Lexus Model Sales Japan : 2021-22


















Lexus didn't do that well in 2022 and from being about the same as Mercedes-Benz in 2021, was over 10,000 sales behind in 2022. At least in 2023 things are much better for Toyota's premium marque. 

Lexus doesn't do Kei cars as you might have guessed. Its range is mainly SUV's (models ending with an X), saloon cars (ending with a S) and sports cars (ending with a C for coupe or convertible). The odd one out is the now discontinued CT hatchback but I presume the T meant touring. 









The Models:

The newly released second generation NX (Top picture) led the charge with 12,000 registrations. Not much stood out from the rest with four models above 5,000 units but not much above that. The IS (just above in red) came next with 6,700 sales. The LC (bottom picture) saw its volume reduced by over half.

Summary: Lexus is a safe car to buy. Reliable and comfortable with a desire to be sporty but I'm not entirely convinced of the latter quality.
