Is Lexus the same as Lingzhi?

[Amy]

Lexus is indeed Lingzhi. Here is a detailed introduction to the Lexus brand: 1. Lingzhi and Lexus belong to the same brand, which is a globally renowned luxury automobile brand under the Toyota Group. 2. Lingzhi was the original name for LEXUS in China, while Lexus is the English pronunciation of LEXUS and the official name used by Toyota. The name 'Lingzhi' was given by the car dealers who represented the brand at the time. In 2001, Toyota officially introduced the Lexus brand into the Chinese market, hence renaming Lexus from 'Lingzhi' to 'Lexus'. 3. Lexus primarily develops high-end models for Toyota, including models such as LX, LFA, LFCC, NX, LC, and LS.
