Lexus New Zealand sales hit record high

Lexus New Zealand has hit an annual sales record with one month still to go in 2025, the brand reports. 

Surpassing the previous record of 1,327 set in 2024, Lexus finished November with 1,352 vehicles sold. 

At this figure year-to-date, Lexus has reportedly cemented itself as New Zealand’s second-favourite manufacturer in the luxury segment. 

Speaking on this achievement, Lexus New Zealand Vice President Andrew Davis attributes it to the “trust” Kiwis have in the brand. 

“This has been a challenging market, so we are genuinely grateful to the customers who chose Lexus this year. Their confidence in our quality, our craftsmanship and our long-term value is what has driven this performance. Lexus exists to serve its owners, and we are proud to have earned that loyalty.”

Looking forward, Lexus will be introducing the all-new RZ SUV this month. The highlight of this vehicle is its steer-by-wire system that is meant to provide a smoother and more precise driving experience.

Lexus also notes this new RZ SUV will be displayed at the ASB Classic in January 2026. 

The new ES will be arriving in mid-2026, and will be Lexus’ first connected car, capable of receiving over-the-air updates. 

“We are entering an important period of growth, powered by new technology, connected features and the added assurance of Lexus Service Protect. Our focus is delivering an exceptional experience beyond the drive, at every point of the customer journey. We’re grateful for the trust New Zealanders continue to place in Lexus,” Davis added.
