Lexus is the luxury division of the Japanese automotive manufacturer Toyota.
The Lexus brand was launched in 1989, is marketed in more than 70 countries worldwide, and has become Japan’s largest-selling make of premium cars.
For such a high-flying global leader, Lexus has a seemingly modest 156k cars on the road in the UK today.
In the UK, the Lexus brand focuses heavily on the NX and RX SUV models, it’s the fastest growing market for family cars after all; but each of the hatchbacks, saloons and coupés in its range come with the same high-level of luxury and sophistication for their £25–£76k price tags.
Lexus was born to present itself as a luxury brand, something Toyota wasn’t in a position to market to their typical customer given their existing brand perception. To achieve a true luxury standard, they have targeted both vehicle development as well as their lavish presentation.
Each vehicle has to achieve 500 specific must have standards known as ‘Lexus Musts’, all of which are to attain the high-end presentation and performance of a ‘true’ luxury marque.
Although they might not all be ‘Lexus Musts’ you can expect to find criteria such as leather seat stitching, smart key entry, remote touch control systems, surround sound and reduced cabin noise that utilises acoustic glass, in your Lexus vehicle. And the driving technology is just as impressive: Lexus introduced continuously variable transmissions, regenerative brakes, hybrid and electric fuel options, as well as vehicle stability and integrated dynamic handling management systems.
Lexus ranked 2nd place out of 30 car brands in the What Car? Reliability Survey in 2018. Their high standards and typical Japanese reliability set them above every marque except Suzuki, and they only missed out on the top spot by 0.2%.
Various recalls have been made on Lexus models throughout their motoring history. The following are a list of the most recent in the UK and Europe.
The emergency calling system may not be correctly installed
Due to an incorrect tyre to the wheel assembly process, the sidewall reinforcement layer may become damaged
The ammonium nitrate propellant used in the airbag inflator may degrade over time due to heat cycles
A crack in the fuel pulsation damper may lead to a fuel leak
The vehicles’ electronic control unit has been improperly programmed
The pulsation damper in one of the high-pressure fuel pumps could be defective
There could be a fault with the pressure sensors for the airbag system
The tank may develop a leak as a result of defective welding
