The 2026 Lexus TX 500h and RX 500h are the two highest-output hybrid SUVs in the current Lexus lineup, and both use the same core technology: a 2.4 L turbocharged four-cylinder engine paired with a high-output electric motor and the Lexus DIRECT4 all-wheel-drive system. The powertrain architecture is closely related, but the vehicles they power are built for different buyers. The TX 500h is a...
If you know about cars – luxury cars, in particular – chances are you know about Lexus. The company is one of the pioneers of the Japanese luxury car segment and when it first arrived on the scene in 1989, it shook the establishment to the core for its comfort, performance and as we’d find out down the road, its reliability. Here are three reasons why a pre-owned Lexus is the luxury car for you.
Reliability
For starters, every new Lexus is sold with a four-year/80,000 km basic warranty so if you’re looking at a pre-owned Lexus from within that timeframe, you’re already ahead of the game. Then again, such is the durability and reliability of the Lexus – one of the pillars of the brand – that the warranty may not be quite so high on buyers’ lists. According to many mechanics, Lexus models are far above average when it comes to reliability. Moreover, most reliability rankings like J.D. Power put Lexus models at the top of the luxury vehicle segment.
Safety
Since at least 2020 (and prior, in many cases) Lexus vehicles have had Lexus Safety System+ safety tech, which offers a barrelful of safety tech. They include pre-collision system with pedestrian detection for both daytime and low light, a pre-collision system with emergency steering assist, lance centering (or “tracing”) assist, dynamic radar-based cruise control, and automatic high beams. When you’re in a Lexus, you’re in a safe environment.
Comfort
When the first LS sedan was advertised, they did so by putting a pyramid of champagne flutes on the hood of a running car and filing them without spilling a drop. That’s how important comfort was and has always been for Lexus. That continues today with top-quality leather, metals, an easy-to-use, and subtly comfortable climate control system, top-drawer seats (sometimes with a massage feature), and chassis tuning slanted towards the comfortable as opposed to the aggressive. Everything, down to the shape of the vehicles to help reduce wind noise has been tweaked ad infinitum.
You will find all of these features and more in pre-owned Lexus cars and SUVs. Give us a call today to learn more!
