How reliable is a Lexus?

I love Lexus and I’m desperate for a new car. I’ve heard a lot about Toyota’s being reliable cars but is buying the higher-end brand a good choice?

You’re right,
Toyota
builds some solid, efficient, and reliable vehicles—but the Toyota-owned luxury car manufacturer
Lexus
is also known for their reliable cars. Lexus gets a reliability score of 81/100.
Each year, J.D. Power awards certain vehicles for quality, dependability, and performance and design—and several Lexus vehicles ranked highest in their segment.
The dependability ratings and awards measure the vehicle’s reliability based on more than 80,000 verified owners of 3-year-old vehicles. The rating focuses on the type and number of problems experienced by owners.
Here’s what Lexus won:
  • The 2018
    Lexus ES
    received the Dependability Award for compact premium car
  • The 2018
    Lexus GX
    received the Dependability Award for midsize premium SUV
  • The 2021
    Lexus UX
    received the Quality Award for small premium SUV
According to J.D. Power, Lexus ranks the highest in overall vehicle dependability among all car makes, receiving 81/100. This is the ninth time in 10 years that Lexus ranked the highest.
Maintenance costs and repairs can get expensive on a luxury car, but it’s easy to save money when you have a vehicle as reliable as a Lexus. And if you shop with
