Designed specifically to target the European market, the CT200h hybrid hatchback is an appealing urban package that will help grow the segment in North America and help grow Lexus with a new group of customers.
With Lexus quality and luxury, plus a powerful V6 engine the IS350C is the epitome of what a luxury convertible should be.
It’s comfortable, luxurious, fun, looks great and considering what you’re getting, the price is certainly fair. It’s no Bentley Continental GTC, but the Lexus IS250C will have you, and your bank account, relaxed and happy.
Sure it’s great on gas and relatively small, but this little luxury car is bigger than it looks. Plus, it delivers all the luxury and refinement of any Lexus, with some of the automaker’s most sophisticated technology packed inside.
While most SUVs at this price point offer plenty of size with less than impressive fuel economy, this Lexus does the opposite.
Over the years the RX has evolved slowly. Without major changes, has the big-for-its-class luxury crossover gotten lost in its segment, or is its less-sporty, more luxurious and more spacious design just its way of standing out?
The Lexus IS C is ready to take on the BMW 3 Series Convertible and it’s likely to have a lot of success. The reason? It’s got luxury and style at a more attractive price.
It may be a honkin’-big SUV with a powerful V8, off-road capability and excellent towing capability, but with car-like driving dynamics and a luxury interior, the LX570 puts most crossovers to shame.
With a modest 2.5-liter V6 engine, the IS250 is an entry-level luxury sports sedan that is actually accessible.
The GS450h takes all of the great qualities of the Lexus mid-level luxury sedan and combines them with a hybrid philosophy that’s been turned on its head; offing increased performance and reasonable fuel economy, rather than decreased performance with exceptional fuel-economy.
The F-Sport equipped IS350 gets a long list of modifications and while it’s not really any faster in a straight line, the added handling and braking capabilities make it a lot more fun and a better track contender.
You have to love the available power from the IS350’s naturally aspirated V6. What you don’t have to love are the steering and transmission.
If you’re looking for a luxury-sport sedan without the “sport” the ES350 is for you.
Lexus has been leading the pack in the premium hybrid market by offering hybrid powerplants in existing models that offer improved fuel mileage without compromising style, comfort or performance.
Sure, there have been amazing Japanese cars before. But none have gone after the class stalwarts in such an aggressive way…well, not since the original Lexus LS. Is the IS-F just as good?
