Buy Used Lexus Models

Toyota popularized hybrid cars more than 20 years ago with its 1997 Prius and, predictably, the range of Lexus hybrid cars available today from the automaker’s luxury branch is extensive.

FAQs

What are the best Lexus hybrid vehicles?

If you want an affordable and frugal daily runabout, the UX Hybrid is a good choice, though the slightly more expensive NX is even better. In terms of sedans, there is the ES, which is good but not incredible. The LC Hybrid, on the other hand, is an excellent coupe.

How much do new Lexus hybrids cost?

It is worth remembering that these are still considered premium cars, which is reflected in the price. The UX and NX SUVs are the cheapest in the range, starting at around $36,000 and $42,000, respectively, while the larger RX asks for at least $50k. The LC is a performance coupe, so the $100k starting price makes sense, while the LS is the flagship sedan and requires an investment in the area of $115k. Keep in mind that these models do recoup some extra money thanks to their superior gas mileage.

Can I tow with my Lexus hybrid?

Hybrids usually cannot tow much, but some of the Lexus SUV hybrids can do a reasonable job. The RX has the highest towing capacity at 3,500 pounds. On the plus side, all the SUV models come standard with AWD.

Can I buy a three-row Lexus hybrid SUV?

No, the RX is available in either a five-seater or six-seater layout, but no third row is offered and no 7-seater.

Can I buy a plug-in hybrid Lexus?

Only the RX is available with plug-in technology to recharge the battery. Every other model is self-charging, using a combination of the excess energy from the engine and regenerative brakes. This means that the RX also benefits from the longer 10-year battery warranty.
