SpecificationsOur trio of Asian luxury sedans closely mirrors one another in terms of specifications, but there are a few key points to be made. The Lexus is the least powerful, but is also the lightest and gets the best fuel economy. The Infiniti is largest inside, and has the biggest trunk. The Acura makes the most horsepower, and gets excellent crash-test scores.
