A Brief History of Lexus

In 1983, the chairman of the famous car brand Toyota, Eiji Toyota, announced that he would make a challenge to make the world’s best car. After years of experiments and tests, the project which was also known as “F1”, ended in 1989 with the Lexus LS 400. The Lexus LS 400 was praised by many because of its “quietness”, quality engine performance, and fuel economy. Later on, Lexus was launched as Toyota’s luxury brand in the year 1986. Lexus came from the name “Alexis” but it was later changed to Lexus because they don’t want it to be associated with the popular 1980s-character Alexis Carrington from the drama Dynasty. It was also the time when the Lexus slogan “The Relentless Pursuit of Perfection” became known. In its first year of sales in 1990, Lexus successfully sold a total of 63,594 vehicles in the United States alone. And in the year 1991, it ranked the highest in J.D Power along with its associate’s studies on vehicle quality, sales satisfaction, and customer satisfaction.

In the same year, Lexus launched its first-ever sports coupe known as the SC 400, alongside the ES 300 sedan – which later on became Lexus’ best seller. In 1996, Lexus also launched its first sports vehicle called the LX 450. Two years later they also debuted their first luxury-brand crossover SUV, the RX 300. 1999 was also an unforgettable year for Lexus because it was the same year where they recorded their first one-millionth vehicle sold in the United States. However, in 2005, Lexus completed an organizational separation from Toyota with better and more dedicated designs, engineering, manufacturing, and training in their division. Because of its success and the high-quality performance of each Lexus model, it’s no surprise that a lot of people in California drive a Lexus car.
