Buyer Warning All Lx years

Lexus Lx Years to AvoidThe weakest years — and the one you should buy instead

We reviewed all 30 Lexus Lx years and — unusually — found no years that meet our "avoid" criteria. The Lx is one of the rare models where every generation earns at least a moderate reliability score.

Good news

Every Lx year we analyzed scores at least 70/100.

Your decision is less about "which to avoid" and more about "which is the absolute best buy." Start with the highest-scoring year below.
