Is the Maintenance Cost of Lexus High?

Lexus maintenance costs are quite high. More relevant information is as follows: 1. Lexus Free Maintenance Policy: Provides consumers with free maintenance for a certain period and mileage, but there is no so-called lifetime free maintenance. Specifically, Lexus offers 6 years or 150,000 kilometers of free maintenance for hybrid models, including 15 free maintenance services. For gasoline models, Lexus provides 4 years or 100,000 kilometers of free maintenance, including 10 free maintenance services. 2. Free Maintenance Items: Lexus free maintenance includes basic engine oil, oil filter, air filter, fuel filter, cabin air filter, spark plugs, brake pads, brake discs, wiper blades, brake linings, windshield washer fluid, brake rotors, fuel additives, spark plugs, gaskets, etc. It also includes a comprehensive 48-point vehicle inspection with no labor charges. The specific free maintenance items are detailed in the and .
Last week, I accompanied a friend to the 4S dealership for maintenance, and we happened to discuss the maintenance costs of Lexus. Honestly, the first few years of owning a Lexus don’t cost much—gasoline models come with 4 years or 100,000 km of free maintenance, while hybrid models extend that to 6 years or 150,000 km! However, after the free period ends, even a minor service can cost around a thousand yuan, and services like transmission fluid changes can double that. I remember my neighbor spent 12,000 yuan replacing the headlight assembly on his older ES model, but I advised him to use aftermarket parts from a tuning shop, which saved him half the cost. If you plan to keep the car long-term, I highly recommend purchasing an extended warranty—it’s much cheaper than repairing a transmission.
