Lexus

As one of the most popular Lexus models in Canada, the NX is a compact crossover with the luxury features and exterior styling appropriate to the brand. The NX 450h+ has varied competition in the form of ICE, hybrid and electric SUVs including the Volvo XC40, Infiniti QX55, Nissan Ariya and Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV.

What’s new with the Lexus NX 450h+ for 2025?

A snazzy panoramic roof has been added to NX 450h+ Executive and F SPORT 3 grades, meaning owners can stargaze without leaving the comfort of those NuLuxe-upholstered seats. For this model year, the NX continues to be built right here in Canada.

2025 Lexus NX 450h+ Performance

This car features a plug-in hybrid electric powertrain combining the best of electric vehicle and hybrid-electric vehicle operation. It is built around a 2.5L four-cylinder engine, an electronic continuously variable transmission, and a high-capacity lithium-ion battery. All told, it generates 304 system horsepower

2025 Lexus NX 450h+ Efficiency

with a fuel efficiency rating of 2.8 Le/100 km per 100km (city/highway combined), though it is important to note that figure is calculated with its 60km electric-only range that permits some daily driving to be accomplished without using a drop of gasoline. Whilst running on the gasoline-powered engine, economy ratings register 6.3 L/100km in town, 7.1 on the open road, and 6.6 combined.

2025 Lexus NX 450h+ Safety

After heaving the NX into its array of concrete and steel barriers, testers at the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety gave this model a Top Safety Pick rating. Not only did it ace the small and moderate overlap tests but it also garnered top marks in the new updated side impact test.

2025 Lexus NX 450h+ Reliability

As with many other models from a brand which sits atop the Consumer Reports heap in terms of overall reliability, the NX’s mechanicals are very well regarded by the CR boffins. However, the NX as a whole suffers in rating thanks to what was historically deemed fussy infotainment controls; the system was been overhauled last year but the model is saddled with poor marks for the old infotainment since Consumer Reports aggregates its scores based on years of accumulated data.

2025 Lexus NX 450h+ Interior

Despite technically being a trim of the NX line as a whole, the hybrid 450h+ has a trio of trims: Ultra Premium, Executive, and F Sport 3. The first one kicks off with the likes of a 14-inch touchscreen, power adjustable steering column, and a power moon-roof amongst other features. Executive trims adds 17-speaker Mark Levinson audio system, wireless charging dock, and panoramic view monitor in addition to other gear. Finally, the F Sport can be had with theatrical ambient illumination, power rear hatch, and bold colour choices including Circuit Red interior upholstery.

Overall length is 4,659 mm (183.4 inches) riding on a 2,690 mm (105.9 inch) wheelbase. Width is given as 1,865 mm (73.4 inches) while height is 1,670 mm or 65.7 inches. Ground clearance is 195 mm (7.7 inches) which matches several other all-wheel drive crossovers in this segment. Towing capacity maxes out at 2,000 pounds and cargo capacity is capped at 46.9 cubic feet.

2025 Lexus NX 450h+ Canadian Pricing

While the NX is small(er) in stature, it isn’t very small in price. An opening bid is all of $63,330 including fees but not taxes, the Executive trim is an $80,485 proposition, while the F Sport and its jazzy colour selections will trade for $80,605. Other options like premium paint selections can push those numbers even higher.

Serving as a stepping stone into the Lexus family, the little UX is one of the smallest vehicles ever to pop out of a Lexus factory. In this country, it is offered as a fuel sipping hybrid. Other SUVs in this class are the BMW X1, Audi Q3 and Mercedes-Benz GLA.

What’s new with the Lexus UX 300h for 2025?

The Lexus UX Hybrid gets a new, larger number in its badge for the 2025 model year – plus more power under the hood. A compact lithium-ion battery pack replaces the previous generation’s nickel-metal hydride battery, a much better choice for hybridization in this segment.

2025 Lexus UX 300h Performance

Front and rear motors to give the UX 300h a total of 196 combined horsepower, a sum 15 greater than the 2024 model. The car also now features shift-by-wire technology which eliminates mechanical connections from the gear selector down to the transmission, allegedly creating a quicker and more seamless shifting experience compared to last year’s car.

2025 Lexus UX 300h Efficiency

The mothership of Toyota has been in the hybrid game for longer than most, a decision which pays off these days with towering fuel economy numbers. NRCan says this model should get 5.3 L/100km in the city, 5.9 on the highway, and 5.6 combined.

2025 Lexus UX 300h Safety

Owners can brag their new Lexus UX is a Top Safety Pick by testers at the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety. The original small and moderate overlap tests were aced, though the updated moderated overlap received only a Moderate rating. The UX did earn top marks in the freshly toughened side impact test.

2025 Lexus UX 300h Reliability

Consumer Reports has placed the UX on its recommended list thanks in part to a predicted reliability score of 83-of-100, helping place it on the podium in a hotly contested field of 10 entrants. It is worth noting that Lexus as a whole is CR’s leader in terms of reliability amongst a total of 30 car brands on sale in North America today.

For all the success Lexus has with vehicles like the LS and RX, the latter of which literally invented a segment and continues to dominate today, it hasn’t really been able to create a smaller sedan which can keep the Germans up at night.

2025 Lexus IS Competitors

This is a car conceived to take on the mighty BMW 3-Series, Mercedes-Benz C Class range, and Audi A4 (or S4 depending on engine choice). Contemporary foes can also be found in a Genesis G70 and Cadillac CT4, at least until the latter gives up on making gasoline-powered cars.

What’s new with the Lexus IS for 2025?

This is a nameplate which is rapidly approaching its 25th year on the market. To mark the occasion, a limited production IS 500 Special Appearance Package available. There are also new BBS wheel designs for the IS 350 F Sport and IS 500 trims. As well, the IS 300 F Sport and IS 350 F Sport add standard features like power-folding/heated/auto-dimming exterior mirrors.

2025 Lexus IS Performance

The IS 300 AWD grades feature a 3.5L V6 engine mated to a six-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive, tuned to produce 260 horsepower and 236 lb-ft of twist. Meanwhile the IS 350 has the same 3.5L V6 engine and six-speed automatic transmission but is tuned to produce 311 ponies and 280 torques. It, too, has all-wheel drive. Finally, the brawny IS 500 packs a naturally aspirated 5.0L V8 and eight-speed automatic transmission. This rear-wheel-drive model delivers 472 horses and 394 lb-ft of torque. It can fling the car from 0-100 km/h in just 4.6 seconds.

2025 Lexus IS Efficiency

Starting with the IS 300 AWD, we find an economy rating of 12.2 L/100km urban, 9.0 highway, and 10.8 combined. This changes to, well, 12.2/9.0/10.8 in the IS 350 AWD – which is no change at all, of course. Makes one wonder why they’d consider the less powerful model other than on price. As for our favourite, the V8-equipped IS 500 RWD, don’t expect to get much more than 14.1/9.3/11.9 litres per 100 kilometres in the city/highway/combined.

2025 Lexus IS Safety

All models are fitted with Lexus Safety System+ 2.5 which is a portfolio of active safety tech including full-speed range dynamic radar cruise control, lane departure alert with steering assist, and a pre-collision system that watches out for pedestrians and cyclists. Other standard safety systems include a blind spot monitor system with rear cross traffic alert, 10 airbags, and the Euro-style inclusion of an on-board first aid kit.

2025 Lexus IS Reliability

Consumer Reports slings the IS squarely into the middle of its pack, ranking it 6th out of 11 luxury compact cars with which it feels the model competes. However, true to form, this Lexus scores a 4-of-5 rating on predicted reliability, above just about everything else in class save the Audi A4; ditto on predicted owner satisfaction, if you’re wondering.

2025 Lexus IS Interior

Thanks to economies of scale, every IS from the entry model to top dog V8 gets heated and ventilated front seats trimmed in NuLuxe upholstery. A heated steering wheel and dual-zone climate control are also standard across the board, as they should be at these prices. Be sure to get the 10.3-inch infotainment screen, optional on the IS 300 but standard on the IS 350 and IS 500. A ten-speaker sound system is standard but the top two models can get a 17-speaker Mark Levinson premium audio system.

2025 Lexus IS Dimensions

Sizing is identical across all three powertrains, save for overall length. Why? Because the V8 chooses to wear an extra-aggressive appearance. The two V6 models are 4,710 millimetres (185.4 inches) long while the V8 iterant is 4,758 mm (187.3”) long. Width for all three checks in at 1,839 mm (72.4”) and height is 1,440 mm (56.7”). Ground clearance is 140 millimetres or 5.5 inches on all trims.

2025 Lexus IS Canadian Pricing

Sticker prices of the 2025 Lexus IS are nearly so broad as the factory in which they are built. The range starts with a $48,258 IS 300 AWD Premium, though spending an extra $1,500 on the F Sport Design package for its aesthetics is a no-brainer. The middle-child IS 350 AWD is $58,398 for an F Sport 2 trim (add five grand when walking to the F Sport 3). As for the V8 variant, that’ll set you back $76,290 plus fees unless you want this year’s special appearance package which knocks on a stunning 80 grand.

Sitting in a segment populated by four-door sedans instead of high-riding crossovers is the Lexus ES – which, fun fact, is said to have stood for executive sedan when the nameplate first appeared all those years ago. These days, it is offered with numerous powertrain options for customers who have yet to be entranced by a tall driving position.

2025 Lexus ES Competitors

Inhabiting the same strata as the Lexus ES are cars like the Acura TLX, Cadillac CT5, and Genesis G80 (yes, the latter is roughly the same length). Arguments will be had for millennia if the Mercedes-Benz E-Class should be mentioned in the same breath.

What’s new with the Lexus ES for 2025?

The addition of a Black Line special edition to the ES 350 is news for this model year, enhancing the F Sport 2 grade with unique exterior and interior styling. Also, the ES 350 and ES 300h F Sport 2 now get a panoramic view monitor. Finally, the Lexus Safety System+ 2.5 is standard on all trims.

2025 Lexus ES Performance

There are no fewer than a does different trims in the ES catalog, comprising three distinct powertrains. A hybrid system deploys a 2.5L gasoline engine and electrified guts to make 215 horsepower. Making a lateral move in terms of performance is a non-hybrid 2.5L engine capable of mustering 203 peak horsepower. Capping the range in terms of power is a direct injection 3.5L V6 good for 302 horses.

2025 Lexus ES Efficiency

The ES 250 AWD model is rated by the feds at 9.6 L/100km city, 7.0 highway, and 8.4 combined. Popping for the hybrid, known as the ES 300h, improves those numbers significantly to 5.5, 5.2, and 5.3 respectively. Finally, the ES 350 slurps fuel to the tune of 10.7 city, 7.3 highway, and 9.2 combined. Adding an F Sport package to that dings performance by a couple of tenths.

2025 Lexus ES Safety

Other standard safety systems include the blind spot monitor system with rear cross traffic alert, and an on-board first aid kit. The ES 350, which stood as the test vehicle for all trims in crash testing, earned a Top Safety Pick.

2025 Lexus ES Reliability

Consumer Reports gives this sedan a towering 75-of-100 score for predicted reliability, thanks in no small part to the raft of positive data flowing from other models in the Lexus line. Predicted owner satisfaction is also quite high, with CR saying this four-door cruiser is a rewarding choice for road trips.

Some grades, like the top tier editions of the hybrid model, feature technology upgrades such as a 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen, a 17-speaker Mark Levinson premium surround sound audio system, and a 10” head-up display. To be frank, those are the trims you want in a luxury sedan.

2025 Lexus ES Dimensions

No matter the chosen powertrain, all Lexus ES models are the same size, measuring 4,974 millimetres (195.8 inches) long from bumper to bumper. Width is 1,865 mm (73.4 inches) and height is 1,445 mm (56.9 inches) which are comparable measurements to other sedans but may feel foreign to anyone trading out of a crossover – especially with ground clearance at just 150 mm (5.9 inches).
