Lexus vs Toyota Reliability - Can Anyone Beat Toyota?

Lexus vs Toyota Reliability - Can Anyone Beat Toyota?
When we put Lexus versus Toyota in terms of reliability, it's a tough comparison to make. These are both excellent brands when it comes to producing reliable cars, and they are part of the same company. However, there are some differences when it comes to #Lexus #reliability and #toyota reliability, and I think in the end that some of the statistics you've read aren't what you'll experience with these vehicles.

For the people who keep saying Toyota owns Lexus, as if there’s no difference. I’ve owned a Toyota for 4 years and two Lexus vehicles. One Lexus was totaled and the second I bought because I grew to love the vehicle. A Lexus handles completely different from a Toyota, I can assure you. The quality and materials are much more premium and solid than a Toyota. That’s if you care and appreciate those kinds of luxuries. I’ve grown an obsession with Lexus after owning two. Great quality, reliability, they hold their value best, and just an overall great investment. Compared to the investments I’ve seen other people put their money into. It’s like a heavy investment, with 0 headaches whether it will start up in the morning or not.

That was the year that I graduated high school so it's significant to me. If I could add just factory upgrade to my 1995 SC400 it'd be the OBD2 port. I was disappointed that Lexus still used the OBD1 in 1995. That really doesn't make a difference to me because I absolutely love my car. I still get compliments all the time about my baby.

Lexus Toyota both very reliable. The Toyota may take the crown because the Lexus gets the more advance technology. But it was also said that Lexus was more reliable than Toyota by consumer reports due to its premium customers. What sets the difference is repair cost. Luxury is always expensive when time to repair.

[@douchemonkey44]

How much more can a common repair cost? I'm either getting a lexus or toyota..

[@Odat]

Having owned over 7 Toyotas and 6 Lexuses, I would say both are very reliable. Where they differ is the build quality. Lexus vehicles feel a lot more solid and have much better sound insulation. Get in a Toyota 4 runner and a Lexus GX460 and you’ll see what I mean. The 4Runner seems like a toy in comparison. Is it worth the extra money?..sure if you have the money but Toyota is fine too If that’s what you get.

We have an older Lexus RX400h and it has over 160,000 miles, the only major thing so far is shocks/struts. Super reliable and everything still works amazing. Regular maintenance is key for any brand of car but toyota/Lexus is certainly more reliable and has higher quality than anything else.

Lexus is the most reliable luxury brand. Before any Lexus leaves the plant, they go through a big quality control check to make sure there are no problems with them

Both are good cars , however you are probably biased toward to Lexus since you were at a Lexus dealership, you probably work for them. To me the Lexus isn’t worth paying an extra $10,000-$15,000 more than the Toyota. Another thing I noticed in my 25 years of buying Toyota’s, their used car value is more than the Lexus. A used Lexus 6 -8 year old is like a Cadillac. The value drops on $40,000. Those premium HiTech are nice, but VERY EXPENSIVE to have repaired or when you go to trade one or buy one on a used lot. In the long run you’re $$$$$$$ in your pocket buying Toyota. Lexus like Cadillac, “a Status Symbol.”

Why is he comparing one company with itself? Lexus is made by Toyota, it's only named Lexus because of the marketing schemes that go into this kind of stuff. For example, if Toyota made luxury cars and named them "toyotas" , then there would be less sale because of the society we live in, we tend to make fun of people who own hondas and Toyota or Nissan's. People are like "oh that's just a Toyota" so that's why Toyota said fine we'll make a luxury division and name it something else to increase sales (same goes for hyuandai/genesis, honda/Acura, nissan/Infiniti, Volkswagen/audi/Lamborghini, Bugatti. Ford/lincoln, Etc.) . So really at the end of the day. A Lexus is a "dressed up Toyota" like he said in the video. "But still made by the same company.

[@ftnppg1272]

I drive Lexus cars but considering these statistics... These are the percentage of cars that are still on the road after 200k miles. Toyota Sequoia=7.5 percent Four Runner=3.9 percent Highlander=3.1 percent Avalon=2.5 percent Lexus does not make any of the list of cars still on the road after 200k miles. I blame the more expensive repairs, wrecks and parting out instead of repairing, and the fact that many Lexus owners are old and dont even take the mileage up that high. The Sequoia is one of the best SUVs made. Personally I have new body RX 350 and new body is 350 but if I could trade for a fully loaded Sequoia and Fully loaded Avalon I probably would. I dont trust lexus as much after the new spindle grill came out. Cars went down hill from there unless you fork out 100k and even then there are many other cars in that price range. Looking back I was sold on the fact my other Lexus cars are still on the road after 300k miles and I sold them after 15 years and 200k to 300k miles for a quarter of what I bought them for.

The mention of Camry Transmissions "not knowing what to do" is a common issue with all cars that have more than four gears and an overdrive. The six, seven, eight and more gears in transmissions now a days, require a second for the computer to determine what gear the driver is asking for. It seems like a long time for a computer but it's not considering what's involved. The problem is the driver. Quick jabs at the accelerator pedal confuse the computer. Take a moment longer after getting off the brake pedal and also press the accelerator lightly. It's a matter of slowing down the driver's actions. Once familiar with the occurrence your mind will train you not to cause the problem. It's just a matter of getting used to the car.

Here’s some first hand data for your consideration: I once bought a 1998 Toyota Camry 3.0 V6 - 495,000kms on the odo. I added a great music system with amps and all that. Drove her around for another 100,000kms - no sweat - ice cold a/c, predictable performance and butter smooth to drive. Wouldn’t go faster than 140km/hr, but who cared 😄 Now, my most recent car is a 2004 Lexus RX330 with 205,000kms on its odo. Typical known Lexus issues - a rear quarter window was missing its outer trim, the sunglass holder wouldn’t snap shut and after 17 years, the luxury Mark Levinson audio system with a CD changer and a cassette tape player (!?) was in bad shape. Got parts off eBay, replaced the outer window trim and the sunglass holder assembly myself. Got the factory door speakers professionally replaced with Alpine aftermarket speakers, then cleaned the cassette player head with isopropyl alcohol on an earbud, got a Au$10 cassette tape line-in adapter from JB Hi Fi and hooked up my iPhone to play Spotify via the 2004 cassette tape player. The sound quality blew my friends outta the water 😄. I’m amazed that it sounds so thumping good! The pre-iPhone era touch screen is brilliant by any standards. Drives like a dream too. Anyone got any such stories about a Cadillac, a Mercedes, a BMW a Volvo or an Audi? I’d doubt it - you’d be lucky if the a/c worked.

Scotty Kilmer says Lexus parts are WAY MORE EXPENSIVE, compared to the comparable Toyota part so you're paying extra for a badge, like designer jeans

[@ECPP]

That is true

[@Imran-Shah]

Sometimes Scotty has had too many drinks when making his videos. And you can take a Lexus to any Toyota dealer for maintenance. Except for warranty issues. So no, a Lexus is only more expensive to maintain if you decide to take it to a Lexus dealer. You are not paying extra for that badge. A Lexus is made with an entire different build philosophy.

Can you compare Toyota/Lexus with range rover, Benz, Bentley and Aston Martinez??

[@shahramkhayam4875]

@@THEKING-1 Well, based on our experiences, when you have Germans or British cars, those looks more luxurious, expensive and fancy. However, if you live out of Europe, the cost of repairs is too high, the time of the part delivery is too long and it cost a lot of money and eventually, the depreciation is too much. When you buy a Japanese car, especially Toyota or Lexus, those performed very well, those are luxurious, the part is always available and the most, the cost of the repair is very reasonable. Also, the vehicles have a high value, less depreciation and it last very long without giving you any troubles. Still it's up to you what you really love to drive. These are just based on our experience. I wish you all the best.

Hi, first of thanks for making such a great reviews on the Toyotas and Lexus. I am a big Fan of your channel! I have a question for you, Should I buy a brand new 2019 Toyota 4Runner limited or 2019 Lexus RX 350L ? Which one is a better option I am so lost and I can’t decide between them... btw pricing is not an issue! I am all about less maintenance, last longing and high in safety...please help me!! I appreciate your help! Thank you"

[@1beck2en3ham]

In my country Lexus is very expensive. Twice the price in the USA. TOYOTA price in my country is 1.5 the price in the USA.

[@user-tb7rn1il3q]

The 4Runner will last longer and is more reliable. The 4Runner is probably safer in all crashes except the small overlap. The RX is much more modern and car like. The 4R is a body on frame truck and uses more gas.

[@kianazary8853]

Thank you so much! I appreciate your help!

[@jackgaisano1640]

Toyota definitely Better Lexus has more features Therefore more chances of failure Common sense Murphy’s law.

[@atheistmecca971]

Absolutely wrong. Go look at a Lexus too see the difference. For example, the hood on a Lexus is pretty much sealed so the engine compartment and all the components do not get covered in dirt. The door panels have double weatherstripping do the door jams stay clean. They are just built better. I've got an RX 350 with 110,000 miles and it runs and drives perfectly with no issues at all. These can go over 400,000 miles. Nothing beats Lexus for reliability.

[@eman0828]

Not unless an ES as they are essential an Avalon with less electronic gizmos that can go wrong. Parts are far cheaper on an ES compared to any other Lexus model. Avalon and ES OEM lower control arms cost exactly the same price from the dealer.

[@Rika906]

Lexus is better built.

[@leahyoung1380]

On some Lexus models, Toyota parts can be used on them. I know because we own an automotive shop. I own an 08 Is250. Has 101,000. Still has all the factory parts on it. Nothing leaks. Runs amazing. Only thing I've had to do is basic maintenance and brakes.

[@eman0828]

@@leahyoung1380 parts on the IS are stupid expensive esp the front end suspension. Tuned suspension tends to be more on the priced side. The ES model is the cheapest in spare parts than any Lexus model as its really a Toyota Avalon. The lower control arms from both the Lexus and Toyota dealer are pretty much the same price for the Avalon and ES. Same part.

Seeing as Lexus is owned by Toyota, seems like there is your answer. Lexus is basically an up market Toyota! Go figure.

[@stuartalexander2657]

We have 2 2015 Lexus vehicles (GS350, RX350) and they're unbelievably reliable. I think there's another reason Lexus tends to be more reliable: their factory workers. They are hand picked from the Toyota side of the house; their best of the best. You can't just be Joe Lunchbucket Toyota factory worker and get to build Lexus'. No, it's HIGHLY competitive and considered quite the status symbol to be chosen to work with the Lexus brand. Lexus wants the best people to build their best cars......and it is paying off handsomely as a strategy.

[@sportyguyusa]

I don’t believe anyone would think Toyota’s are as reliable as Lexus. Lexus cars are far more well-made. On purpose. Toyota’s are very reliable, but not on the Lexus level.

[@ECPP]

Lexus cars are very sturdy

[@njsongwriter]

I understand that Lexus is made in Japan and the bulk of Toyotas sold here are made here. That is reason enough why Lexus should Excel but value per dollar is a whole 'nother thing. So at what cost?

Subbed. Nice channel! You seem very knowledgeable. I have a question for you. I have a 2019 Camry Hybrid. I live in Toronto Canada. Should I put ethanol free premium gas instead of regular ?

[@ECPP]

100 percent. Hi from Edmonton. I personally try to avoid anything with alcohol in it because it tends to separate water and create pockets of moisture especially if stored or driven infrequently. Alcohol tends to corrode certain parts of the fuel system as well. Bottom line, it will get you down the road and if you have to then go ahead, but I would go premium everyday, all day just for that reason. Cheers
