Is Lexus an Imported Car?
2 Answers
Lexus is an imported car brand. The models under Lexus include: Lexus CT, Lexus ES, Lexus LS, Lexus IS, and Lexus GS. Taking the Lexus CT as an example: The Lexus CT is a compact car with dimensions of 4360mm in length, 1765mm in width, and 1455mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2600mm. This car is equipped with a 1.8L L4 engine, featuring natural aspiration, with a maximum horsepower of 99ps and a maximum torque of 142nm. The Lexus CT adopts a front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout, with electric power steering and a unibody structure.
I often see netizens asking whether Lexus is an imported car. Actually, this depends on the specific region. For example, in the U.S., most Lexus vehicles are produced in local factories. Toyota has several large plants in North America dedicated to manufacturing them, so the costs are lower and the prices are more affordable. In China and some other markets, due to limited local production scale, Lexus is mainly sold through imports, leading to higher prices. From my own driving experience, I’ve noticed that many people mistakenly believe it’s purely imported because the brand originated from Japan’s luxury car lineup, but its globalization strategy makes it flexible. I recommend checking the production label or asking the dealer before purchasing. The place of production doesn’t affect quality, but it can save you money. In short, Lexus isn’t always imported—it varies by market. Hope this explanation clears things up.
