Lexus Saloon Cars

The saloon car, also known as a sedan, has been the most popular type of car for the everyday driver for decades. Designed to be comfortable, spacious and practical, saloon cars are also a very family-friendly choice. Today’s saloons are more refined than ever, offering luxurious comfort, unprecedented power and performance, and exceptional reliability.

But what is a saloon car? Here is an introduction to this type of car, and what you can expect from Al-Futtaim Lexus when it comes to premium quality sedans.

The definition of a saloon car

Originating from the French word ‘Salon’ for a large room, a saloon car has to be spacious to qualify as a genuine sedan. A saloon car is also made up of three sections, with a separate luggage compartment separated from the main cabin by the rear bulkhead, and an engine bay at the front. Because the main cabin and the rear luggage compartment are separate, these cars are also referred to as four-door rather than five-door. The terms saloon and sedan are interchangeable, and which one is used will depend on the brand’s preference. With Lexus, sedan is the optimum term used, indicating that these cars are firmly positioned in the luxury end of the market.

What sedans are on offer at Lexus?

Lexus has three main sedans in its range – the Lexus IS, the Lexus ES, and the Lexus LS.

 The Lexus IS

The Lexus IS represents the epitome of sedan car driving. With a balance of refined engineering, quality craftsmanship and flawless performance, the IS 2023 is a perfect choice for urban professionals. Packed with innovation, it has an enviable reputation for safety, with the class-leading Lexus Safety System+ providing you with the most advanced collection of reactive and preventative safety measures.

The Lexus IS comes in two trims – the IS 300 with a 2.0Ltr turbocharged engine and the Lexus IS 350 with a 3.5Ltr V6 engine. That iconic pinched spindle grille sets off the sleek lines and graceful exterior, balanced by a soothing and tranquil interior. The Lexus IS represents balance and refinement, perfectly partnered with power and performance.

 The Lexus ES

Effortlessly stylish and incorporating cutting-edge design and technology, the Lexus ES is a sheer pleasure to drive. This popular sedan car epitomises the concept of luxury driving and is a favourite among drivers who want a combination of a thrilling driving experience combined with reliability and practicality. Sprinkle a little styling refinement on top and you have the quintessential sedan car from Lexus.

The ES is all about blending and harmonising the various elements that make up the ideal sedan car. From BladeScanTM Adaptive High Beam lights to the iconic spindle grille, a potent 3.5Ltr V6 engine and a refined cabin interior, each part of the ES has been carefully designed to work in harmony. This elevated level of sophistication makes it hugely popular with young professionals who want a car that makes a statement about who they are, their aspirations, and their expectations. The Lexus ES meets all of those, and more.

The Lexus LS

Finally, we come to the Lexus LS, the flagship sedan that continues to hold its place at the top of the list for the ultimate luxury sedan. Every part of this sedan has been meticulously developed to create a truly legendary car. It surpasses almost any other sedan on the road for its sheer elegance and refinement. This is a car that incorporates traditional Takumi craftsmanship throughout, which is why every detail of this car, down to the light in the glovebox and the hand-pleated upholstery, is genuinely flawless.

A 416hp twin-turbo V6 engine delivers outstanding power, and the development of the unique LS 500 turbochargers also makes it incredibly efficient as well as immensely powerful. Class-leading safety ensures total peace of mind, making the LS a real family-friendly car.
