Models such as CT, LS, LC all have a meaning!
Model names of cars are very important for companies. These model names, which provide identity to their products, make the manufacturers’ models unique. While some automakers use certain words and phrases, some automakers like Lexus prefer to use letters to represent the logic behind each of their models.
Lexus’ UK department has revealed what these letters mean. We can say that the Japanese automaker has made quite logical choices in the names it has given to its luxury models. If you’re ready, let’s start!
Lexus CT
The model name of the luxury automaker’s five-door hatchback, the CT, comes from Creative Touring. Creative is a statement made because it uses no powertrain in a segment dominated by diesel-powered models, while Touring is made to prove that hybrid cars don’t have to sacrifice luggage and passenger space.
Lexus ES
The Lexus ES was originally launched at the same time as the LS. The ES is a smaller version of the flagship model, so it stands for Executive Sedan.
Lexus GS
Another sedan model of Lexus, GS, stands for Grand Sedan. The sedan model of the automaker, which is in the middle segment, continues to be offered to customers as the middle child of Lexus.
Lexus LC
It has to be said that Lexus LS has a seductive body. Group of letters used to describe the luxury coupe in the LC. LC, which stands for Luxury Coupe, refers to the car’s ability to deliver “a very special and rewarding driving experience”.
Lexus LFA
Lexus’ V10 supercar, the LFA, may appear to represent the Lexus Future Advance. But in car production form, the Lexus F- Sports was described as the Apex and went down in history as one of the best sports cars in the automobile world.
Lexus LS
The flagship model of the brand, the LS, is not only luxurious and glamorous, but also knows how to pamper both its driver and backseat occupants by offering a very successful driving pleasure. The term LS, which stands for “Luxury Sedan”, has been in use since 1989. With 60 designers, 2,300 technicians, 1,400 engineers and more than 200 support workers, the Lexus LS is a masterpiece!
