In early 2020, Japanese luxury brand Lexus joined the rest of the developed automotive world by finally announcing a form of capped-price servicing for its model range.

When the brand’s Encore ownership program was updated, Lexus finally added a level of assured price servicing to its ownership program for all models sold from January 1, 2020.

The Lexus Capped Price Servicing plan spans a three-year duration for all models in the range, bar electric versions of the UX SUV.

Most models in the range require servicing every 12 months or 15,000km, whichever occurs first - except for the Toyota LandCruiser-based Lexus LX SUV, which needs maintenance every six months/10,000km. It is considerably more expensive to own than the other vehicles in the range as a result.

Aside from one model, prices are set at between $495 and $595 per maintenance visit - see the table below for more detailed information model-by-model.

The company offers owners a loan car, and in some instances even offers a pick-up and delivery service of your car when it comes time for maintenance.

Lexus still betters some of its competitors with a slightly longer duration for its warranty plan, which spans five years with unlimited kilometres. 

Lexus’ capped-price servicing plan is strong, and more affordable than most luxury competitors. 8/10
