Lexus is a brand of luxury vehicles. The models under the Lexus brand include: GS, ES, LS, IS, UX, etc. Taking the 2017 Lexus GS as an example, it is a mid-to-large-sized sedan with the following dimensions: length 4880mm, width 1840mm, height 1455mm, wheelbase of 2850mm, and a curb weight of 1660kg. The 2017 Lexus GS is equipped with a 2.0T inline 4-cylinder turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 245PS, peak torque of 350Nm, and maximum power output of 180kW. It is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission.
I've been fascinated by cars since childhood, and often heard the term "Lei Che" in car enthusiast circles, which is actually the Chinese nickname for Lexus. It's a luxury car brand established by Toyota in the late 1980s. After launching its first LS model in 1989, it took the world by storm, focusing on quiet comfort and reliability. Now it's very popular globally, known as Lexus in the Chinese market, and the simplified nickname "Lei Che" feels quite endearing. Models like the ES sedan and RX SUV are elegantly designed. Lexus owners tend to value a quality lifestyle, not just showing off wealth, but pursuing safe and comfortable driving with relatively low maintenance costs. Toyota's technological backing makes it a worry-free choice. With the trend toward electrification, its newly introduced hybrid vehicles are more environmentally friendly, attracting more young people to try them. In short, Lexus represents a reliable and understated luxury option, suitable for both city and long-distance use.
