Used Lexus cars overview

A Lexus makes a very sensible used car. Toyota’s luxury brand may not have the same breadth to its range as Audi or Mercedes, but the models it offers are invariably luxurious and reliable.

While Lexus began making saloons, in more recent times SUVs have been the core of the Lexus line-up. Most recent Lexus cars have been hybrid powered. While Lexus has been a little slow to offer pure-electric cars, these are now appearing on used forecourts in increasing numbers.

Lexus is renowned for the quality of its engineering and its reliability. Dealers have a reputation for taking care of their customers, too, and the warranty lasts up to 10 years if you use the franchised network for servicing.

Although you may find alternatives to a used Lexus that are more exciting to drive, as an all-round used buy a Lexus has much to offer.

Popular used Lexus models

The Lexus range offers SUV, saloons, coupés and more, often with fuel-sipping hybrid power.

Used Lexus NX

The Lexus NX is an upmarket family SUV. It looks sporty and comes packed with high-tech features. Hybrid power means it’s not as expensive to fuel as some alternatives with similar performance. However, it can be rather noisy if you use all the performance and the NX isn’t as much fun to drive as a used BMW X3 or Jaguar F-Pace.

Used Lexus UX

There’s a lot to like about a used Lexus UX, although the car has a few foibles that may put you off. Good points include the plush interior and excellent motorway refinement. Bad points include the tiny boot and dated infotainment. Overall, the UX is a good buy so long as it’s practical enough to meet your needs.

Used Lexus RZ

Lexus was slow to launch an electric vehicle, with the RZ being among the brand’s first. Look for one on a used forecourt if you value a quiet and refined driving experience and edgy design. On the other hand, rear visibility is poor, and the car is not as efficient as a Tesla Model Y.

Used Lexus RX

As the large SUV in the Lexus range, a used RX is an alternative to a BMW X5 or Mercedes GLE. Some of these similar cars have more boot space, and others have a third row of seats which the Lexus lacks. But the RX drives well and comes with lots of equipment. It’s very reliable and fuel efficient for such a big and heavy car.

Used Lexus LBX

The LBX is the smallest Lexus SUV, so it’s not the car to choose if you want lots of cabin space. However, it’s cheap to fuel thanks to efficient hybrid power. The LBX is quiet and easy to drive, too, making it a great choice for urban driving. The long warranty is another point in the car’s favour as a used buy.
