Finally a Lexus sedan able to hold its own alongside its German rivals. The F Sport model with Normal, Sport and Sport+ driving modes is a far cry from the lacklustre Lexus sedans of the past. This rear driver uses a 306-hp V6 with a six-speed automatic. All-wheel drive versions are also available. The 450h, a relatively tame hybrid built for more traditional customers, comes with rear-wheel drive only and a CVT.

Pros

• Very good handling (F-Sport)
• Expressive silhouette
• All-wheel drive available
• The hybrid is fuel efficient
