Introduced by Toyota in 1989, Lexus enters the U.S. luxury market with the LS 400 and the ES 250, intending to challenge competing European premium brands by delivering quiet, refined vehicles with tight build quality and strong customer service. Lexus quickly adds more sedans and later introduces SUVs that help set a benchmark for modern luxury vehicles for everyday drivers.Consumers who buy used Lexus vehicles do so because of the long standing reputation for blending luxury features and durability, along with reasonable ownership costs for the segment, which creates strong resale demand.High profile nameplates such as the RX and NX crossovers, the ES sedan, and the body on frame GX SUV appeal to shoppers seeking the comfort of all wheel drive, proven long term reliability for long distance travel, and access to service and parts support across the Toyota network. Additionally, many of these models also offer hybrid options that attract buyers looking to reduce fuel costs, as well as those who have a long daily commute.Finally, safety remains important to consumers who want vehicles that perform well in crash tests and include advanced driver assistance systems such as Lexus Safety System Plus, especially in newer model years.Here are nine Lexus facts sellers may want to highlight:
