Lexus IS Sedans
Lexus-ls1 by Brandon Baunach is licensed with CC BY 2.0
A strong performer for Lexus, the IS sedan offers luxury car enthusiasts a stylish exterior with all the interior comfort and convenience features you expect from Lexus. An aggressive nose, sleek body, and sharply sloping rear fascia give the IS a real athleticism. The vehicle is available in seven models: the IS 300, IS 300 AWD, IS 350 F Sport, IS 350 F Sport AWD, IS 500 F Sport Performance, IS 500 F Sport Performance Premium, and IS 500 F Sport Performance Launch Edition. As you move up the trims, you enjoy different levels of refined performance.
Lexus uses a rear-wheel-drive system on the IS that provides classic sports sedan driving dynamics. Engines vary from the base 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder, which produces 241 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque, to the 3.5-liter V-6, which rates at 260 horsepower and 236 lb-ft of torque. The middle-tier IS models come with a turbocharged version of the 3.5-liter V-6 that puts out 311 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque. Finally, IS 500 trims use a 5.0-liter V-8 engine, capable of a monster 472 horsepower and 395 lb-ft of torque.
Inside, every IS is decked out in Nuluxe — a beautiful and durable synthetic upholstery. Interior furnishings vary from real metal to ash for a refined look and feel. The lower Lexus models feature an 8.0-inch touchscreen, while a 10.3-inch high-resolution touchscreen is included with the IS 500 trims. You’ll enjoy the preloaded Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Alexa so you can access your cellphone apps and home assistant without plugging in. You also get the Lexus Safety System+ 2.5 — a full suite of driver-assist technologies designed to elevate your ride.
Lexus ES Sedans
The Lexus ES sedan lineup offers 12 trims in various powertrain configurations. This mid-size sedan has exceptional exterior style and comes in rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. In addition are the options of hybrid and plug-in hybrid. Upholstery options vary from NuLuxe to quilted and perforated leather in different colors and styles, while open-pore wood trim options deliver sophisticated appeal.
Engine options include a 2.5-liter inline four-cylinder capable of 203 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque. Hybrid versions use the same 2.5-liter engine with hybrid technology to enhance your horsepower to 215. The ES 350 models come with a 3.5-liter V-6 engine capable of 302 horsepower and 267 lb-ft of torque.
Lexus LS Sedans
You immediately notice the athletic profile of the LS series sedan, with its coupe-like styling and low, wide stance. It rolls on 20-inch alloy wheels in various styles. The LS offers the pinnacle of luxury to Lexus sedan enthusiasts with its ultra-premium leather interior, natural wood furnishings, and a bevy of comfort and convenience features to rival any vehicle in its class.
A 3.5-liter twin-scrolling turbocharged engine powers every LS model, and you also have a hybrid powertrain option. This powertrain pumps an impressive 416 horsepower and 442 lb-ft of thrilling torque. You have your choice between rear- and all-wheel drive.
Lexus RC Coupes
Coupe lovers argue over which model they like best. The RC and RC F have that fastback design for a sleek and sporty look. The LC trims are available in a hard-top, convertible version, and a hybrid powertrain option. The base RC trims are equipped with a 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder engine with 241 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque, while the RC AWD moves to a 3.5-liter V-6 engine. This powertrain puts out 260 horsepower and 236 lb-ft of torque. In the RC 350 models, you enjoy an optimized 3.5-liter V-6 rated at 311 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque.
A leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob come standard, along with heated seats in NuLuxe upholstery. Ventilated seats are an option. Your in-vehicle tech includes Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Bluetooth, which runs on the 7.0-inch touchscreen. Wireless charging comes standard, along with multiple USB ports to keep everyone connected.
Lexus SUVs
Lexus has produced SUV five models to represent every class. The UX, NX, and RX SUVs have a hybrid powertrain option, and the NX adds a plug-in hybrid version. The GX and LX SUV models offer full-size power, utility, and space.
Perhaps the biggest news is the new NX 350 series, which replaces the NX 300. With this model, you enjoy exceptional power in an elegant package with all the luxury features you desire. The RX is a close second to the NX, which benefits from a complete redesign inside and out. The RX has long held the top sales spot for the Lexus SUV segment, and the changes should only add to its popularity.
The GX and LX provide three rows of spacious comfort. Premium leather on the top trims refines the look and feel. Cutting-edge infotainment technology and larger-than-life touch screens provide information and entertainment to the whole family. You can’t forget the V-8 and V-6 power these two SUVs draw on. The GX has a 4.6-liter V-8 engine that puts out 301 horsepower, while the LX comes with a 3.5-liter turbo V-6 that rates at 409 horsepower.
Lexus RZ 450e BEV
The all-electric Battery Electric Vehicle from Lexus should be available with a 2023 model. Expect a dual-motor platform and other unique electric applications to elevate Lexus’ first EV to the top of its class. You can also read our RX 450e overview to get a better idea of what to expect.
