===Model nomenclature===
Lexus production models are named [[alphanumeric]]ally using two-letter designations followed by three digits. The first letter indicates relative status in the Lexus model range ([[ranking]]),<ref name=lnam>{{cite news|url=https://money.cnn.com/2004/09/07/pf/autos/car_name_decoder/|title=Car name decoder|date=11 September 2004|publisher=CNN|access-date=1 February 2009|last=Valdes-Dapena|first=Peter|archive-date=26 April 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210426132013/https://money.cnn.com/2004/09/07/pf/autos/car_name_decoder/|url-status=live}}</ref> and the second letter refers to [[car body style]] or type<ref name=lnam/> (e.g. LS for 'luxury sedan'). The three digits commonly indicate [[engine displacement]] in liters multiplied by a factor of one hundred (e.g. 350 for a 3.5 L engine),<ref name=lnam/> except in the case of turbocharged and hybrid vehicles, for which the digits correspond to the displacement of a [[naturally aspirated engine]] with equivalent output (on hybrids, the three digits refer to the combined gasoline-electric output).<ref name=hyh/><ref>{{cite web|url=https://abcnews.go.com/Business/story?id=5229039&page=1|access-date=24 May 2021|date=24 June 2008|publisher=USA Today|title=Test Drive: You will pay a lot, but Lexus 600h delivers|archive-date=25 May 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210525202554/https://abcnews.go.com/Business/story?id=5229039&page=1|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.autoguide.com/auto-news/2017/08/lexus-renames-its-models-because-bigger-is-better.html|last=Siu|first=Jason|access-date=24 May 2021|date=31 August 2017|publisher=AutoGuide|title=Lexus Renames Turbo IS and GS Because Bigger Is Better » AutoGuide.com News|archive-date=25 May 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210525202553/https://www.autoguide.com/auto-news/2017/08/lexus-renames-its-models-because-bigger-is-better.html|url-status=live}}</ref> A space is used between the letters and numbers.
