Lexus believes that collision protection starts with prevention, so vehicles from Lexus offer many safety and driver-assistance features to help keep everyone safe on the road. Collisions occur for various reasons, including driver error and acts of nature, and sometimes can't be avoided. When you can't avoid a collision, you need to know that your vehicle is built to help protect you and your passengers. The Lexus Safety System is a comprehensive suite of advanced technologies. Here are the Lexus Safety features explained: Advanced Airbag System Lexus Safety Features Each Lexus vehicle features a high-strength frame and advanced airbag system to help protect you and your passengers should your Lexus be involved in a collision. You get a 10-airbag system, including two front impact airbags, two front, and two rear roof-mounted side-curtain airbags, and two front and two rear seat-mounted side-impact airbags. Standard Safety Features Your Lexus has many features that contribute to your safety, such as a four-wheel anti-lock braking system with brake assist and an electronic brakeforce distribution that helps you stop on a dime when needed. Vehicle stability and traction control systems work hard to keep you on your intended path. The tire pressure monitoring system helps keep your tire pressure safe. Additional Safety and Driver-Assistance Features Your Lexus may also include a digital rearview mirror that lets you see what's behind your vehicle, even when the cargo area of your Lexus is full. Parking sensors are designed to help you get your Lexus into tight spots or warn you of obstacles around your vehicle that you may not see. A blind-spot monitor with rear cross-traffic alert warns you about vehicles in your blind spot during lane changes. It also warns you of objects behind your vehicle when in reverse. Lexus Safety System The Lexus Safety System + is the base safety suite from Lexus and comes with the following safety and driver-assistance features: Pre-Collision System With Pedestrian Detection Using radar and camera capabilities, your Lexus can detect an impending collision and alert you to it or apply the brakes in certain situations. The Lexus forward collision mitigation system includes pedestrian detection to locate pedestrians in the daytime and low-light conditions, as well as bicyclists in daylight. When an impending collision, bicyclist, or pedestrian is detected, this driver assistance feature can help steer your vehicle out of the way or apply the brakes to bring your Lexus to a complete stop. Lane Departure Alert Lane departure alert uses your vehicle's camera system to detect the visible yellow and white lines on the roadway to help keep your vehicle in your lane. If you start deviating from your lane, this feature will visually and audibly alert you and remind you to check your position and adjust as necessary. Lane Departure Alert With Steering Assist The added feature of steering assist to the lane departure alert not only alerts you visually and audibly to check your lane position, but it can also gently steer your Lexus back into your lane. Lane Departure Alert With Steering Assist and Lane-Keep Assist Lane-keep assist, added to the lane departure alert with steering assist, is used when your dynamic radar cruise control is on to help keep you in the correct lane. You must be holding the steering wheel for this feature to work. Intelligent High Beams Your Lexus can automatically change from dim to bright headlights using intelligent high beams, allowing you to keep your focus on the road ahead. When your Lexus detects headlights or taillights ahead of you, it will switch from high-beam mode to low beams to keep from blinding other drivers on the road. High-Speed Dynamic Radar Cruise Control When you set the cruise control on your Lexus, the high-speed dynamic radar cruise control will automatically maintain a safe distance between you and the vehicle in front of you. This system adjusts your vehicle's speed within a set range, using your in-vehicle camera and a grille-mounted millimeter-wave radar to decelerate when necessary to keep you at a safe following distance. All-Speed Dynamic Radar Cruise Control The all-speed dynamic radar cruise control system upgrades the high-speed system by detecting other vehicles at any speed and adjusting your speed accordingly. This system works to maintain a safe following distance in stop-and-go traffic, as well as at highway speeds. Lexus Safety System + 2.0 and 2.5 The Lexus Safety Systems + 2.0 and 2.5 add two additional features to the driver-assistance lineup in your Lexus: Road Sign Assist The built-in camera in your Lexus can detect and read road sign information to alert you of specific detected signs to keep you from missing them. Your Lexus will recognize speed limit signs, stop signs, do not enter signs, and yield signs to help keep you safer on the road. Lane-Tracing Assist When using all-speed dynamic radar cruise control, lane-tracing assist monitors lane markings to keep you centered in your lane. Lane-tracing assist uses steering assistance to help keep you between the lines. Lexus Safety System + 3.0 You get two additional driver-assistance features on the Lexus Safety System 3.0: Curve Speed Management Added to Dynamic Radar Cruise Control With curve speed management added to dynamic radar cruise control, your Lexus uses radar and cameras to detect upcoming curves and adjust your speed appropriately. This system can lower your speed automatically as you go around a curve. Additional Intersection Support Your Lexus can detect motorcycles, bicyclists, and other vehicles at intersections to help you stay safe when coming off a stop sign or light. Standard Safety Systems for 2022 Lexus Vehicles The Lexus Safety System + is standard on the GX, LC, RC, and RCF. You get the Lexus Safety System + 2.0 on the UX, RX, and RXL. The Lexus Safety System + 2.5 is found on the LX, ES, IS, and LS. The only 2022 vehicle with the Lexus Safety System + 3.0 is the NX.

Not everyone wants a brand-new vehicle. Many dealerships offer great options for quality used vehicles, including certified pre-owned (CPO) vehicles. The Lexus L/Certified program stands out as a CPO vehicle option among luxury brands. See why Lexus L/Certified has been named the U.S. News & World Report top pick for the best CPO program for five years in a row. What Is the Lexus L/Certified Program? View Certified Pre-Owned Lexus Vehicles 2023 Lexus IS The Lexus L/Certified program offers unlimited mileage for two years beyond what remains of the original 4-year/50,000-mile new car warranty on a Lexus vehicle. That means you get six years and unlimited miles of limited powertrain and bumper-to-bumper coverage from the date the vehicle was initially purchased. You won't have to pay a deductible if you need to take your Lexus in for a repair during the covered warranty period. Lexus SUVs and cars must pass a 161-point inspection, have 75,000 or fewer miles on the odometer, and be less than seven years old to qualify as L/Certified. Some Lexus dealers can offer CPO deals for financing, including rates as low as 0% on certain L/Certified models. While other luxury brands offer CPO programs, the Lexus L/Certified program is more comprehensive than others. L/Certified vehicles get four scheduled maintenance visits, 24-hour roadside assistance, a service loaner for use during covered repairs, and a trip-interruption service that provides reimbursements for up to $50/day for five days of rental car fees, meals, and up to $200/night for three nights of lodging. The only disappointing feature of the Lexus L/Certified program is that it's non-transferable. Lexus L/Certified Certification Process Lexus vehicles that have fewer than 75,000 miles and are less than seven years old are put through an exhaustive series of examinations by a specially trained technician at your local Lexus dealership. This process helps ensure quality, reliability, and customer confidence, as only the best pre-owned Lexus SUVs and cars qualify and are available exclusively at your Lexus dealer. The 161-point inspection includes a vehicle history and testing on the exterior, interior, cargo area, under the hood, hoist, and road. You can download a copy of the checklist to view the specifics of each category for assurance that you're getting the very best with a Lexus L/Certified vehicle. Lexus L/Certified Financing Lexus Financial Services has programs to purchase or lease a Lexus L/Certified vehicle, including special programs for military personnel and recent college graduates. You can lease a Lexus L/Certified vehicle for 24 to 48 months, depending on the vehicle's age. The lease program is eligible for pre-owned L/Certified vehicles up to four years old. You can trade in your current vehicle toward purchasing a Lexus L/Certified vehicle and get top dollar for your trade. Protection plans through Lexus are also available for many L/Certified vehicles. These extended warranties can help further protect your purchase after you drive off the lot. Various options are available, including: Lexus Extra Care L/Certified Plan. Covers the mechanical breakdown costs after the vehicle's factory warranty expires. L/Certified Prepaid Maintenance Plan. Keeps your L/Certified Lexus running at peak performance. Excess Wear and Use Protection. Protects you from excessive wear or use charges on your Lexus lease return. Guaranteed Auto Protection. Bridges the gap between what you owe and your vehicle's value in the event your vehicle is considered a total loss. Tire and Wheel Protection. Depending on your protection, this warranty can cover your tires, wheels, paintless dent repairs, windshield repairs, and key replacement costs. For more details, contact your local Lexus dealer for current Lexus L/Certified offers in your area. In the Santa Clara and San Jose areas, you can reach out to the knowledgeable team at Lexus of Stevens Creek. What Lexus Models Are Available as L/Certified?

The future of Lexus has arrived. The all-new Lexus RZ 450E offers next-generation technology and intelligent all-electric performance. The first-ever fully electric vehicle by Lexus, the RZ provides features only Lexus can, including a streamlined design, sustainable power, and several luxuries added with you in mind. The 450E is more than just your basic electric vehicle; it's an entirely new chapter for mobility and electric cars everywhere. Let's look at the all-new Lexus RZ 450E to find out why driving enthusiasts are so excited about this vehicle. All-Electric Performance 2023 Lexus RZ 450e With 312 total system horsepower, the all-electric Lexus RZ 450E is as powerful as any gas-powered vehicle, perhaps even more so. The instant power comes from the 71.4 kWh battery paired with a 150-kW motor in the front and an 80-kW rear motor. With a range of up to 225 miles, it's easier than ever to travel on electricity. An electronically controlled continuously variable transmission will help power you forward and deliver a smooth, comfortable ride for everyone inside. This powerful SUV allows you to go from zero to 60 mph in an estimated 5.2 seconds. A newly developed high-output electronic axle fully integrates the transaxle, motor, and inverter to benefit your spacious interior, superb design, and of course, your electric cruise range. DIRECT4 is an all-wheel-drive system that uses information including acceleration, speed, and steering angle to improve handling stability, start-up acceleration, and low power consumption. Highly Intuitive Technology Sustainability and style have intertwined to bring you the all-new Lexus 450E. Inside, you'll find highly intuitive technology features and options designed to improve your driving experience. Thanks to available Intelligent Assistant integration, Lexus Interface is more accurate and involved than ever before. This system will allow you to control most vehicle features with only your voice and recognize more of what you want as it gets smarter over time. A 14-inch touch-screen display will enable you to access anything you need quickly. A cloud-based navigation system will provide real-time route information and more accurate directions. You can connect with the wireless phone charger, wireless Android Auto, and wireless Apple CarPlay. Additional charging and connection options include five USB type-C ports. A head-up display will show you information from the audio, drive select mode, and navigation systems, so you don't have to take your eyes off the road. This feature is standard on the Luxury trim level. Lexus engineers have pursued a new in-cabin sound under the Lexus Electrified vision. The New Sound of Lexus conveys the excitement of driving by establishing a dialogue between the RZ and the driver, matching a sound to the current speed and the sound levels during actions such as acceleration. Refined Interior The beautifully designed interior of the all-new RZ 450E combines luxurious comfort and high-end design. The digital latch with a safe exit assistance design can prevent doors from opening into traffic and allows you to open them when conditions are determined to be clear. Ambient interior illumination will change the lighting shades projected to add a specific ambiance to your ride. Seating options for the RX 450E Premium include NuLuxe-trimmed front seats with a Lexus Memory System for the driver's seat, outside mirrors, and steering wheel. Seats are both heated and ventilated, so you can stay comfortable in any weather. A radiant front knee heater is available for your comfort in cold weather. You'll even get a heated steering wheel. The RZ 450E Luxury will include standard features such as the radiant front knee heater and heated rear outboard seats. Instead of NuLuxe seating, you'll get Ultrasuede-trimmed seats. You can choose your interior colors on either trim with options including Dapple Gray, Orange/Macadamia, and Palomino. Eloquent Exterior The eloquent exterior design of the RZ offers seamless lines, attention-grabbing details, and a pure Lexus aesthetic. This new design is available in two trim levels: Premium and Luxury. With the Premium, you'll get standard features such as 18-inch five-spoke alloy wheels in a Dark Metallic Gray and machined finish, a panorama glass roof, and a power rear door with a kick sensor. The Luxury will add 20-inch split 10-spoke wheels with Black and machined finish, acoustic front and rear side glass, door courtesy lamps, and an available dimming glass roof. Each RZ 450E comes with a Spindle Body instead of the signature Lexus spindle grill. The Spindle Body focuses on aerodynamics, optimized proportions, and style rather than serving an internal combustion engine’s cooling and exhaust needs. This new look opens the door for future electric Lexus vehicles and establishes an entirely new aesthetic. Lexus Safety Sense+ 3.0 System You can drive safer thanks to the Lexus Safety Sense+ 3.0 system. This suite is standard on the new RZ and packed with the latest driver assistance features offered by Lexus. Standard features include adaptive cruise control and automatic emergency braking. You'll also get a driver monitoring system to track your attentiveness and adjust warnings based on whether you're tired or distracted. If it senses that driving further is no longer advisable, it will bring the vehicle to a stop. Also included are lane departure warnings, rear cross-traffic warnings, and blind spot warnings. Automated parking is available and will remotely park in perpendicular and parallel spaces and has the ability to back into parking spots too.
