your chosen vehicle with partial payment upon agreeing to the vehicle. Our pricing approach focuses on guest loyalty rather than taking advantage of market adjustments — meaning we don't charge over MSRP. The estimated timeline for the arrival of your new Lexus from build to the dealership is around 45-60 days (assuming no shipping delays). Best Times of the Year To Buy a New Lexus Buying a car is an exciting endeavor, but it can also put a dent in your bank account if you're not careful. Luckily, there are certain times throughout the year when dealerships are more likely to offer deals and incentives on new cars. From end-of-the-month sales quotas to holiday promotions, finding the best time to buy a new Lexus can save you a pretty penny. End of the Month As the month draws to a close, dealerships might be more motivated to meet sales quotas. Salespeople may offer better deals as they aim for bonuses and incentives tied to monthly targets. End of the Calendar Year As new models start arriving toward the end of the year, dealerships may offer discounts on outgoing models to clear inventory space. Three-Day Weekends and Holidays Three-day weekends such as Memorial Day and Labor Day often feature car sales events with generous discounts offered by dealerships aiming to boost sales figures. Other holidays such as Presidents' Day, July Fourth, Black Friday, and New Year's Eve also provide opportunities for potential discounts as dealerships strive to meet sales quotas. Best Days of the Week To Buy a New Lexus Choosing which day of the week you visit a dealership can also impact your buying experience. Mondays tend to be less busy at dealerships, which means sales representatives have more time to focus on customers who do visit. They might offer additional perks or devote more time for questions, test drives, and negotiation.

For nearly 35 years, Lexus has set the bar for the absolute best luxury vehicles available across the globe. From awe-inspiring luxury convertibles to efficient hybrid SUVs, this automaker delivers high-end quality with every car they make. But where did this manufacturer come from, and who owns it? What kind of engine does it have? Get the answers to these questions and more with this Lexus history overview. Here, you'll discover what makes this premium luxury brand so great. more Who Owns Lexus? The Japanese auto manufacturer Toyota Motor Corporation is the parent company of Lexus. Lexus serves as Toyota's luxury line of sedans and SUVs. Although they exist under the same umbrella company and have headquarters in Japan, Lexus and Toyota remain separate brands. Likewise, Lexus is made in separate manufacturing facilities. Most Lexus models come from facilities in Japan, while the United States branch creates the Lexus ES, and the Canada plant makes the RX and RX Hybrid exclusively. The History of Lexus Lexus made its first introduction in 1989 with two sedans, the LS 400 and ES 250, that set the standard for perfection. Lexus created and launched several new vehicles, such as its first luxury sports sedan in 1993 and luxury sports utility vehicle in 1996. By 1999, Lexus had sold its one-millionth vehicle, an impressive milestone achieved in just ten years. Lexus was named the top-selling luxury brand in the United States the following year. Lexus branched off to North America to manufacture the RX in Ontario, Canada, in 2003. The manufacturer also set several significant hybrid vehicle achievements throughout the years, such as introducing the world's first luxury hybrid vehicle, the RX 400h, in 2005. In 2007, Lexus introduced the world's first hybrid V-8 vehicle, the LS 600hL premium sedan. The manufacturer noted the desire for a powerful engine from high-performance car enthusiasts and responded with the Lexus IS F in 2008 with a roaring V-8 engine delivering 418 horsepower. By Lexus' 20th anniversary in 2009, the company had sold two million vehicles. Over the coming years, Lexus continued to release redesigned iterations of their vehicles with great success and reception through world premieres. These redesigns include the seventh-generation ES luxury sedan and the first-ever three-row RX 350L, proving the company's eye for innovation and continuously evolving design. The manufacturer even created a luxury compact crossover, the UX, in 2018, showing they're in tune with growing customer needs for SUVs that are easier to maneuver yet still fun to drive. Lexus' latest and most significant milestone hit in 2019 with its ten-millionth vehicle sold. Which Brand Is Better? Toyota or Lexus? Determining which brand is better comes down to a matter of opinion and your driving needs. If you need an electric vehicle (EV), Toyota and Lexus offer several. The main deciding factor on which brand to choose is your budget. For example, the MSRP for a brand-new hybrid Toyota Prius starts at $27,450, while the most affordable hybrid Lexus is the UX at a starting MSRP of $36,690, with its other EV models costing more than $59,000. Toyota makes affordable vehicles that set a standard for reliability and durability. This manufacturer appeals to various consumers, offering a range of vehicles, from cars and hatchbacks to trucks, minivans, and SUVs. If you have a limited budget, you may need to forego having the luxury car of your dreams and settle for the cheapest Toyota. Lexus only offers a few vehicle types, such as coupes, sedans, convertibles, and crossover SUVs. However, Lexus prides itself on being a luxury vehicle brand, meaning its cars have the best standards for comfort and convenience. If you're looking for premium quality in vehicle parts and appearance, you'll find the higher price point of a Lexus worth it. A brand-new Lexus can guarantee you get the latest in technology, engine performance, and comfort wrapped up in an impressive, beautiful vehicle. What's the Difference Between a Toyota and Lexus Engine? Similar to how Toyota and Lexus share the same parent company, both manufacturers often share the same engine type in their vehicles. Although Lexus vehicles' interiors and exteriors differ from Toyotas’, they almost always have a Toyota engine under the hood. Still, this is great news for Lexus drivers because Toyota engines are one of the most reliable ones in existence. Lexus typically equips its cars with a four-cylinder, V-6 or V-8 Toyota engine, depending on the size of the vehicle. Smaller sedans, such as the ES, come with an inline four-cylinder engine, the same engine found in a Toyota Camry. Bigger Lexus vehicles, such as the GX SUV, get the 4.6-liter V-8 engine that can deliver up to 301 horsepower for an impressive, dynamic performance. Regardless of the Lexus model, you can rest assured knowing it has one of the automotive industry's best award-winning engines. Which Lexus Model Is Right for You? Fans of luxury vehicles find satisfaction in Lexus' lineup, featuring coupes, sedans, compact crossovers, and more. Consider the following vehicle options and the best Lexus model for each to decide which is most suitable for your driving needs: Compact luxury sedan: Lexus IS. Midsize luxury sedan: Lexus ES or GS. Luxury hybrid sedan: Lexus ES Hybrid. Compact luxury crossover: Lexus NX. Midsize luxury crossover: Lexus RX. Luxury hybrid SUV: Lexus RX Hybrid. Eight-passenger seating capacity: Lexus LX 570 Three-Row. Luxury coupe: Lexus RC. Luxury convertible: Lexus LC Convertible.

The Lexus LC 500 is an excellent car that's sure to attract attention when you drive it down the road. It's attractively designed with a peppy and powerful V-8 engine, and it's also a rarity that's not often seen on the streets. This luxurious and sporty ride brings with it the excitement that comes with being so scarce. If you get your hands on one, you'll have raw power at your fingertips, superior comfort, and a real gem. more How Rare Is the Lexus LC 500? The Lexus LC 500 is definitely a rare vehicle because the manufacturer only created and sold a limited number of them. When it comes to the 2022 Lexus LC 500 Inspiration Series, you have an even rarer specimen. Only 150 models were created worldwide. The Lexus LC 500 was first developed in 2017, and since then, the breakdown of sales is as follows: In 2023 there has been 957 sold so far. In 2022 there were 1,387 sold. In 2021 there were 2,782 sold. In 2020 there were 1,979 sold. In 2019 there were 1,219 sold. In 2018 there were 1,324 sold. In 2017 there were 2,782 sold. The Lexus brand itself sold a total of 304,476 luxury cars in the U.S. in 2021. Out of that number, fewer than 1% were Lexus LC 500 models. The Appeal of the Lexus LC 500 People find the Lexus LC 500 highly appealing for many reasons. For starters, its performance is top of the line. Lexus LC 500 Performance The Lexus LC 500 offers many performance perks due to its aerodynamic design and powerful engine. It hosts a naturally aspirated 5.0L V-8 engine that delivers 471 hp and 398 lb-ft of torque, with a 10-speed direct-shift automatic transmission. This engine provides a 7,300-rpm redline and will get from zero to 60 mph in 4.4 seconds. You'll be cruising through the streets in this high-performance vehicle. If you opt for the Lexus Multi Stage Hybrid System powertrain, it comes with an Atkinson-cycle V-6. This is one of the more powerful electric motors due to its lightweight lithium-ion battery. Other performance features include: Dynamic handling from the rear-mounted damper, which adds rigidity and lightweight suspension. The LC also offers a Sport S+ mode, which delivers greater responsiveness and sharper steering. The engine is tuned to a fraction of a millimeter to deliver a euphony of sounds that are pleasing to the ear. As you accelerate, you'll hear unique frequencies that make driving an exhilarating experience. You'll have optimized traction and handling with the available Torsen high-capacity torque-sensing limited-slip rear differential. This provides better traction, handling, and control no matter what sort of conditions you face. Discover the aerodynamic nature of the speed-activated rear wing, which gives added lift and optimizes the downforce when driving at higher speeds. You'll have the optimal driving experience, whether driving fast or slowly. Design Elements of the Lexus LC When you first lay eyes on the Lexus LC 500, you'll understand why this car turns heads. Its exterior is classy, sleek, and attractive. Many added features make this ride a delight to drive. The convertible top is soft and can be opened or closed in only about 15 seconds while driving up to 30 mph. When it's stored, it doesn't affect the cargo capacity. The convertible top is lightweight with four layers and has minimal creasing and road noise. When you walk around to the back of the car, you'll be stunned by the taillamps. Lexus drew inspiration from the glow of a jet's afterburners when designing these lights. They host 80 LED lights on either side that create a mirror effect. Enter the vehicle in style with the light-up extended door handles. When you get close to the vehicle, the LED lights on the handle illuminate and the handles extend outward toward you. Once inside, the LED lights slowly fade to dark after about 15 seconds. Once inside, you'll appreciate the driver-inspired cockpit, with carbon fiber components that give it an elegant, sporty, and polished look. Due to the lightweight roof, the vehicle has a reduced center of gravity, streamlining its capabilities. Door scuff plates offer extra protection. The high-back sport seats have two years of development behind them, making them the most comfortable and ideal for driving positions. When seated in the car, you'll feel connected to the road. There are windscreens placed behind the driver and passenger seats that are uniquely designed to deflect wind and create greater aerodynamics to soften the airflow around you. In addition, with active noise control, you'll enjoy a calm and quiet atmosphere while driving. The automaker thought of everything when designing the Lexus LC 500. Even the steering wheel is ergonomically created with the human hand in mind. The contours are shaped to perfectly fit your hands for maximum comfort and reduced fatigue and pain. Technology Features The technology on the Lexus LC 500 is the most advanced on an LC ever. From the air system to the infotainment center, you'll have supreme comfort and convenience. There's a climate system that can adapt to your body temperature in real time using the latest technology. The infotainment center has a 12.3-inch touch-screen display, which offers a top-of-the-line audio system. You'll be surrounded by the beats and sounds you select, and you can integrate seamlessly with Android or Apple for a user-friendly experience. An 8-inch digital adaptive meter provides your vital performance information, while a color head-up display has details about audio, speed, and more.

Lexus has an expansive lineup of luxury SUVs to suit any budget or lifestyle. You can opt for a compact model for agile and efficient driving or choose a full-size SUV designed for spacious comfort for large families and everything in between. In this article, we compare the Lexus NX and Lexus RX SUVs in terms of their size. We also look at some of the more popular features of both vehicles. more Lexus NX vs. Lexus RX: Overview The Lexus NX occupies the compact SUV segment for the luxury brand, while the RX lineup competes in the crowded midsize SUV category. As a result, the Lexus RX has larger dimensions. However, both these vehicles offer a smaller footprint than many SUVs. Edge: Even You don't have a wrong choice between the two SUVs. This decision comes down to your personal preference for the size of your SUV. Lexus NX vs. Lexus RX: Dimensions The Lexus NX has a wheelbase measuring 105.9 inches, an overall length of 183.5 inches, a width of 73.4 inches, and a height of 65.4 inches. NX SUVs have 22.7 cubic feet of cargo space behind the back seats, while folding the rear seats flat opens up a total of 46.9 cubic feet. You get 38.3 inches of headroom in the front seats and 38.5 inches in the rear seats with the standard roof. If you opt for a moonroof, the headroom dips slightly to 37.1 and 38.1 inches in the front and rear seats, respectively. And with the panoramic glass roof, the rear seats have 37.4 inches of headroom. Legroom measures 41 inches in front seats and 36.1 inches for rear-riding passengers. The NX shoulder room comes in at 56.3 inches in front and 54 inches in the back. Finally, the hip room in the front reaches 56.3 inches and 52.5 inches in the rear. RX models have a 112.2-inch wheelbase supporting an overall length of 192.5 inches. The Lexus RX is 75.6 inches wide and 67.3 inches tall. Inside the cabin, you have 29.6 cubic feet of cargo area behind the rear seats and 46.2 cubic feet when you fold the back seats flat. You also have three roof styles for the RX. The hard-top roof provides 39.5 inches of headroom in the front seats and 38.6 inches in the back seats. A moon roof lowers your headroom to 38.1 inches for front passengers and 38.5 inches for rear-seat riders. And the panoramic roof variant has 37.6 inches in front and 37 inches in the back. The front seat legroom in the RX measures 41.1 inches, while the rear seat legroom measures 37.4 inches. The shoulder room is 58.1 inches in front and 56.5 inches in back. The hip room allows for 56.7 inches in the front seats and 56 inches in the back. As the numbers show, the Lexus RX has a longer wheelbase, which allows for more interior space. However, the differences in head, leg, shoulder, and hip room remain nominal enough that passengers in either vehicle won't feel cramped. The most significant variance we found is the cargo capacity. The RX has an impressive 7 cubic feet more space in the cargo hold. But the NX cargo area has greater space when you fold the rear seat flat. Edge: Lexus RX The RX is the bigger vehicle, inside and out. But both the RX and NX fit five passengers in premium comfort. Perhaps the RX makes more sense for young families with its larger cargo capacity to make trips to the store and weekend excursions without infringing on rear passengers' space. Lexus NX vs. Lexus RX: Trim Levels and Pricing Lexus makes the NX in five trim levels, while the Lexus RX is available in an impressive 14 trims. You can find regular and hybrid powertrain versions, and both vehicles have options for front-wheel drive (FWD) and all-wheel drive (AWD). Here's a look at the trim levels and pricing for each: 2023 Lexus NX Trim Level MSRP 2023 Lexus RX Trim Level MSRP Lexus NX 250 $40,305 Lexus RX 350 $48,950 Lexus NX 250 AWD $41,905 Lexus RX 350 AWD $50,550 Lexus NX 350 AWD $44,065 Lexus RX 350h AWD $50,550 Lexus NX 350 F Sport Handling AWD $49,165 Lexus RX 350 Premium FWD $50,950 Lexus NX 350h AWD $44,205 Lexus RX 350 Premium AWD $52,550 Lexus NX 450h+ AWD $59,405 Lexus RX 350h Premium AWD $52,550 Lexus NX 450h+ F Sport Handling AWD $60,655 Lexus RX 350 Premium+ FWD $53,550 Lexus RX 350 Premium+ AWD $55,150 Lexus RX 350h Premium+ AWD $55,150 Lexus RX 350 Luxury FWD $56,950 Lexus RX 350 Luxury AWD $58,550 Lexus RX 350h Luxury AWD $58,550 Lexus RX 350 F Sport Handling AWD $58,150 Lexus RX 500h F Sport Performance AWD $63,150 As the table shows, the NX has a more approachable entry-level price. You can add AWD for $1,600 on either vehicle. The RX offers more trim levels in its middle tier than the NX has, and it boasts five hybrid models versus the two NX hybrids. Surprisingly, the top-of-the-range NX and RX are competitively priced and feature impressive power and performance. Edge: Lexus RX The Lexus NX resides in a less competitive segment than the midsize Lexus RX. So we aren't surprised with its relatively fewer trim levels. However, the Lexus RX has more options for various budgets and lifestyles. Lexus NX vs. Lexus RX: Powertrain Base model LX trims feature a 2.5L inline four-cylinder engine that generates 203 horsepower. That's plenty of output for the compact SUV. However, a 2.4L inline four-cylinder turbo engine in the middle trims puts out 275 horsepower. The hybrid powertrain uses a 2.5L engine and produces 240 horsepower, while the plug-in hybrid models impress with 304 horsepower. Lexus RX lower trims use a 2.4L turbo four-cylinder that makes 275 horsepower. Hybrid versions with a 2.5L naturally aspirated engine put out 246 horsepower. However, the top-tier RX model has a 2.4L turbo four-cylinder hybrid that produces 366 horsepower. Edge: Lexus RX The Lexus RX has more power than the NX throughout the lineup.

Lexus and Toyota have been around for decades. Most Americans are familiar with these brands, but many people may not know that Toyota Motors owns both companies. And just because these manufacturers share the same parent company doesn't mean they offer the same vehicles. In fact, they have very significant differences. In this article, we explore those differences to give you a better understanding as you shop for a new car. After reading, you'll be ready to make an informed decision. more Lexus Vs. Toyota: Overview Toyota has been making vehicles for considerably longer than Lexus. However, Toyota has always focused on creating quality vehicles that perform well at a reasonable price. As a result, Toyota cars, trucks, and SUVs enjoy robust sales in the economy and middle-tier vehicle segments. In other words, most people can afford these reliable vehicles. But Toyota Motors understood they had yet to enter the luxury segment, so they created the Lexus brand. In many ways, Lexus is drastically different than Toyota. Lexus vehicles use many of the same components but include higher quality and performance. Toyota cars prioritize reliability over premium amenities. Lexus Vs. Toyota: Performance Many shoppers consider performance a top concern. However, assessing vehicle performance can be challenging due to the various metrics available. And your specific needs and driving style will factor into what performance features you prioritize. For example, if you want a pickup, Toyota makes a lineup of award-winning trucks with a range of performance levels, but Lexus doesn't make trucks. Other performance metrics include acceleration and handling. Engines, transmissions, brake systems, suspensions, and drivetrain configurations play a part in acceleration and handling. You must also consider exterior components contributing to performance, such as rear spoilers, air intake vents, and more. In a head-to-head comparison, Lexus offers a more expansive lineup of sports vehicles than Toyota. Lexus vehicles have more powerful engines and premium suspension systems that deliver more exciting driving dynamics. And the Lexus lineup offers a more sleek and sophisticated exterior design, something you expect from a luxury vehicle. Of course, Toyota has a few sports cars, and some of their top-tier offerings have excellent performance. But the Lexus brand goes above and beyond in most cases. Lexus Vs. Toyota: Comfort and Convenience Lexus cars have the fit and finish you expect from a luxury brand. That's not to say you can't find a comfortable Toyota. But Lexus uses premium leather, open-pore wood trim, and metal appliques that deliver a refined look and feel. Most Lexus vehicles come standard with cutting-edge technology and premium audio systems specifically engineered for each car. You get all the in-vehicle systems you crave and a theater-quality listening experience. In addition, Lexus crafted every element of the cabin for maximum comfort and convenient operation. All your Lexus controls are situated within easy, intuitive reach. Plus, amenities such as heated and ventilated seats and a heated steering wheel are often standard features with Lexus. In contrast, many Toyota cars only offer these features on the highest trims in specific models. As a result, the Lexus brand tops the Toyota brand regarding comfort and convenience. Lexus Vs. Toyota: Pricing In almost every case, a Lexus car will cost more than a Toyota. It's simply the because of the difference between luxury vehicles and those made for more cost-conscious buyers. If you want to stay on budget, Toyota has more accessibly priced vehicles. However, many Lexus cars come competitively priced at lower trim levels. These cars offer many upgraded features versus similar Toyota vehicles with only a marginal price difference. For example, the Lexus IS 300 starts at $41,235, a mere $2,000 more than Toyota's top sedan. And you get the premium flourishes you expect from Lexus that Toyota only includes as options. You might end up paying more to furnish a Toyota with similar equipment. The luxury vehicle segment pricing focuses more on delivering quality build and performance and less on affordability. But you get what you pay for, and if you can afford more, you choose a Lexus. Lexus Vs. Toyota: Safety When comparing safety systems, these two brands come as close to each other as any could. Both manufacturers use similar technologies to equip their vehicles. For instance, every Lexus comes standard with Lexus Safety System+ 2.5, a suite of driver-assist systems that elevate your California commute and keep you safe. The suite includes Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection, which uses radar to scan the road ahead for obstacles. If the system detects a potential collision, it alerts you. It can even activate emergency braking and steering to help you avoid crashes if you react slowly to alerts. An All-Speed Dynamic Radar Cruise Control system helps you stay at a preset speed and distance in traffic. This intelligent system can slow your Lexus to a complete stop without driver input if necessary and return you to your presets when the way ahead clears. The Lane Tracing Assist system works with the All-Speed Dynamic Radar Cruise Control to help reduce driver fatigue. This system uses sensors that track your Lexus within marked lanes and provides subtle steering input to keep you centered in your lane, even on gradual curves. The Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist system uses similar technology to alert you when it detects an unintentional drift. If you fail to react to the alerts, the system will use gentle steering input to return you to your lane. Toyota offers a similar suite of technology on most of its vehicles, so it's hard to distinguish a clear winner in this comparison.
