Lexus is a brand under Toyota, and its car logo features the uppercase letter 'L' from the name Lexus, enclosed in an ellipse. The Toyota Group owns five brands: Lexus, Hino, Scion, Daihatsu, and Subaru. All Lexus vehicles are imported. Taking the Lexus ES as an example, its body dimensions are 4975mm in length, 1866mm in width, and 1447mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2870mm. The car is front-engine, front-wheel drive, and its engine delivers a maximum power of 127kW at 6600rpm and a maximum torque of 208Nm.
I've been driving a Lexus for several years, it's Toyota's premium brand. Toyota launched Lexus in 1989 primarily to compete with European brands like Mercedes-Benz and BMW in the luxury car market. The driving experience is exceptional—refined interiors, low noise levels, and high reliability, thanks to Toyota's quality control. Many components are shared with Toyota but are tuned to a higher standard, making it ideal for owners who prioritize comfort. It's been particularly successful in the U.S., often leading in reliability rankings with relatively low maintenance costs. If you're considering a luxury car, Lexus is a great option as it combines Toyota's durability with premium features.
