Special offer: Lexus

Lexus dealers will open their order books in October for the smallest car the prestige brand has ever offered UK drivers, the LBX compact SUV.

Toyota Lexus, which have offered hybrid petrol-electric powertrains since the 1990s and were among the first to move away from diesel last decade, face a "very difficult" short-term challenge in the UK Government's proposed zero emissions vehicle (ZEV) mandate.

A software enhancement for the moDel logistics platform has gone live with Toyota and Lexus GB to support their dealers with handovers to buyers using the brands' direct-to-consumer online sales channel.

The Lexus LFA has emerged as the most searched-for 'rare' car, in a study by confused.com.

Premium brand Lexus has joined the UK's Motability Scheme and is offering its self-charging hybrid UX 250h F Sport Design initially to scheme members, who receive a mobility allowance through the Department of Work and Pensions to help them with disabilities and mobility issues.
