Where Are Lexus Factories Located?
1 Answers
Lexus has five main factories, three of which are located in Japan: the Kyushu Plant in Fukuoka, Japan; the Tahara Plant in Aichi Prefecture; and the Motomachi Plant in Aichi Prefecture. The other two are the Ontario Plant in Canada and the Kentucky Plant in the United States. Here are some related details: 1. Lexus Vehicles Sold in China: 90% of the Lexus vehicles sold in China are produced at the Kyushu Plant in Fukuoka, Japan. There are only two Toyota-certified factories worldwide, and the Kyushu Plant is one of them. 2. Lexus Production Time: At the Kyushu Plant, it takes a total of 19 hours for a Lexus vehicle to go from initial stamping to final assembly and inspection of nearly 30,000 parts. The painting process alone takes about 10 hours, while assembly and inspection take approximately 5 hours. 3. All Lexus Models Are Produced to Grade A Standards: Toyota internally classifies its production standards into four grades: A, B, C, and D, with D being the lowest. Vehicles produced to D-grade standards include all of Toyota's compact cars and some larger models supplied to the U.S. market, such as the Yaris series, Vios series, and Highlander. C-grade standards apply to mainstream Toyota models like the Camry and Avalon. The Crown is produced to B-grade standards, while the Crown Majesta and all Lexus models are produced to A-grade standards.
