The Lexus GX, a luxury midsize SUV with a truck-like formidability and off-roading capability, has looked more or less the same since 2017, but that changes with the 2024 model year. Now it sits on the GA-F platform that Lexus introduced in 2022 and shows off a new bolder look with its squared-off lines and imposing stance. Its exterior appeal also hints at the rugged sophistication of its interior qualities, which help to create an enjoyable and luxurious driving experience. Let's examine the interior features of the 2024 Lexus GX as well as other characteristics that may interest you. more Interior Dimensions As of mid-July 2023, Lexus has yet to release official interior specifications for the 2024 GX, but there are some preliminary exterior specs we can compare with previous model years to get a sense of what to expect. At 197.04 inches long, 83.22 inches wide, and at least 75 inches high, the body of the 2024 Lexus GX is considerably larger than that of the outgoing model, which measured approximately 192, 74, and 74 inches, respectively. Seeing as the outgoing model had an interior capacity of 141.3 cubic feet, as well as a legroom split of about 42 and 34 inches in the front and rear, we can assume that the upcoming GX will be even more generous in the space department. New Cars For Sale in San Jose, CA Interior Design The official statement from Lexus is that the 2024 GX has a "calming, lux, and modern interior space." The design philosophy for the '24 GX was to balance the "tough exterior" of the off-roader with a more serene, yet still rugged, cabin. Hence the earth-tone color palette, as well as the premium touches like, semi-aniline leather, ar NuLuxe-trimmed interior, and Ultrasuede accents. The specific color and material options should vary depending on your choice of trim. Seating The Lexus GX can seat five to seven people across two to three rows. The exact seating capacity depends on the trim that you choose. The Premium and Luxury trims, along with their Plus versions, are available with two or three rows, while the range-topping Overtrail versions are strictly five-seat, two-row affairs. Should you opt for a three-row model, you have a couple of additional choices to make. One is between a standard second-row 60:40 split-bench seat or captain's chairs. The former gets you the maximum seven-seat capacity, while the latter reduces the capacity to six. The other choice is between power or manual seat configurations for the third row. Storage and Cargo As we mentioned, the 2024 Lexus GX is set to be noticeably larger than previous models in the line. Based on what Lexus has revealed so far, the added interior space translates to increased utility and cargo space as well. You'll find that there's more storage space in the center console and the door pockets. Around the cabin are 12 cupholders, which is double the number of seats in the three-row captain's-chair configuration. Using the 2024 GX for long-haul traveling should present few to no problems as far as luggage goes. Both the two- and the three-row configurations have more cargo space than in past models. To illustrate, Lexus states the vehicle can store up to five suitcases with the third row folded down. Those transporting larger loads should be happy to find additional storage spaces under the cargo area as well. Technology and Connectivity The 2024 Lexus GX comes equipped with the latest and greatest in vehicle technology. In the center dash is a 14-inch multimedia touchscreen with Lexus Interface technology. Lexus Interface includes Intelligent Assistant, which allows you to control certain features with voice commands. Just saying the words "hey, Lexus" activates the assistant, with which you can access the navigation function, your music, your phone, and the climate control. The in-cabin tech also includes a 12.3-inch digital driver display, wireless Apple CarPlay integration, and Android Auto compatibility. Of note, Lexus has designed the interior of the 2024 GX with the driver in mind, and it shows in some of the tech choices. One is the decision to use physical dials for the cooling/heating system as well as for the audio volume — a conscious veering away from touchscreen controls that drivers have long found impractical while operating a vehicle. Another is the concentration of off-roading controls near the gear shifter, a placement intended to minimize driver distractions. You also get a 10-speaker premium surround-sound system, which comes standard. If you wanted, though, you could upgrade the sound system to a 21-speaker Mark Levinson surround-sound arrangement. And for passengers' personal devices, there are four to six illuminated charging ports throughout the cabin, plus the option for wireless charging. Safety Riding in the 2024 Lexus GX is also about staying safe. To that end, every '24 GX comes with an infotainment system integrated with Standard Lexus Safety Systems+ 3.0, a comprehensive suite of active safety and driver-assist features that include, but aren't limited to: Pre-collision system with pedestrian detection: Helps to detect vehicles, cyclists, motorcyclists, and pedestrians, providing automatic emergency braking when necessary All-speed dynamic radar cruise control: An adaptive cruise control system used on highways to maintain a preset distance from the vehicle in front of you Lane-tracing assist: Uses the lines on the road, as well as other vehicles, to help keep your vehicle centered in your lane Proactive driving assist: Uses the vehicle's camera and radar to initiate gentle braking or steering when necessary, such as when riding into curves or for controlling the distance between you and others on the road Want To Learn More About the All-New 2024 Lexus GX?

The F Sport variant sets itself apart from the standard RX 350 with bold visual cues that speak volumes about its performance capabilities. At the forefront of the F Sport's exterior design is the distinctive grille — a signature element of Lexus' design language. This bold grille gives the RX 350 F Sport an aggressive front fascia that demands attention on the road. Complementing this are unique front and rear bumpers that enhance the vehicle's aerodynamic profile while adding a touch of sporty flair.

As winter approaches, you'll want to start prepping your vehicle for inclement weather. The National Highway Traffic Administration recommends several steps to prepare for winter driving. These include having an emergency kit in your vehicle, ensuring that your windshield wipers are in top shape, and replacing your summer tires with snow or winter tires. Having specialized snow tires made by a reputable tire brand installed on your Lexus can give you peace of mind that you'll have grip and stopping power when you need it most while driving on snowy and icy roads when the temperature plummets. more What Are Snow Tires? Snow or winter tires are specialized tires designed to grip snowy, icy, or slushy roads, which may occur when the temperature falls below 45 to 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Tire manufacturers use a different type of tread rubber called hydrophilic (water-loving) rubber for winter tires. This type of rubber stays soft and flexible during cold weather and grips the road's surface more readily than summer or all-season tires. Winter tires also have a different tread design than all-season tires. Snow tires have larger grooves between the lugs, which are irregularly shaped parts of the tire tread pattern. The tread depths are deeper on winter tires, and you'll find more slots and sipes (tiny slits) that can more easily bite into the edges of ice and snow. The tread rubber on winter tires helps with extra traction and grip on snowy or icy roads; the deep tread patterns help the tire dig deeper into the snow and ice, while sipes and slits help channel water out and away from the tire. This combination helps you control your Lexus when driving on unpredictable winter roads. Even if your Lexus has all-wheel or four-wheel drive, you'll get optimum grip, stopping power, and performance when you have winter tires installed. When Is the Best Time To Switch to Snow Tires? When you see consistent temperatures below 45 degrees Fahrenheit, schedule a time to have your winter tires installed. The time frame will vary depending on where you live, but you should generally consider changing them out in mid- or late fall. You can bring your Lexus to our Lexus dealership and have us install new winter tires. You'll bring your summer or all-season tires home and store them during the winter. To save time and effort, consider having your snow tires and all-season tires mounted on dedicated wheels that meet your Lexus's specifications. You can then bring your mounted tires to our Lexus dealership, and we'll simply take your summer tires mounted on wheels off. We'll then install the mounted winter tires and wheels on your Lexus and send you home with your all-season tires and wheels to store. In reverse, when the weather climbs above 45 degrees Fahrenheit, bring your Lexus into the Lexus tire center to have the winter tires and wheels removed and your all-season tires and wheels installed. As part of our service at Lexus of Stevens Creek, we put your winter tires on in the fall before the storms roll in, and when the winter weather stops, we put your summer tires back on. How To Care for Winter and Seasonal Tires Once installed, keep your winter tires at the manufacturer's recommended psi. Having the proper psi increases your Lexus's stability and control and helps extend the tires’ life span. Ask one of our tire experts at Lexus of Stevens Creek about the perfect psi for the specific tire brand and your Lexus model. Before storing your seasonal tires, clean them so they're free from dirt, debris, and any tire dressings. Allow them to dry thoroughly before storing them. Once dry, place each tire in an airtight plastic bag, such as a lawn or leaf bag, and seal the bag tight. Be sure to remove any extra air from the bag. Next, place the individual wrapped tires in a cool dark location, preferably indoors. If the tires are mounted on rims, stack them on top of each other. If the tires are off the rim, stack them standing upright. Avoid placing the tires in direct sunlight or near furnaces or water heaters to avoid exposure to ultraviolet rays and ozone, which can cause cracks and deterioration of the tires. Top Tire Brands for Your Lexus At Lexus of Stevens Creek, we carry tire brands designed to fit your Lexus for optimum performance. We can get you the perfect winter tire from the following reputable tire brands: Bridgestone Bridgestone carries Blizzak tires for optimal winter driving performance.

Your and your passengers’ safety inside a car is always important, regardless of the destination. From long road trips to short trips to the mall or through the city, you want to ensure everyone's protection when driving in your Lexus. The latest models offer an impressive suite of safety features such as lane-keeping and braking assist. Browse the new Lexus car inventory at your local Lexus dealership in San Jose, California, for the best-quality safety systems to help everyone reach their destination safely. more What Standard Safety Features Does Lexus Offer? Lexus believes in protecting its drivers and passengers as well as pedestrians and other people who drive Lexus vehicles. You can achieve this protection through collision prevention. That's why Lexus equips every vehicle made in 2020 and sooner with the Lexus Safety System+, a standard in upholding the best safety equipment possible. Take a deeper look into the standard safety features included in this incredible system. Pre-Collision With Pedestrian Detection Lexus engineered the Pre-Collision with Pedestrian Detection system to help prevent collisions and keep everyone safe from harm. This system may detect pedestrians crossing in front of your car and may also notice other vehicles with its Vehicle Detection capability. If the system detects a forward collision, Brake Assist automatically prepares the car to stop with additional braking power. However, even with this system, you should still practice driving safely and engage the brake wherever necessary. Lane Departure Alert Lane Departure Alert is a helpful device that alerts you when you begin to drift into another lane. It utilizes an in-vehicle camera to monitor the yellow and white lane markers on the road and use them as a guide to keep your vehicle centered. A visual and audible alert sounds if you unexpectedly enter the lane next to you, prompting you to double-check your surroundings to stay safe. Intelligent High Beams Worrying about not seeing enough of the road at night is no longer a problem with Lexus' Intelligent High Beams. The added illumination from the headlamps enhances your road visibility without bothering other drivers. This system works to automatically turn on the high beams when the road is clear. When it detects the taillights or headlights of another vehicle, the Intelligent High Beams revert to low-beam mode. These high beams promote better safety by helping provide early detection of pedestrians or other obstacles on the road. Dynamic Radar Cruise Control Cruise control is convenient; it allows you to reach your desired speed, press a button to set it, and relax your legs as you drive. While it optimizes your driving experience, it must include innovative technology to help you stay safe. The Lexus High-Speed Dynamic Radar Cruise Control system maintains a consistent speed and includes a vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode. This mode helps adjust your speed when the car in front of you is driving at a lower speed. Dynamic Radar Cruise Control utilizes a grille-mounted millimeter-wave radar and in-vehicle camera to detect vehicles ahead of you. The system will automatically slow your car down and bring you back up to your desired speed once the road is clear. For the extra safety enhancements on this feature and more, Lexus equips some of its newest models with the Lexus Safety System+ 3.0. What Is the Lexus Safety System+ 3.0? The Lexus Safety System+ 3.0 offers enhanced vehicle protection for select models. The system boosts the existing pre-collision system and adaptive cruise control to offer the most comprehensive safety system a Lexus can provide. Below are the additional components included in this advanced safety system. Curve Speed Management Lexus adds Curve Speed Management to its existing Dynamic Radar Cruise Control as part of the Lexus Safety System+ 3.0 package. This function uses technology to detect upcoming curves in the road while you're using the cruise control system. Before you reach the turn, the Curve Speed Management technology will reduce the vehicle's speed to take on this part of the road safely. Additional Intersection Support Your Lexus's enhanced radar and camera capabilities work together to protect you and others during the daytime and in low-light conditions. Because of the optimized radar and camera and Lexus' standard safety features, the Lexus Safety System+ 3.0 can provide Additional Intersection Support to select models. This system helps monitor your surroundings when stopped at an intersection to ensure you drive through it safely at the appropriate time. The Additional Intersection Support offers a Right/Left Turn Oncoming Pedestrian Detection/Braking and Front to Front Oncoming Car Detection. With this support, the system can detect oncoming vehicles, vehicles crossing the intersection, bicyclists, and pedestrians in certain situations. For example, suppose you turn left at an intersection, and the safety system detects a potential frontal collision. In that case, the Risk Avoidance Emergency Steer Assist will help your vehicle avoid a collision. What Other Features Make a Lexus a Safe Car? On top of the outstanding Lexus Safety System+ 3.0, the manufacturer presents an optional subscription service to help you in case of an emergency. At the push of a button, the Lexus Enform Safety Connect enables you to reach the Lexus 24/7 response center. If an accident occurs, the system automatically connects to emergency service responders. Safety Connect also includes roadside assistance and will give your vehicle's GPS coordinates to safety personnel as needed. Which Lexus Vehicles Offer the Lexus Safety System+ 3.0? Looking for the safest luxury compact or an all-electric SUV? What about a CUV that's a cross between a sedan and an SUV with the best safety features?

Buying a car that holds its value makes financial sense whether you're shopping for a new luxury vehicle or in the market for a used model. Most Americans own their cars for an average of eight years. However, the savvy buyer will tell you to buy, trade-in, or sell a luxury model before then to capitalize on its resale value. You're in a good spot whether you're considering a Lexus as your next purchase or you own one already. Lexus has a well-earned reputation for building quality vehicles that hold more value longer than other brands. This article highlights the cars and SUVs that make buying a Lexus a good investment and selling one a profitable effort. more What Affects Resale Value? Many factors contribute to a vehicle's resale value. As a general rule, mileage, age, and condition tend to top the list. Mileage Mileage tells you how far the car has been driven. On average, Americans drive around 12,000 miles a year. So, if you find a 3-year-old vehicle with less than 36,000 miles, you can consider it above average in terms of miles driven. Age Age is also a factor, but you should consider the mileage when assessing a vehicle's age. For example, a 5-year-old vehicle with 60,000 miles would be right on average. But a 5-year-old vehicle with 40,000 miles has less wear and tear and is thus considered a better investment. Conversely, a 5-year-old vehicle with 80,000 miles has been driven much more than the average, which affects its longevity and value. Condition The condition of a vehicle also affects its value, but evaluating the condition can be more subjective than precise. In any case, if a car is deemed in excellent condition, you can ask for top dollar when selling. If you're buying the same excellent vehicle, you can expect to spend more to purchase it. Driving Style A frequently overlooked aspect of mileage, age, and condition is how a vehicle was driven. For instance, driving a car in stop-and-go traffic puts additional strain on the engine, transmission, brakes, and steering systems. It may be in excellent condition to the naked eye, but the mechanical systems have endured significant wear and tear. On the other hand, a car primarily used for highway commutes tends to have less wear and tear on these systems. As a result, the mechanical systems are in better shape. Unfortunately, the online valuation tools that assess vehicles don't consider how a car was driven, so you need to ask questions about driving habits before you buy or present your vehicle for sale. Craftsmanship Craftsmanship refers to the quality and reliability of a vehicle. Mechanically speaking, vehicles that were built better perform at their peaks for longer. And vehicles made from superior interior materials and design last longer and retain their beauty and appeal better than vehicles built with less expensive materials and a poor design. Good craftsmanship is what gives brands like Lexus an advantage over other manufacturers. Thoughtful interiors with premium materials and cutting-edge technology add long-term value. A powertrain that has proven to perform better than other cars over time also adds appeal. Lexus Vehicles With the Highest Resale Value If you're buying or selling a Lexus, you already know you'll pay or receive more as part of the deal. However, here's a list of Lexus vehicles that top the charts in resale value. Lexus IS The Lexus IS sedan offers buyers an opportunity to enter the luxury market at a reasonable price. Voted “Best Resale Value” for an entry-level luxury car by Kelley Blue Book for 2022, the IS sedan delivers sleek style, a high-quality cabin experience, and impressive driving dynamics. The models in its 300, 350, and 500 series give you performance options to suit your driving style. For example, the base-model IS has a 241-horsepower inline four-cylinder engine, or you can opt for the V-6 engine that generates 260 horsepower. The IS 350 F-Sport Design trim has a V-6 engine that produces 311 horsepower with a sport-tuned suspension system.

Are you considering buying a Lexus SUV? If so, you've probably been trying to decide between the Lexus NX and Lexus RX. The NX and RX are exceptionally well-built crossovers that deliver outstanding reliability, refinement, comfort, and technology, which are the hallmarks of Lexus vehicles. While they're similar in many ways, they also have differences that set them apart. Read below as our Lexus of Stevens Creek team in San Jose, California, makes a detailed comparison between the Lexus NX and Lexus RX to help you determine which one fits you better. more Trim Levels and Prices The Lexus NX and Lexus RX are highly customizable vehicles, but the RX gives you more options with its extensive 10-trim lineup. Both models offer all-wheel-drive (AWD) options. The NX is available in six variants: the entry-level 250, 350 AWD, 350 F Sport Handling AWD, 350h AWD, 450h+ AWD, and the range-topping 450h+ F Sport Handling AWD. Note that the "h" designation indicates a hybrid model. One of the main advantages of the NX is that it's more affordable than the RX. Its starting MSRP ranges from $40,305 for the 250 to $60,655 for the 450h+ F Sport Handling AWD. The trim levels of the RX are the base 350, 350h AWD, 350 Premium, 350h Premium AWD, 350 Premium+, 350h Premium+ AWD, 350 Luxury, 350h Luxury AWD, 350 F Sport Handling AWD, and the top-spec 500h F Sport Performance AWD. The 350 starts at $48,950, while the 500h F Sport Performance AWD costs at least $63,150. Exterior The most obvious difference between the Lexus NX and the Lexus RX is their size. The NX is a compact SUV, while the RX competes in the midsize category. The two SUVs share many similarities in exterior styling, including a ridged hood, squinting headlights, and a sloping roofline. But the NX looks bolder and more aggressive with its upright front end and massive, hourglass-shaped grille. In contrast, the RX features a trapezoidal grille and an elongated hood that dips down to the Lexus badge, giving it a sleeker and more elegant appearance. Performance There are four powertrains to choose from if you decide to get the Lexus NX. You can equip gas-powered models with either the standard 203-horsepower 2.5-liter four-cylinder or a 275-horsepower 2.4-liter turbo-four. Both engines mate to a slick-shifting eight-speed automatic transmission. The hybrid models use a continuously variable transmission and get their power from a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that combines with two electric motors. The 350h can generate 240 horsepower, whereas the 450h+ uses a plug-in-hybrid setup rated at 304 horsepower. The Lexus RX 350 comes standard with the NX's optional 2.4-liter turbo-four, which also pairs with an eight-speed automatic transmission. Lower-trim hybrid variants have a 246-horsepower powertrain that combines a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with two electric motors and a continuously variable transmission. For quicker acceleration and a more engaging driving experience, go for the 500h F Sport Performance AWD. With a turbo-four engine, two electric motors, and a six-speed automatic transmission, the top-tier trim puts out an impressive 366 horsepower. Handling Both the Lexus NX and Lexus RX are a pleasure to drive, thanks to their light, responsive steering and composed handling. But the NX may be a better choice if you're an urban commuter in San Jose, as its smaller dimensions make it easier to maneuver in congested traffic and parking lots. It's also a remarkably agile vehicle that tackles corners and twisty roads with aplomb. In contrast, the RX does a better job of absorbing bumps, potholes, and other uneven surfaces, resulting in a smooth and comfortable ride. Then again, it can satisfy even the most discerning driving enthusiasts in F Sport Performance guise. Interior Whether you choose the Lexus NX or Lexus RX, you'll be thrilled with its sumptuous interior. Both models' cabins feature immaculate fit and finish, aesthetically pleasing accents, and an abundance of premium materials and soft-touch elements. They're both delightful places to spend time. The two Lexus SUVs also offer well-padded and supportive seats to keep you and your passengers comfortable and relaxed even after hours of driving. But if you routinely drive around with multiple passengers or need to carry a lot of cargo, you'd be better off getting the RX. As a midsize SUV, it provides more passenger and cargo space than its compact sibling. Features Like other new Lexus vehicles, the NX and RX have a long list of infotainment features to make your trips more convenient and enjoyable. They come standard with a 9.8-inch touch-screen display, a Wi-Fi hotspot, HD radio, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, and USB ports. If you want a better in-vehicle experience, you can get the optional 14-inch touch-screen display. The RX has the upper hand over the NX in the technology department, as it offers more USB ports and better audio systems. When it comes to driver assistance features, the NX and RX are among the leaders in their respective segments. Their standard offerings include forward collision alert, pedestrian alert, forward automated emergency braking, traffic sign recognition, automated high-beam headlamps, adaptive cruise control, lane departure alert, lane-keeping assistance, and safe-exit assistance. For enhanced protection, you can opt for available upgrades, such as front and rear parking sensors, parking assistance, a head-up display, and a 360-degree parking camera system. Blind-spot detection and rear cross-traffic alerts are standard in the NX and optional in the RX.

When you look at a vehicle, the first thing that catches your eye is probably the paint color. A car's exterior color significantly impacts its appeal as it can convey messages and influence moods. Sometimes, it's also an extension of the driver's personality. Many auto manufacturers have invested a lot of resources in this aesthetic aspect of their vehicles. However, Lexus has surged ahead of its competitors by creating distinctive and visually intriguing paint colors of the finest quality. Let's look at a few reasons why the paint on Lexus cars looks exceptionally beautiful. more Lexus Has a Dedicated Team of Color Designers Lexus has assembled a dedicated team of paint color designers to make its vehicles stand out from the crowd. These designers specialize in developing new paint hues and innovative color-layering techniques to achieve visual effects that leave a lasting impression. Sometimes, it takes over a year to create a new paint color for Lexus cars; the process involves gathering detailed input from in-house color designers and actual Lexus drivers. As a premium automaker, Lexus doesn't skimp on quality or take shortcuts. Instead of painting its vehicles with off-the-shelf colors, the company has devoted decades of research to devising its own unique colors. Also, it uses only top-quality paint from Kansai Paint, one of the leading automotive paint manufacturers in the world. The final decision on each color is made only after a grueling process of evaluating hundreds of experimental samples. Lexus Paint Is Designed To Look Great in a Real-World Environment Lexus paint not only looks good in the lab, but it's also visually stunning outdoors. One of the reasons the automaker's paint development process spans more than a year is that its designers want to see how different shades look in spring, summer, fall, and winter. Lexus has built a special facility with floor-to-ceiling windows to examine its paint colors under natural light. From inside, paint designers have an unobstructed view of an adjacent outdoor display area with an asphalt surface. It embedded remote-controlled turntables in the asphalt to view vehicles from many angles. This is how the designers get a feel for a particular color's appearance on a vehicle's body and assess its ability to look fantastic in a real-world environment at different times of the day. So you can be confident that your Lexus vehicle will remain eye-pleasing wherever and whenever you drive it. Many Lexus Paint Colors Have a Story The paint designers working for Lexus often create unique paint colors by drawing inspiration from their personal experiences. For instance, the first-generation Lexus NX came with the carefully developed Eminent White Pearl paint color when it debuted in the mid-2010s. This mesmerizing color originated from a Lexus paint designer who wanted to capture the breathtaking winter landscape at her childhood home in Hokkaido, Japan. Lexus Develops Paint Colors With Carefully Chosen Layers Paint colors from Lexus are developed with multiple layers to deliver distinctive visual effects under different angles and lights. For example, the Sonic colors available on some Lexus vehicles have five extremely thin layers of paint made up of compressed pigments. Some of them are hand-polished to produce a striking contrast of light and shade. When painting a vehicle, Lexus' paint technicians first apply two base layers to protect the body from wear and rust. Then, they add three differently colored layers that combine to achieve the actual color effect. In some cases, the colored layers contain microscopic metal chips that enhance their ability to capture light, making the paint shine in both sunny and cloudy weather. Lexus Paint Has Scratch-Resistant Properties Lexus not only wants its paint colors to look great but also goes the extra mile to ensure they remain attractive for a long time. One of the automaker's most impressive paint technologies is its scratch-resistant paint. Available on selected Lexus models, this type of paint has a remarkable ability to restore itself if it sustains a ring scratch or other kinds of minor damage. It can help slow down or prevent luster degradation that results from surface scratches and preserve the original color of the paint over time. Lexus makes its scratch-resistant paint with a molecular bonding technique that improves the density and flexibility of the top coating. The technology creates a protective, elastic shell that's capable of absorbing impact and then returning to normal, similar to a spring under pressure. As a result, the paint is more resilient to scratches and damage than other types of automotive paint. Lexus' Paint-Application Craftspeople Have Undergone Intensive Training At Lexus' manufacturing facilities, the technicians who apply paint layers to the vehicles have met strict training and skill requirements to ensure that they're masters at what they do. The training includes learning precise body postures and movements when applying paint, and they have their stances photographed and analyzed to help them maintain and improve their skills. Additionally, the paint-application work of the technicians is subject to rigorous inspection. During the initial production run for a new Lexus model, a team of color evaluators will carefully examine how the new colors appear and determine which vehicles pass or fail to meet Lexus' strict paint quality standards. It isn't uncommon for cars to be taken off the assembly line and sent to master artisans or paint Takumi for manual respraying.

Read below to learn more about the suggested maintenance schedule for your Lexus and how our team can help. more Routine Lexus Services and Schedules Following the recommended time frame for scheduled maintenance is essential to keep your Lexus running at its best. Keep in mind that these intervals might vary based on the year, make, and model of your Lexus. For precise figures, check the owners manual for your vehicle. Lexus of Stevens Creek performs the following routine services: Oil Changes Every 5,000 Miles Your Lexus can run 5,000 miles or more before needing an oil change, although it depends on which model you own. At Lexus of Stevens Creek, we use genuine Lexus parts and the correct motor oil on every oil change. You can schedule service online or stop by our service center whenever you have a free moment. In most cases, we can efficiently change the engine oil in under 30 minutes and get you back to your busy life in San Jose. Tire Rotations Every 7,000-10,000 Miles Rotating the tires on your Lexus helps spread the uneven wear resulting from the axles' different operating and load conditions. The recommended interval is usually around every other oil change. To make it more convenient for you, we can rotate the tires while draining the engine oil without adding time to your visit. Brake Inspections and Service Every 10,000 Miles We recommend inspecting the brake system on your Lexus every 10,000 miles. The brake system has many moving parts that use hydraulic and mechanical systems. Even normal driving can wear out certain parts or cause damage. As a courtesy, we inspect the brake pads, discs, and components when you have our team perform any service at Lexus of Stevens Creek. Battery Replacement Every 3 Years Although a battery will typically last at least three years and sometimes much longer, many factors, such as weather and usage, affect battery health. And leaving the lights on overnight or other human errors can cause a battery to fail. We recommend testing it at least once a year. Our technicians can quickly do this for you and, if necessary, replace it in minutes. Additional Parts and Services Lexus vehicles require replacing certain parts, such as cabin and engine air filters and spark plugs, at various milestones.
