Lexus is known worldwide for its luxurious vehicles. If you’re in the market for a new vehicle, you may be unsure where to start. One great place is looking at the best models ever produced by Lexus.

The Top Lexus Models of All Time

Ten Lexus models widely considered to be some of the best of all time are listed below:

Lexus CT 200H

The Lexus CT isn’t only one of Lexus’s best models, but it’s one of the world’s best hybrid electric vehicles (EVs). This compact hatchback model first came out in 2011 and offered owners a hybrid performance similar to that of a conventional 2L engine. The CT 200H came with several driving modes, such as Normal, Sport, EV, and Eco, allowing drivers to pick their preferred experience. Some other features of the Lexus CT 200H include a vehicle proximity sensor, stability control, and a telematics system.

Lexus GS 450H

The Lexus GS, which stands for Grand Sedan, is one of the longest-running models for Lexus. Lexus started producing this midsize luxury sedan in 1991, and it’s still going strong. In modern versions of this vehicle, you can expect to find a six-cylinder engine along with rear-wheel-drive. This changes if you opt for a second- or third-generation version of this vehicle, as you’ll get a more powerful V-8 engine. Finally, the fourth-generation model has a 3.5L V-6 engine and three driving modes: Eco, Sport S, and the Sport S+.

Lexus GX

Lexus isn’t only known for its smaller sedans. It produces some of the finest luxury SUVs as well. One of their best is the Lexus GX, a midsize SUV that came out in 2002. Under the hood of this SUV, you’ll find a powerful 4.7L V-8 engine paired with a five-speed automatic transmission and four-wheel drive. The Lexus GX makes for a great luxury family vehicle. It can fit up to seven passengers and has numerous safety features, including a pre-collision system, driver monitoring controls, and 10 airbags.

Lexus IS 250

Those who want a Lexus but don’t want to spend the high-end prices should consider the Lexus IS 250. This entry-level vehicle first debuted in 1998. The IS 250 is a current iteration of the IS line, and it features some of the brand’s best amenities and features. Inside this four-door sedan, you’ll get a powerful 2.5L V-6 engine that produces 204 horsepower. You’ll also get luxury features such as a premium sound system, expanded cargo space, and remote engine start. This vehicle has a lot to love, even if it is considered entry-level.

Lexus IS XE20

Next up is the Lexus IS XE20, which is a four-door sedan. This model first came out in 2006 but remains one of the best Lexus vehicles to this day. Under the hood of the XE20 was a V-6 engine with a D-4S direct-injection system. In newer versions of this model, you can find advanced features such as a 7-inch touch-screen infotainment system, dynamic cruise control, stability control, and an electroluminescent display. If you’re looking for a sedan that’s fun to drive and delivers a luxurious experience, you should definitely consider this model.

Lexus LFA

The Lexus LFA might be the best vehicle ever made by Lexus. This limited-edition supercar was launched in 2010, and it’s not a vehicle for those looking for something affordable. With an MSRP of $375,000, Lexus only made 500 of this limited two-seater. Under the hood is an astonishing 4.8L V-10 engine that produces 552 horsepower. While you’re not likely to get this vehicle for yourself, it is fun to see what these major car manufacturers can produce.

Lexus LS XF40

There are several options when it comes to getting a Lexus LS, but one of the greatest is the XF40. The XF40 luxury sedan first came out in 2007. As it’s in the fourth generation of the LS line, it comes with a 4.6L V-8 engine and an eight-speed automatic transmission. Some of the current hi-tech features you’ll find in the XF40 include a pre-crash safety system, anti-lock brakes, and an infotainment system. The LS XF40 has a distinctive exterior look, so we highly recommend seeing this vehicle in person to appreciate it fully.

Lexus LS 600h L

The Lexus LS 600h L is another vehicle that’s not necessarily considered affordable for the average buyer. With a starting price of over $120,440, this is the vehicle to get if you really want amazing performance. The powertrain in this vehicle produces 438 horsepower and can go from zero to 60 in just 5.5 seconds. There are also a ton of interior features designed to make your ride more enjoyable while helping justify this luxurious sedan’s price.

Lexus RC F

The Lexus RC F is a small two-door coupe that’s a lot of fun to drive, thanks to its 5L V-8 engine that produces 467 horsepower. With this vehicle, you can go from zero to 60 in just 4.4 seconds and reach a top speed of 169 mph. You have to experience this vehicle to appreciate it truly, so consider scheduling a test drive.

Lexus RX

Finally, there’s the Lexus RX. Another of Lexus’s older models, this one was introduced in 1998. The RX is a midsize luxury crossover SUV. You can get a Lexus RX with numerous powertrains, depending on which generation you select. For example, the first generation came with a 3L engine and a four-speed transmission, while the third generation has a 3.5L engine and a six-speed transmission. The Lexus RX has been one of the best-selling luxury SUVs in the United States for years, making this a strong option to consider if you’re looking for an SUV.
