2 Answers
Lexus cars are purely imported vehicles. Here is more information about Lexus: 1. The models under the Lexus brand include: GS, ES, LS, IS, UX, etc. 2. Taking the 2021 Lexus LS as an example, it is a large-sized car. 3. The body dimensions are: length 5235mm, width 1900mm, height 1455mm, wheelbase 3125mm, and body weight 2215kg. 4. The 2021 Lexus LS is equipped with a 3.5L inline 6-cylinder naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum horsepower of 299ps, maximum torque of 350nm, maximum power of 220kw, and is paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission.
When I first bought a car, I also looked into the origin of Lexus. I drove a friend's IS model, which was indeed an import. Most models currently sold in the market are imported from Japan or the US. At the time of delivery, I had to go through a bunch of customs procedures, including tariffs and insurance fees, making the overall cost significantly higher than joint-venture brands. However, the driving experience is smooth, with stable chassis tuning that doesn't tire you out even on long drives. I frequently take long trips, and the quality assurance of imported cars gives me peace of mind, especially since the engine components are all original parts. During maintenance, I can get manufacturer-certified parts at the 4S store. The downside is the higher price—it's about 50,000 RMB more expensive than a domestically produced Audi in the same class. But the resale value is good, so the loss isn't significant when selling it after two years. I think choosing an imported car means factoring in these extra costs, but for users who prioritize performance and durability, it's still worth it.
