Despite recent struggles related to Toyota's recalls, Lexus' history bears a standard of quality and prestige
that drivers will still be able to find on the used car market.
Lexus offers a range of sedans, including the high-end
LS and
GS along with the entry-level
IS and
ES. The
IS has the most options of the bunch, also available as
a convertible or as the "
IS F," a high performance version of the passenger car that adds over
100 horsepower. The company also makes 3 hybrid sedans, with the
IS and
ES merging into the
HS to complement the
LS and
GS hybrids.
The automaker also produces a full range of SUVs and crossovers, from the full-size
LX to the mid-size
GX and
RX compact crossover. The
RX also has a hybrid option.
Those looking for more of a performance-based luxury car will probably opt for the
SC 430 hardtop convertible, which boasts a 4.3 liter V8 and a sleek, eye-catching
design.
Lexus also offers a number of limited edition trims, like the Pebble Beach
SC 430, which can be a nice bonus for those who find them on the used car
market.
