The label also prints an estimated $1,850 a year in fuel at 15,000 miles, and 259 g/mi of CO₂. EPA files the HS under Compact Cars, which is the class it gets compared against on the sticker.

Where to find the VIN on a Lexus HS
- WindshieldLower-left corner, driver's side, readable from outside without opening anything.
- Door jambOn the driver's door frame of every HS, next to the tyre-pressure and build-date plate.
- DocumentsRegistration, title and insurance card — on a Lexus HS all three must show the same number.
All four must match. A Lexus HS whose windshield plate disagrees with the door jamb has either had a panel replaced or a tampered identity — check the paperwork before any money changes hands.
