Reviews SummaryThe Lexus CT 200h is not without merit. It is a Lexus. It gets terrific gas mileage. The interior is quite nice. And hatchbacks always help to make life easier. But to be completely up front and honest, we’d rather get a loaded Volkswagen Golf TDI. | |
Reviews SummaryCars are falling out of favor in America, let alone luxury models that emphasize quiet comfort instead of raucous performance. The 2022 Lexus ES, however, appears immune to the trend. For now. This year, Lexus gives the ES a nip and a tuck, adding new grille, wheel, and bi-LED headlight designs along with a couple of new paint colors. More significantly, the ES adds a touchscreen infotainment display and next-generation Lexus Safety System+ 2.5 driving assistance and collision avoidance technology. Lastly, the 2022 Lexus ES Hybrid is offered with F Sport trim for the first time. But this version of the car is all about the look and not the feel from behind the wheel. | |
