Lexus is the luxury manufacturer founded 1989 in Japan and first sold to the US market. It apparently stands for Luxury EXports United States, however it has never been confirmed. The company is wholly owned by Toyota. There are 10 Lexus models available to the Australian market including the CT 200h, GS450h, IS F, IS250, IS350, LS600hL, LX570, RX350 & RX450h. The Lexus LF-A is set to move the brand into a new level of sophistication.
We get acquainted with our near brand-new hybrid Lexus luxury hauler.
The Lexus RX450hL has been given a refresh for 2020, with changes inside the cabin as well as under the skin.
The LS represents the starting point for the marque in Australia, and it's still a beautifully built, large luxury sedan.
If you value scarcity, then the 2020 Lexus LC500 Inspiration Series you see here is just one of 10 in the country. And we've driven it.
Soon, Australians will have their first-ever chance to drive Lexus's elegant LC500 in drop-top form, when the LC Convertible lands here in June 2020. While we can't drive it just yet, we can show you how good it looks and sounds, so join us for this in-depth walk-through of the third convertible in Lexus' three-decade history.
Lexus has been a remarkable success story in Australia, especially when you consider the difficulties a brand like Infiniti has had in this market, and the 2020 Lexus LS500h F Sport is a timely reminder that Japanese luxury sedans from the Lexus stable are as good, if not better, than any of the competition.
November 3, 2019: For the first time in Australia, the Lexus LC Convertible prototype is on show to the public at the 2019 Lexus Melbourne Cup. It appears nothing has changed since its world debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in July, still covered in what Lexus call ‘digital camouflage’...
Finally, our time with the brawny and very traditional Lexus GS F has come to its conclusion. What did Tony and the team think of it? Find out here.
How 'new and improved' is the latest version of the RX350L when placed alongside last year's model?
Can the relaunched and rebranded Genesis G80 take the fight to the Lexus ES300h in the battle of plush sedans?
As Land Rover lobs the second generation of its style-led Evoque into the Australian market, we look at how it measures up against a trio of other fashionable offerings.

Skipping the drawn-out teaser campaign favoured by many, the new 2021 Lexus IS will be revealed next Wednesday – less than two weeks after this first teaser image has been released. There is little in the way of detail to be seen here, apart from a familiar L-shaped lighting signature connected through a slim lit band across the bootlid...
Toyota’s luxury vehicle division Lexus has celebrated 30 years in Australia after bringing its first cars to local showrooms in May 1990.

The new Lexus model will be named the ‘BX’, the report by AutoHome claims, and it is expected in showrooms in 2023. The Lexus BX is expected to adopt the same 1...
I was a happy, one-eyed BMW owner for twenty years but eventually became tired of the increasingly excessive service costs ($850 to supply and fit four sets of disc pads) and turned to the internet to research an alternative luxury sport ride. A 2011 Lexus IS350 looked the goods with its punchy V6 engine, pin point handling and sumptuous leather interior...
I purchased in Sept 2019 and have done 8000kms. My UX200 is the base model with options of metallic paint and Enhancement Pack 1 (power tailgate, wireless charging, cornering lamps, headlight washers, metal scuff plates and privacy glass). Although it is a base model it is absolutely loaded to the gills with equipment. Drive-away price was around $53,000...
IS Fs fly under the radar a bit, which I like. People either don’t know about them or think they’re an IS250/350. That is also fine by me. Before the IS F, I had a Renault Megane Sport 225 Cup with some engine and suspension modifications, and it was a really fun car to drive. However, I wanted a V8 and started looking around, when the IS F caught my eye...
I've owned this car for just over a year now, and in that time have travelled 44,000km in it. Initially I was looking into purchasing a BMW 335I, 330d, or 328i. I had my eye on a few Lexus IS250s before a friend smacked me over the head and told me that would be a mistake. He knew I had an affinity for getting into the loud pedal on occasion...
