This is the new Lexus RX450h L, a seven-seat take on the regular Lexus RX to extend the appeal of the big hybrid SUV to compete with cars like the Volvo XC90. It might seem a bit odd that the market for premium SUVs with seven seats seems to be growing in an era where […]

Review and road test of the 2017 Lexus RC 300h – the Lexus competition for the BMW 4-Series – in entry-level Luxury trim with hybrid powertrain. Whatever you might have thought in the past about Lexus cars being a little dull and soul-less, most of that has now gone out of the window with the […]
Lexus IS 300h Sport Review (2017) – the Lexus alternative to the BMW 3 Series tested
We’ve had the 2017 Lexus IS 300h Sport in for review, the Lexus take on the BMW 3 Series and Mercedes C-Class with Sport trim and the hybrid powertrain.

Lexus GS 300h Executive Edition Review (2017) – Lexus’s entry-level GS Hybrid reviewed
We’ve had the 2017 Lexus GS 300h Executive Edition in for review, the entry-level GS Hybrid. Can Lexus’s GS compete with the class-leading BMW 5 Series? It’s five years since the current Lexus GS arrived, and more than a year since it got its mid-life facelift. Which, in car terms, makes it rather ancient. In a less […]

We’ve had the Lexus RX 450h hybrid SUV in for review, the full-size Lexus SUV which offers a different take on a premium SUV from that of the German makers. The Lexus RX has been around for getting on for two decades and, until recently, it was almost a green anachronism – a planet-saving SUV […]

Lexus NX300h F Sport Review (2017) – the Lexus to take on the Range Rover Evoque
We’ve had the Lexus NX300h in F Sport trim in for a week for review, the Lexus SUV which has cars like the Range Rover Evoque in its sites. Is it any good? For a very long time the only SUV option you had if you wanted a Lexus was the, more or less, full-sized […]
Lexus CT 200h SE-I Review & Road Test (2011)
This week we have the entry-level Lexus CT 200h – the Lexus take on the Prius – in for review and road test. A Prius in posh clothes or a sporty hybrid? The surprise isn’t that Lexus has decided to build its own version of the Toyota Prius – the Lexus CT 200h – it’s […]
Lexus LS 600h L Review & Road Test (2011)
We spend a week with the Lexus LS 600h to review and road test. Is the first hybrid luxury car in a league of its own, or a bit of a let down? For a car with a made-up name and a short history, Lexus has made a real impact. Now perceived by few as being just the […]
