Born in 1983 with a secret project that challenged us to reimagine luxury automotive, Lexus aimed to set new standards of production and aimed to build luxury automobiles that would outshine the world's best.

Today, the Lexus vision is simple - to create amazing. We believe real luxury is never superficial, but thoughtfully considered and gracefully delivered. It feels engaging, exhilarating, and deeply personal. Not merely personalised in the sense of product features, but genuinely compassionate. It's expressed through imaginative technology that's both effortless and intuitive. It's omotenashi that exceeds expectations with heartfelt hospitality. And its meticulous craft and refined elegance that captivate the senses. By making luxury personal, Lexus will authentically create happiness in motion.

We are committed to reducing our carbon footprint and striving towards a sustainable future. Grown from our genuine respect for the planet, we believe our actions can have a positive and lasting impact.

At Lexus, we strive to create an inclusive workplace that supports everyone reach their full potential. We do this through a long-term strategy supporting a network of 28 Dealers nation-wide, challenging projects, exciting experiences as well as various development and recognition opportunities.
