The Lexus GX is a bit of an anomaly in the luxury SUV world. It’s one of the few body-on-frame hold-outs, but is not a full-size offering like the Cadillac Escalade, Infiniti QX80, or even Lexus’ own LX. Based on a platform shared by the Toyota 4Runner, the GX continues to use the older 4.6-liter V8. It may make less power than many modern V6 engines, but it does feature an abundance of low-end torque. 

The Lexus GX is a bit of an anomaly in the luxury SUV world. It’s one of the few body-on-frame hold-outs, but is not a full-size offering like the Cadillac Escalade, Infiniti QX80, or even Lexus’ own LX. Based on a platform shared by the LX and Tundra, the GX now uses a 3.4-liter turbocharged six-cylinder engine. 

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 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.

Lexus called our bluff with the 2024 Lexus LC 500 Convertible.

Last of the V8 Holdouts

Lexus lightly updates the ES for 2024.

There’s no direct way to get to Road America.

The 2024 Lexus GX leans into its off-road credibility.

The Lexus TX strives to give crossover owners the best of both worlds; luxury and passenger space.

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.

Lexus gives us another sneak peek of its three-row crossover.

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.

Driving the 2023 Lexus ES 300h F Sport is like catching up with an old friend after a long spell and not missing a beat.

The Lexus RZ 450e finally has a price.

They grow up so fast. It’s a battle of two different takes on the small luxury SUV: the BMW X1 vs Lexus NX350h.

It’s a question we get asked often: is a plug-in hybrid better than a regular hybrid? With the Lexus NX350h vs NX450h+, the answer is: it depends.

The 2023 Lexus RX has a tough act to follow.

It happens at a suburban intersection.

A slammed crossover with 367 hybridized horsepower is something we didn’t even know we wanted.

Lexus has made a name for itself in the world of hybrid SUVs. But now the brand is taking the next step with the introduction of the all-electric RZ 450e. 

The brand has once again teased the debut of the upcoming Lexus RZ EV 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.

Hybrids are gaining traction—both on the sales chart and on the road.

Chocolate teapot. Inflatable dartboard. Entry-level luxury car?

I have done a lot of press launches.

You’re going to hear a lot of happy car journos today.

Body-on-frame SUVs are becoming a rare sight on today’s dealer lots.
