2018 Lexus NX: Maybe You Don’t Know it as Well as You Think4.0/5

The NX is the second-best selling Lexus model in Canada right after its big brother, the RX. Don’t know much about it? That’s not hard to believe, since it was only introduced in 2014 for the 2015 model year. While Lexus was a pioneer when it launched the RX several …November 22, 2017

2018 Lexus NX: Worthwhile changes?

Introduced in 2014, the NX clearly signalled a design philosophy change for Lexus. The compact luxury SUV became the first to boast the spindle grille that’s now featured on all Lexus models, and its success was instantaneous. To keep it competitive with well-tooled German adversaries, the NX gets a refresh …November 13, 2017

2018 Lexus LS 500h and LS 500 F SPORT: More is Less3.5/5

SAN FRANCISCO, California – While attending the launch of the new fifth-generation Lexus LS , we were also able to drive the hybrid LS 500h and the LS 500 F SPORT—two much less satisfying variants than the LS 500. The LS 500h uses the same drivetrain as the hybrid Lexus …September 29, 2017

2018 Lexus LS 500: More Refined and More Dynamic4.0/5

SAN FRANCISCO, California – Late in 1989, the arrival of the very first generation of the Lexus LS sent shockwaves through the then German-dominated luxury sedan segment. With a quality design, obsessive attention to detail, rock solid reliability and, most importantly, a more affordable price range, the LS forced the …September 28, 2017

2017 Lexus CT 200h: Economical Luxury3.5/5

Since 2011, the CT plays the role of the most affordable model in Lexus’ lineup, but it’s also the smallest and the most fuel efficient. As a matter of fact, only one version is available in Canada, with four option packages, and it relies on a hybrid powertrain. More precisely, …August 14, 2017

2017 Lexus IS 350 F SPORT: a Worthy Competitor to the Germans3.5/5

While researching this review I remembered by a magazine ad I saw once. Shortly after the Lexus IS debuted in 2001 with the 3 Series as its stated target, I stumbled upon a humorous BMW ad depicting a hapless Lexus IS wearing a wolf costume next to the 3 Series. August 4, 2017

2018 Lexus LC 500h at AJAC EcoRun

Every year during EcoRun , an eco-driving event organised by the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada, we end up with a somewhat eclectic group of vehicles. Aside from small hybrid and electric cars, over the years, pickup trucks, convertibles and high-end luxury sedans also participated in the event. For the …July 17, 2017

2017 Lexus NX 200t: a Flashy Crossover that Makes a Statement3.5/5

The NX 200t is one of the newer kids on the block in the compact crossover segment, having been introduced just a few of years ago in 2014. Toyota decided they wanted to have a Lexus-branded version of the RAV4 and this is the result. The 2017 represents the fourth …May 1, 2017

2017 Lexus GS F: Rolling with the Big Boys3.5/5

Lexus unleashed this BMW M5 fighter last year, and it’s back for 2017 with better handling and ride control thanks to new adaptive suspension. I mentioned the M5 here, just because it rolls off the keyboard so eloquently, but in reality, Lexus is fighting the Germans on multiple fronts including …April 28, 2017

2018 Lexus LC: The Rebirth of Lexus4.0/5

SEVILLE, Spain – The LC coupe, available in V8-powered LC 500 trim or as a hybrid in LC 500h trim, is no ordinary addition to the Japanese brand’s portfolio. This all-new sports coupe embodies the rebirth of Lexus. While attending the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance in 2011, Toyota president and …December 13, 2016

2017 Lexus IS: Road Yes, Track No3.5/5

Given that the luxury compact sedan segment is more popular than ever, there’s no room for error. All players have to be up to par, lest they drag the whole class down with them. And gone are the good old days when the E-Class ruled the roost. Sure, the E-Class …December 2, 2016

2017 Lexus LC : We’re Driving it This Week
