Default have '24 LC coupe, which '25 model to get for her highness

Just LUV my 24 LC coupe, could not be happier.
Problem,,, momm has 17 Honda CRV, 105K..ive replaced all wear out items except water pump, alternator.
which model(no all electric) is equivalent to CRV.. she has to haul her 2 parents in 90s around so need comfort,easy ingress/egress and still look sporty for her in a "luxury" type vehicle. Would like to stick with Lexus but open to other brands that arent German(ex Porsche 991.2 owner).Its really confusing as there are numerous cars/manufacturers that have similar vehicles....looking for NEW 25. no electric,, hybrid possible and gas preferred..Shes retired and mainly runs errand and takes her folks to DR appts 30 miles away...We are scared of range anxiety with all electric..

Get another LC500. I’m sure you can stuff the 90 years old parents in the back of an LC500.
Haha. I’m looking for a 2013-2017 LS460 myself to compliment the LC for winter driving.

I think the new ES or LS would be ideal to haul the elderly around. The RX/GXLX might be a little difficult to get in and out.

Also the UX and Crown Signa might be worth a look too.

I agree what does this have to do with an lc 500 forum.
Soon we will have discussions on what is for dinner and home repair!?

Probably can’t go wrong with the Honda or Toyota models.
How about a Subaru? Or the Genesis GV70?

I like the NX (biased since we have one?) and find it very responsive for what it is. Easy entry, good storage.

The Signia has really caught my eye. I'm going to test drive it when it comes out. If the road position looks more wagon than SUV I may nudge my wife to replace her C300 coupe with it. Unlikely though, she asked me to leave her car alone

Not released here in Canada yet. I'd say to probably expect to see one in a dealership by late August. If it's anything like the Crown in Canada, they don't sell well at all, and most dealerships won't even have one for demo purposes. The only chances I've had to test drive a Crown are "one got traded in", or "Our Sales Manager has one on lease I can try to coordinate to borrow his". I think the Signia will be even more rare. That being said, the closest thing to a Crown (the now departed Avalon) didn't sell at all in Canada, but I saw a lot on the road in the US. So maybe you'll have more luck.

The most equivalent Lexus to a CRV is the NX. It's available as hybrid.

But if her driving radius is 30-50 miles, and she can charge at home, then range anxiety for an EV is baseless. It's actually perfect.

If you want a Lexus the equivalent in size would be the NX.
