MODEL COMPARISON
LEXUS VS TOYOTA -- WHICH SHOULD YOU BUY?
Why compare a regular brand to a luxury automaker? As you may know, Lexus and Toyota are part of the same company. That’s why they may share design engineering and/or manufacturing similarities, and that often leaves people asking how the two are different. Let’s look at the Lexus vs Toyota matchup.
Both Lexus and Toyota have earned a big fan base by offering a blend of affordable prices, fuel-efficient engine options, and high tech features. The two have impeccable safety records, repeatedly earning IIHS Top Safety Pick Awards and NHTSA 5-star ratings.
Both brands have often held the top spots for dependability with JD Power. Consumer Reports speaks highly of both brands. However, Lexus is top ranked of all brands in the 2023 JD Power Vehicle Dependability Study. Kelley Blue Book has awarded Lexus with the 2022 Most Trusted Luxury Brand and 2023 Best Luxury Brand for resale values.

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN LEXUS AND TOYOTA IN THE PHOENIX AREA
Luxury is the key difference that you will find in any Lexus vs Toyota comparison. Lexus vehicles always feature an impressive array of luxury amenities that the Toyota brand cannot match. This ranges from the finest leathers to real wood and carbon fiber.
Most critics point to the fact that Lexus has Toyota beat on these important luxury traits:
1. Performance
2. Elegance
3. Top Material Quality
4. Most Refined Fit and Finish
5. Most Advanced Technology Tools
We’d further note that ride quality is good in a Toyota, but it’s always superb in a Lexus. It’s a combination of more sound insulation and a more sophisticated suspension.
The lineups have models of similar sizes, but shoppers need to realize that they don’t match up inch for inch or style for style. While there may fall in the same category of sedan or SUV, the Lexus will always be more richly appointed than any Toyota sibling.
TOYOTA PRICES VS LEXUS PRICES
It also helps that the Lexus brand is more affordable than many luxury-brand competitors. That fact alone has ensured that it remains competitive against its Toyota sibling. For instance, Kelley Blue Book has called the Lexus ES a “stellar value proposition.” It notes that the Lexus LX has “class-leading resale value.”
The Lexus brand pricetag starts higher than a Toyota, but it is a luxury value package worthy of the cost. For that matter, it’s possible to pay more for a Toyota if you are trying to get the luxuries mostly reserved for the Lexus lineup. Here are some examples of Toyota and Lexus prices.
