This page lists 96 cars that start with L, running from “Lada” to “Lavida”. The list covers car brands, individual models, and special vehicles such as rally cars, hypercars, and electric cars. You can use it to identify a car you spotted, find a name for a project, or learn about models from Lamborghini, Lancia, Land Rover, Lexus, Lincoln, and Lotus.

Cars are self-propelled road vehicles built to carry people, and the first practical models appeared in the late 1800s. A famous example is the “Lamborghini Countach,” whose wedge shape and scissor doors made it a bedroom-wall poster for a whole generation in the 1980s.

Car: The name of the car, model, or brand, listed alphabetically so you can quickly find the one you are looking for.

Brand: The company that makes or sold the car, which helps you see which models belong together, such as those from Lancia or Lexus.

Type: The body style or category of the car, such as sedan, hatchback, SUV, or supercar, so you can compare similar vehicles.

Production years: The years the car was built, so you can tell classic models from current ones and see how long each stayed on sale.
