Used Lexus Transmission Models

Used Lexus Transmission

Lexus is the luxury division of Toyota Motor Corporation. The Lexus brand is marketed in over 90 countries globally. It is also the largest-selling luxury car brand in Japan. Moreover, it is among the top 10 Japanese brands, based on market value. Headquartered in Japan, it has an operational center in Texas, United States. It was Toyota's response to Honda's Accura and Nissan's Infinity venturing into the Japanese luxury car market. The model sprouted out of the premium sedan project F1 planned for 1983, which culminated in the launch of Lexus LS in 1989. Later, they added sedan, coupe, convertible, and SUV body types in the Lexus division. Interestingly, Lexus didn't operate as a separate brand in Japan until 2005, being sold under the Toyota marque. Later on, Lexus launched their own F marque, which has been more of a performance decision since 2007. Hence, using Lexus transmission offers much more interoperability.

Despite being a Japanese brand, Lexus sold largely in the United States. By 2011, Lexus sold close to 200,000 units in the United States, Whereas, they sold over 42,000 units in Japan, 56,000 units in China, and 43,000 units in Europe. Since the 2000s, they started expanding their operations overseas. They inaugurated dealerships in Japan in 2005, therein becoming the first Japanese premium automobile division in Japan. Later, the Lexus debuted in SEA countries, South America, Europe and elsewhere. Also, they introduced hybrid models in multiple automotive markets. They also provided additional services including automotive financing. They started their own design, engineering, and manufacturing centers in the Americas. By 2010, they sold passenger vehicles and crossover SUVs for the most part. Lexus sold 200,000 units of passenger vehicles, 160,000 units of crossover SUVs, and 66,000 units of hybrid vehicles. Let's look at the evolution of Lexus models from the lens of transmissions.

4-speed automatic transmission

As a premium brand, Lexus started with automatic transmissions. Moreover, they maintained with automatics and CVT alone. It is also one of the reasons why they did so well in the United States. They debuted with the 1989 ES V20, which came fitted with a 4-speed automatic transmission. Its 2.5 L engine pumped up to 156 mph, reached a top speed of 134 mph, and did the 0 to 60 mph acceleration in just over 10 seconds. Later, they launched the 1990 LS 400, which came fitted with a 3 L engine pulling 241 hp of horsepower. The model reached a top speed of 155 mph and accelerated from 0 to 60 mph in just 8.5 seconds. The 1991 SC 400 did even better with 0 to 60 mph acceleration in just over 7 seconds. Then you have the 1998 First Gen Facelift doing a 0 to 60 in under 7 seconds. Until the end of the 19th century, they didn't venture into any other transmission model than the 4-speed automatic transmission.

5-speeds and 6-speeds

At the turn of the century, Lexus came up with a 2000 GS 300 (2nd Gen) Facelift. Fitted with a 5-speed automatic transmission, the model reached a modest top speed of 143 mph. With its 3 L engine, pumping out 219 hp, the Facelift model did a 0 to 60 mph in just over 8 seconds. The SC 430 (2nd Gen) reached a top speed of 155 mph. By 2003, Lexus came up with their 6-speed automatic car, which raced from 0 to 60 mph in just 6.3 seconds. The GS 430 (3rd Gen) which came fitted with a 6-speed automatic transmission raced from a standstill to 60 mph in just over 6 seconds. A couple of years later, the IS 350 model brought down the 0 to 60 mph in under 6 seconds. Lexus experimented with an 8-speed automatic in their 2007 LS 460. The model reached a top speed of 155 mph and did a 0 to 60 mph in just 5.7 seconds, Later, you had the LS 460 (4th Gen) bettered the 0 to 60 mph to just 5.6 seconds.

CVT transmission models

Lexus ventured into the CVT transmission model as early as 2003, with their RX 400 H. However, none of these models were sold in the Japanese homeland. Later, the 2005 GS 450 H, which again came fitted with CVT transmission did a 0 to 60 mph in just 5.4 seconds. In 2007, you had the LS 600 H which raced from standstill to 60 mph in just 6.3 seconds. Its 5L engine pumped up a horsepower of 439 hp and did 0 to 60 mph in just 6.3 seconds. The RX 450H launched in 2009 enjoyed a reputation for its reliability. The 2010 LS 600 H, which came fitted with a CVT transmission model, proved good enough for a reliable speedster.
