Lexus

There is a particular kind of English shame that comes from arriving at a country pub in something the size of a small yacht, only to spend ten minutes reversing it into a space clearly designed for a Fiat Panda and a bicycle. I know this shame intimately. I have worn it like a poorly fitted dinner jacket. So when the keys to the Lexus LBX landed on my desk, my first reaction was not excitement about badge prestige or hybrid credentials. It was relief. Here, finally, was a Lexus that might fit into my life rather than requiring me to reorganise the entire village.

Having explored numerous Lexus models, the perpetual refinement evident in each iteration never fails to impress. But does the Lexus ES 300h uphold the legacy of Lexus technology while delivering the smooth comfort and effortless driving experience for which the brand is renowned?

For our review, we toured all around Somerset, Devon and Cornwall, taking in the gorgeous historic towns of Bath, Penryn and Falmouth.

Lexus unveils its latest marvel of maritime luxury: the LY680 Luxury Yacht, an evolution born from the acclaimed LY650 model, promising an elevated experience on the open waters. Boasting an expanded flybridge and a more generous swimming platform, this flagship vessel embodies Lexus's 'Crafted' design ethos, meticulously fashioned to surpass the discerning expectations of its clientele.

What better way to test the Lexus RX500h F Sport than a trip to the fabulous Headland Hotel, a magnificent baroque 5-star folly perched on a cliff overlooking Fistral Beach down in Newquay, Cornwall?  And the Lexus RX500h was the perfect touring companion, luxury first-class travel all the way.
