Awesome Lexus

Competition for the best luxury SUV keeps intensifying. The 2025 Lexus LX comes in five grades: Premium, F Sport Handling, Luxury, Ultra Luxury, and — new for this year — Overtrail. This makes the LX the only Lexus to offer both F SPORT and Overtrail, which is available exclusively on the new hybrid LX 700h with two or three-rows.

It’s been a few years since we drove the mid-size Lexus ES sedan. After receiving a makeover last year, we experienced the latest iteration of the ES 300h, the hybrid variant. While it’s not as potent as the V6-based ES 350, it’s undoubtedly more fuel efficient, and the F SPORT Handling trim we drove offers bold looks and a performance suspension for agility.

For 2025, the Lexus UX compact SUV received a new, more powerful drivetrain and a new UX 300h designation. Sporting Toyota/Lexus’ 5th-gen hybrid system, it’s quicker and more enjoyable to drive. We tested the F SPORT Handling model, which has a performance-tuned suspension, bold styling and looks stellar in Copper Crest metallic paint.

Following its big debut in 2024, the third-generation Lexus GX has added a handful of standard features to the 2025 models, including a 1″ suspension lift on Overtrail and Overtrail+ grades. Having driven the 2024 GX 550, we’re fans of the SUV’s intuitive technology, refined interior touches, and off-road capability.

Lexus teamed up with luxury appliance brand Monogram to create the ultimate pizza kitchen on wheels. This special Lexus GX 550 has a Monogram Smart Flush Hearth Oven in its cargo area, split rear doors with a wine and spirits bar, and storage for a pizza peel. The Monogram GX will be on display at the Food & Wine Classic, June 14-16, in Aspen, CO.

The Lexus LC 500 and LC 500h share one of the most beautiful automotive designs of the last decade.  We’ve driven the V8 coupe and convertible, but this is the first time we’ve spent a meaningful amount of time with the V6 hybrid. While it’s a hair slower, the LC 500h is every bit as showstopping and offers better fuel efficiency, making it a fantastic grand tourer.

The internet is packed with April Fools Day pranks today, and this is one of our favorites. Lexus put together this hilarious commercial for a fictitious and fragrant feature for their new GX 550 SUV – a “Scent Mode” that helps you connect with nature even when you’re stuck in city traffic.

It’s not every day that we review a vehicle and walk away wishing we could own what we just drove. This is one of those times. The 2024 Lexus GX 550 is that good. Redesigned from top to bottom, this adventure-loving SUV is built with off-road capability, first and foremost, complemented by refined driving dynamics and a luxurious and serene environment.

The Lexus TX takes aim at the 3-row SUV market with a spacious cabin, upscale styling, and a smooth ride. We spent a day behind the wheel of this comfy 6- or 7-passenger vehicle, getting to know its performance, ride quality, and many features. It’s an excellent option for larger families and drivers who don’t want to feel like they’re driving a truck.

Lexus vehicles are known for their luxury and performance, but there’s a deluxe Lexus you won’t find here in the U.S. The Lexus LM is an opulent minivan with a truly first-class cabin. Passengers enjoy reclining seats with heat, cooling, and massage, a 48-inch ultrawide monitor, privacy shades, tray tables, a refrigerator, and a Mark Levinson surround audio system.

With the reveal of the new 2024 Lexus GX 550, we figured there was no better time to take one final ride in the outgoing model, the GX 460. We spent a week living with this 2023 GX 460 Black Line special edition, slathered in beautiful Nori Green Pearl paint. Our conclusion: Lexus’ rugged and capable SUV leaves some big shoes to fill for the next-gen GX.

Lexus just rolled out two new vehicles for 2024, including a 3-row family SUV designed for space and everyday cargo carrying. The Lexus TX has more reserved styling than other recent Lexus vehicles, something that’s sure to please more conservative buyers. Expect a smooth and quiet ride, along with responsive handling, which Lexus prides itself on these days.

The first of two new 2024 Lexus SUVs is a revamp of the sturdy but long-in-the-tooth GX. The all-new GX 550 rides on the same platform as the LX 600 for improved on- and off-road handling. It’s powered by a 3.4L twin-turbo V6 that makes 349 hp and 479 lb-ft. of torque, has full-time 4WD, and comes in a rugged new Overtrail grade. A hybrid model is in the works too.

For SEMA 2022, Lexus teamed up with DSPORT to build the most kick-ass IS 350. It rocks a twin-turbo V6 from an LS 500, cranked up to 600+ hp, a widebody kit from Artisan Spirits, a Seibon carbon fiber hood and trunk, GTHAUS stainless steel exhaust, a 6-speed sequential transmission, a 4-point roll bar, and Sparco racing seats.

We recently spent some time driving the new Lexus RX. Now, we’ve been behind the wheel of its smaller sibling, the Lexus NX – specifically, the NX 350h hybrid AWD. It’s not the quickest of the NX family, but it is the most fuel-efficient, offering a combined 39 mpg while enjoying an engaging drive in the lap of Lexus luxury.

The Lexus RX is the best-selling luxury SUV in the US. So when Lexus redesigned it for 2023, they set out to preserve what people love about it while also appealing to new buyers. There are four RX models in the works, but the powerful RX 500H F SPORT Performance was our hands-down favorite when given a chance to drive them all.
