Lexus has long been known for the quality of its vehicles. Built to last, the brand’s sedans, crossovers, and SUVs are known for offering many years of trouble-free driving. Despite the near-unwavering reputation, it’s smart to know that Lexus owners can count on a comprehensive warranty package that will give them peace of mind if (or when) something goes wrong.
The basic warranty is a bumper-to-bumper and supply policy for 4 years or 50,000 miles. The warranty covers maintenance and changes to any vehicle component to correct defects in fabrics or workmanship. In addition, the powertrain limited warranty lasts for six years or 70,000 miles and covers the engine, transmission, transaxle, and powertrains.
Lexus offers a separate warranty for its hybrid cars. The hybrid battery modules, as well as the inverter and converter, are covered for 8 years or 100,000 miles, while the hybrid battery itself is covered for 10 years or 150,000 miles, but only on 2020 and newer cars.
Lexus’ 3 degrees of extended warranties (Extra Care Platinum, Gold, and Powertrain) are effective after the factory warranty expires (four years or 50,000 miles).
Based on the knowledge of Lexus brokers and our research, the automaker’s extended warranties average between $2800 and $3000, depending on the point of coverage, but we discovered reports of consumers paying up to $3700 or even $4000. Even those higher prices compare well to extended warranty prices on BMW or Mercedes-Benz products, but since brokers can value those products, it’s more productive to shop around.
The Platinum warranty covers almost the entire vehicle and can be almost a bumper-to-bumper warranty.
Major parts including the air conditioning/heating system, engine, transmission, axle, brake system, computer and electronics, engine cooling system, electrical parts, fuel system, hybrid parts, guidance system, and suspension are covered. Exclusions are wear and tear parts such as drive belts, batteries, brake pads and discs, filters, windshield wipers, etc.
Like Platinum, Gold covers the transmission, axle, and hybrid components. It also covers computers and electronics, air conditioning/heating systems, brakes, cooling systems, electrical systems, engine, fuel systems, guidance and suspension, but with detailed express exclusions. in category.
The 3 promises (Platinum, Gold, Powertrain) come with 24/7 roadside assistance and reimbursement for car rental, meals, and accommodations.
All Lexus warranty programs, in addition to the fundamental warranty, have the following exceptions/conditions when the vehicle is covered:
Lexus offers several coverage plans, including:
Some of these products are offered through third-party components and others through Lexus Financial Services, a component of Toyota Motor Credit Corporation (TMCC). Some states may also offer such products through Southeast Toyota Financial Services or World Omni Financial, corporations similar to TMCC.
Like most automakers, Lexus offers an extended warranty policy for used cars in its certified pre-owned vehicle (CPO) programs. Lexus calls them L/certified pre-owned cars and their CPO warranty is known as L/certified limited warranty. This extended warranty begins after the base warranty expires and remains in effect for two years with unlimited mileage.
For added peace of mind, each and every L/certified vehicle undergoes a 161-point quality inspection before being presented for sale at a Lexus dealership.
This warranty covers any repair or replacement of parts that fail in general use due to a defect in fabrics or workmanship, with the exception of a number of parts that are considered “wear and tear. “
In addition to the warranty policy itself, Lexus offers the following benefits to its CPO customers:
All new Lexus cars are covered by a four-year/50,000-mile new car warranty, as well as a powertrain limited warranty that covers the engine, transmission, transaxle, and powertrains for a total of six years or 70,000 miles.
Yes, but with a full warranty. Federal law requires electric powertrain parts and high-voltage batteries used in hybrid and all-electric cars to be covered for 8 years or 100,000 miles, which at Lexus applies to a wide diversity of electrified cars. Plus, the Lexus Hybrid Battery Warranty gives you peace of mind. of brain for 10 years or 150,000 miles, whichever comes first in 2020 and newer models.
Lexus extended warranty systems are known as “vehicle service contracts” and are available in three trim levels: Lexus Extra Care Platinum, Lexus Extra Care Gold and Lexus Extra Care Powertrain.
Yes. All Lexus extended warranties can be canceled within 30 days of purchase for a full refund (minus a $50 processing fee, as permitted by state law). Cancellations will be prorated if implemented after 30 days.
