Reviews SummaryOne year on from the latest-generation Lexus GX’s debut, the excitement is still there. The 2025 Lexus GX looks great, drives well, and handles itself incredibly well off-road. The latter is something for which that the GX has always been renowned, at least among those who’ve been inclined to find out. Verdict: With great standard tech, safety equipment, looks, and overall versatility, the Lexus GX is worth the attention of any shopper who’s in the market for a luxury SUV. | |
Reviews SummarySince its 1989 debut, the Lexus LS has delivered more luxury at less cost than large sedans from Mercedes-Benz and BMW. Toyota created the Lexus brand as a bold upstart built on reliability, value, and customer service. Now an established nameplate and one of the best-selling luxury automakers in the country, Lexus wants to disrupt the big 4-door segment again with dramatic exterior styling and performance. The fifth-generation 2018 LS 500 promises a lot. After piling more than 800 miles on this 17-foot-long cruiser, we say it delivers. | |
