Lexus Named Manufacturer of The Decade

Auto Express has named Lexus as the Manufacturer of the Decade, following the results from more than 300,000 responses from motorists during the Driver Power survey, which saw Lexus achieve a satisfaction rating of 88.3 per cent.

Over the last ten years, Lexus has been presented with the Manufacturer of the Year Award seven times with the centre network being named the nation's best every year.

During the period, Lexus has taken a lead in the premium market with hybrid power, bringing the technology to the masses with the second generation Lexus RX crossover, the vehicle that launched the hybrid programme took third place in the Auto Express Cars of the Decade.

Graham Hope, Auto Express Deputy Editor, said: "This award, based on the responses of more than 300,000 Auto Express readers over 10 years, shows how much Lexus owners love their cars.

"Their supreme comfort and great build quality are regularly praised, and this is backed up by aftersales service which is unmatched in the industry. Lexus is a thoroughly deserving winner of our Manufacturer of the Decade award, and will no doubt continue its success in the years ahead."

Jon Williams, Toyota GB Managing Director, said: "It is a great honour to receive this award, particularly as Lexus was only introduced into the UK market in 1990. Positioning the Lexus brand as number one for customer service was our aim and maintaining this for a decade proves the commitment of each and every individual in the Lexus network."
