Experience Amazing

A Moment of Your Time

It’s short. It’s fleeting. Sometimes it flies, and sometimes it stands still. It catches up with us and passes us by. Sometimes it’s of the essence, and others we’ve got it to spare. Good, bad, wasted and well-spent, it can be passed in sorrow, or in celebration. It slips, it ticks, it heals all wounds and wounds all heels. It waits for no one, and never stops. It’s on our side. It’s our enemy. It’s all we have in this world. You can’t buy more of it, so make the most of it.

Yet Philosophy

Yet Philosophy

Since our inception, Lexus has continuously reinvented the concept of automotive luxury by bringing seemingly incompatible concepts into harmonious existence. This is our "Yet" Philosophy: Lexus indulges your desire for comfort and pleasure yet lives up to your high expectations for social and ecological responsibility.

Like our industry-leading line-up of Self-Charging Hybrid Electric vehicles that combine refined performance with environmental consciousness. In fact, by around 2025, every Lexus model around the world will be available either as a dedicated electrified model, or have an electrified option.

Hybrid technology is just one of the ways that Lexus leads the industry in contributing to a healthier planet. Our commitment to recovering, recycling and reusing permeates the entire company, and continues throughout the lifecycle of the vehicles we manufacture. Always seeking to go further and do more, Lexus has also committed to achieving zero greenhouse gas emissions from our global operations by 2050.
