The new Lexus RZ 300e – a single-motor version of the electric RZ – is available in four trim levels with prices from £49,995. It’s more than two years since the Lexus RZ 450e arrived as the Lexus take on the Toyota bZ4X, suitably gentrified as a Lexus should be and offering an AWD powertrain […]
Lexus NX 350h Hybrid and 450h+ PHEV mildly tweaked for 2024
The Lexus NX 350h hybrid and the 450h+ PHEV get the mildest of equipment tweaks for 2024 as well as a slightly tweaked model range. It took Lexus a long time from when they arrived in the UK to offer anything other than saloon cars in three sizes, and it wasn’t until 1998 that their […]
Lexus LBX Morizo RR – the Lexus with Toyota GR Yaris power – going in to production
The Lexus LBX Morizo RR Concept – revealed early in 2024 – is going into production with the powertrain from the Toyota GR Yaris with 300bhp and AWD. Lexus has worked hard over the years to get buyers to perceive it as a premium car maker rather than just badge engineering from Toyota. It’s worked […]
Lexus UX, NX, RZ and RX EVs and PHEVs get BIG price cuts
Lexus has announced big price cuts for the UX, NX, RZ and RX ‘electric’ models – EV and PHEV – with prices falling by up to £7,100. Lexus may still feel like a slightly left-field premium choice, but if you want a well-built, comfortable, quiet SUV with interiors a notch or three above the competition […]
Lexus RZ EV gets new entry-level Urban model, FWD RZ 300e and FREE Hybrid loan car
The electric Lexus RZ gets updates for 2024 with a new entry-level Urban model, a new RZ 300e FWD model and a free hybrid loan car. It’s two years since the electric RZ 450e arrived as Lexus added a second model to its EV range, and now it’s time for updates to the offering including […]
New Lexus LBX grabs Car of the Year Award – wins too for BMW, Kia, Land Rover and more
The new Lexus LBX has grabbed the Way Car? Car of the Year award, with wins too for BMW, Kia, Renault and more. It’s still Car of the Year season, with the latest COTY Award held by What Car? And, surprisingly, the Car of the Year Award has gone not to an EV, but a […]
Lexus LBX gets the heart of the Toyota GR Yaris in the Lexus LBX Morizo RR Concept
The Lexus LBX Morizo RR Concept has been revealed at the Toyota Motor Show, a performance take on the compact LBX with 300bhp. When the Lexus LBX was revealed last year, we did wonder if pushing the Lexis brand to such an affordable level, and basing it on the little Toyota Yaris Cross, would diminish […]
Lexus LF-ZC Concept previews a new electric ‘saloon’ from Lexus in 2026
The electric Lexus LF-ZC Concept arrives at the Tokyo Motor Show, previewing a new IS-sized electric saloon due in 2026. There’s no doubt Lexus and Toyota are the market leaders in hybrid cars, but, a little surprisingly, that hasn’t yet translated in to mastership of the electric car. Yes, we have EVs from both Toyota […]
New Lexus LBX Full model range and prices announced
The full range of offerings for the new Lexus LBX is announced, with a wide choice of models and prices from £29,995 to £40,545. Is the new Lexus LBX a step too far down the ladder for Lexus as a compact SUV based on the Toyota Yaris Cross and likely to diminish Lexus’s hard-won reputation […]
Lexus is STILL the most reliable car brand in the UK (and guess which came 2nd)
The annual What Car? reliability survey has found Lexus to be the most reliable car brand in the UK for the 7th year running. It’s never been a secret that Lexus (and Toyota) make cars built to last, which is why (as long as you have main dealer servicing) you effectively get a 10-year warranty. […]
