See how Lexus ranked in the iSeeCars longevity study and discover which Lexus models have the best projected chance of reaching 250,000 miles.

 

 

How long can a Lexus last?

Individual stories of Lexus vehicles reaching 200,000, 300,000 or even one million miles are impressive, but isolated examples cannot tell shoppers how an entire vehicle brand performs. For a broader answer, automotive research company iSeeCars analyzed millions of vehicle records to estimate which brands and models have the best chance of reaching 250,000 miles.

The results were highly favorable for Lexus.

In the 2025 iSeeCars Longest-Lasting Car Brands study, Lexus ranked:

• No. 2 among all automotive brands
• No. 1 among luxury brands
• Approximately 2.7 times more likely than the average vehicle to reach 250,000 miles
• Approximately four times more likely than the average luxury vehicle to reach 250,000 miles

Lexus vehicles had a projected 12.8% chance of reaching at least 250,000 miles, compared with an overall industry average of 4.8% and a luxury-brand average of 3.2%.

Several individual Lexus models also performed particularly well. The Lexus IS ranked as the longest-lasting passenger car in the study, while the GX, RX, RX Hybrid, ES and ES Hybrid all demonstrated an above-average likelihood of reaching a quarter-million miles.

These results do not guarantee that every Lexus will reach 250,000 miles. They do, however, provide data-based evidence that Lexus vehicles have demonstrated unusually strong longevity compared with much of the automotive market.

The Quick Answer

According to iSeeCars’ 2025 longevity research:

Lexus result	iSeeCars finding
Lexus ranking among all brands	No. 2 (Behind parent company Toyota at No. 1)
Lexus ranking among luxury brands	No. 1
Lexus chance of reaching 250,000 miles	12.8%
Overall vehicle average	4.8%
Luxury-brand average	3.2%
Lexus compared with overall average	2.7 times more likely
Lexus compared with luxury average	4 times more likely

The study found only four brands—Toyota, Lexus, Honda and Acura—with an above-average projected chance of reaching 250,000 miles when all brands were evaluated together.

What Is iSeeCars?

iSeeCars is an independent, data-driven automotive research and vehicle-shopping company. It publishes studies covering subjects such as vehicle longevity, reliability, depreciation, resale value, used-car pricing and ownership behavior.

The company says it uses proprietary algorithms and large vehicle datasets to objectively analyze and rank new and used vehicles. The iSeeCars research used in this article was produced independently and is not Lexus-sponsored data.

As with CarEdge, RepairPal, Kelley Blue Book and J.D. Power, it is important to understand exactly what an iSeeCars study measures before applying the results to an individual vehicle.

What Does the iSeeCars Longevity Study Measure?

The study estimates the probability that a particular vehicle will remain in service long enough to reach at least 250,000 miles.

This is different from measuring:

• The number of mechanical problems reported by owners
• The average annual repair cost
• The cost of scheduled maintenance
• Customer satisfaction
• Resale value
• Warranty claims
• The maximum mileage ever achieved by one vehicle

Instead, the study examines odometer and vehicle-age data and uses a statistical model to estimate the likelihood of vehicles surviving to specific mileage thresholds.

For the model-level 2025 Longest-Lasting Cars study, iSeeCars said it analyzed data from nearly 400 million vehicles. It calculated average odometer readings at each yearly vehicle age and developed a proprietary model to estimate the probability of reaching various mileage thresholds. Vehicles with insufficient data were excluded.

In its separate brand-level study, iSeeCars reported analyzing more than 174 million vehicles. It calculated the probability of reaching 250,000 miles for each model and generation, then averaged those results across the brand’s lineup while accounting for how common each model was on the road.

The two published analyses therefore use related methodologies but cite different datasets for their respective rankings.

Does a 12.8% Probability Sound Low?

At first glance, a 12.8% chance of reaching 250,000 miles may not sound especially impressive. The result becomes more meaningful when compared with the rest of the market.

The average vehicle had only a 4.8% projected chance of reaching the same mileage. Lexus’ 12.8% result was approximately:

• 2.7 times the overall average
• Nearly twice Acura’s 7.2% result
• Almost three times Tesla’s 4.6% result
• More than seven times Mercedes-Benz’s 1.7% result
• Thirty-two times BMW’s 0.4% result

Those comparisons do not mean that an individual Lexus will always outlast an individual vehicle from another brand. They show how the brands performed across large vehicle populations under the iSeeCars methodology.

Lexus Ranked Second Among All Automotive Brands

Toyota placed first in the 2025 brand rankings, with a 17.8% projected chance of reaching at least 250,000 miles.

Lexus followed in second place at 12.8%, ahead of Honda at 10.8% and Acura at 7.2%.

Overall rank	Brand	Chance of reaching 250,000 miles	Compared with average
1	Toyota	17.8%	3.7 times
2	Lexus	12.8%	2.7 times
3	Honda	10.8%	2.3 times
4	Acura	7.2%	1.5 times
—	Overall average	4.8%	—
5	GMC	4.6%	Approximately average
6	Tesla	4.6%	Approximately average
7	Chevrolet	4.5%	0.9 times
8	Cadillac	4.5%	0.9 times
9	Mazda	3.6%	0.7 times
10	Ram	3.5%	0.7 times

Only Toyota, Lexus, Honda and Acura exceeded the 4.8% overall industry average in the brand analysis.

This does not mean that 87.2% of Lexus vehicles necessarily experience mechanical failure before 250,000 miles. Vehicles can leave the available dataset for many reasons, including accidents, low annual use, export, ownership changes, economic decisions or simply aging out before accumulating that many miles.

The study estimates the probability of reaching a particular odometer threshold. It does not diagnose the reason every vehicle does or does not reach it.

Lexus Ranked First Among Luxury Brands

Lexus’ advantage becomes even more substantial when it is compared only with luxury brands.

The average luxury vehicle had a projected 3.2% chance of reaching 250,000 miles. Lexus’ 12.8% result was four times that average.

Luxury rank	Brand	Chance of reaching 250,000 miles	Compared with luxury average
1	Lexus	12.8%	4 times
2	Acura	7.2%	2.3 times
3	Tesla	4.6%	1.4 times
4	Cadillac	4.5%	1.4 times
5	Lincoln	3.4%	1.1 times
—	Luxury average	3.2%	—
6	Volvo	2.2%	0.7 times
7	Infiniti	2.1%	0.7 times
8	Mercedes-Benz	1.7%	0.5 times
11	BMW	0.4%	0.1 times
12	Audi	0.3%	0.1 times
13	Land Rover	0.1%	Below 0.1 times

iSeeCars cautioned that luxury vehicles are often driven fewer miles than mainstream vehicles. As a result, time and vehicle age—not necessarily mechanical failure—may prevent many luxury vehicles from ever accumulating 250,000 miles. The lower luxury-brand average therefore should not be interpreted solely as a measure of manufacturing quality.

Even with that limitation, Lexus’ result stands out because Lexus vehicles are also subject to the lower-mileage usage patterns common among luxury owners, yet the brand still ranked substantially above every other luxury manufacturer.

Which Lexus Models Ranked Highest?

Six Lexus model or powertrain categories appeared in iSeeCars’ detailed passenger-car and SUV longevity rankings:

Lexus model	Chance of reaching 250,000 miles	Relevant category result
Lexus IS	27.5%	No. 1 passenger car
Lexus GX	18.3%	No. 4 SUV
Lexus RX Hybrid	17.0%	No. 5 SUV and No. 2 hybrid
Lexus RX	10.7%	No. 9 SUV
Lexus ES Hybrid	7.5%	No. 10 passenger car
Lexus ES	6.5%	No. 12 passenger car

The IS, GX, RX Hybrid and gasoline RX also appeared in the study’s overall list of the 25 vehicles most likely to reach 250,000 miles.

Lexus IS: The Longest-Lasting Passenger Car

The Lexus IS produced the strongest Lexus result in the study.

iSeeCars estimated that the IS had a 27.5% chance of reaching 250,000 miles. It ranked:

• No. 5 among all vehicles
• No. 1 among passenger cars
• Approximately 5.7 times more likely than the average vehicle to reach 250,000 miles
• Approximately 10.6 times more likely than the average passenger car to reach 250,000 miles

The average passenger car had only a 2.6% projected chance of reaching the mileage threshold.

This is a notable result because high-mileage lists are often dominated by pickup trucks and large SUVs. The IS demonstrated that a luxury sport sedan can also offer significant long-term mileage potential.

The study applies to the Lexus IS model population represented in the data. It should not be interpreted as guaranteeing identical longevity for every engine, drivetrain, model year or individual vehicle.

Lexus GX: One of the Longest-Lasting SUVs

The Lexus GX had an 18.3% projected chance of reaching 250,000 miles.

It ranked:

• No. 8 among all vehicles
• No. 4 among SUVs
• Approximately 3.8 times more likely than the average vehicle to reach 250,000 miles
• Approximately 4.3 times more likely than the average SUV to reach 250,000 miles

The overall SUV average was 4.3%.

The three SUVs ahead of it were all Toyota models: the Sequoia, 4Runner and Highlander Hybrid. This placed the GX ahead of every non-Toyota luxury SUV included in the ranking.

Because the study combines vehicle data across model years and generations, shoppers should not assume that each GX powertrain has the same established longevity record. The latest generation must accumulate additional years and mileage before its ultimate lifespan can be measured directly.

Lexus RX Hybrid: Strong SUV and Hybrid Results

The Lexus RX Hybrid had a 17% projected chance of reaching 250,000 miles.

It ranked:

• No. 9 among all vehicles
• No. 5 among SUVs
• No. 2 among hybrids
• Approximately 3.5 times more likely than the average vehicle to reach 250,000 miles
• Approximately four times more likely than the average SUV to reach 250,000 miles

Only the Toyota Highlander Hybrid placed ahead of the RX Hybrid in the dedicated hybrid ranking.

iSeeCars reported that 2025 was the first year it separated hybrids into their own longevity category. Only seven hybrid models had enough data to qualify, and the RX Hybrid ranked well above the 9.6% hybrid average.

This result is particularly relevant to shoppers concerned about whether hybrid components prevent vehicles from achieving high mileage. The data indicates that the RX Hybrid had one of the strongest quarter-million-mile projections among all qualifying vehicles—not merely among hybrids.

Lexus RX: Above-Average Gasoline SUV Longevity

The gasoline-powered Lexus RX had a 10.7% projected chance of reaching 250,000 miles.

It ranked:

• No. 19 among all vehicles
• No. 9 among SUVs
• Approximately 2.2 times more likely than the average vehicle to reach 250,000 miles
• Approximately 2.5 times more likely than the average SUV

The gasoline RX ranked below the RX Hybrid’s 17% result, but both versions substantially exceeded the overall SUV average of 4.3%.

The difference does not prove that every RX Hybrid will outlast every gasoline RX. The two categories may contain different model years, driving patterns and vehicle populations. It does show that both RX powertrain groups performed strongly under the study’s statistical model.

Lexus ES Hybrid: Above the Passenger-Car Average

The Lexus ES Hybrid had a 7.5% projected chance of reaching 250,000 miles.

It ranked:

• No. 10 among passenger cars
• Approximately 2.9 times more likely than the average passenger car to reach 250,000 miles

The ES Hybrid’s result was below the 9.6% average of the seven hybrids that had sufficient data for the dedicated hybrid ranking. However, it remained substantially above the 2.6% average for passenger cars.

This illustrates why the comparison category matters. The ES Hybrid performed strongly as a passenger car, even though several unusually durable Toyota and Lexus hybrids raised the average within the smaller hybrid-only group.

Lexus ES: Long-Lived Luxury Sedan Potential

The gasoline-powered Lexus ES had a 6.5% projected chance of reaching 250,000 miles.

It ranked:

• No. 12 among passenger cars
• Approximately 2.5 times more likely than the average passenger car to reach 250,000 miles

Its percentage was lower than the ES Hybrid’s 7.5% projection, but both versions outperformed the overall passenger-car average of 2.6%.

As with the RX results, these percentages reflect vehicle populations and statistical probabilities rather than guaranteed differences between two individual vehicles.

Lexus Models in the Overall Top 25

Four Lexus entries appeared among the 25 vehicles with the greatest projected chance of reaching 250,000 miles:

Overall rank	Lexus model	Projected probability
5	Lexus IS	27.5%
8	Lexus GX	18.3%
9	Lexus RX Hybrid	17.0%
19	Lexus RX	10.7%

Toyota had 10 models in the overall top 25, Lexus had four entries, Honda had five, and Acura had two. Japanese manufacturers therefore occupied most positions in the study’s highest longevity tier.

What About Other Lexus Models?

The UX, NX, TX, LX, LS, LC and RZ were not included in the published Lexus model results.

That does not mean iSeeCars determined that those vehicles cannot last 250,000 miles.

A model may be absent because:

• It did not rank above the category threshold displayed in the article.
• It had insufficient data for a statistically useful projection.
• It was too new for a substantial number of examples to accumulate extreme mileage.
• Its sales volume was too low for inclusion.
• Different generations or powertrains limited the amount of comparable data.

iSeeCars specifically states that models with insufficient data were excluded from its analysis. The published study does not provide a separate explanation for every omitted Lexus nameplate.

Therefore, the appropriate conclusion is that the IS, GX, RX, RX Hybrid, ES and ES Hybrid had enough data to produce notable published results—not that every Lexus omitted from the list has poor longevity.

Why Is the Lexus LX Not Listed?

The absence of the LX may surprise shoppers familiar with older high-mileage LX vehicles.

The study does not state why the LX was omitted. Possible factors include available sample size, lower sales volume, lower annual mileage among owners or the requirements used to determine which models had sufficient data.

It would be inaccurate to invent an LX percentage or assume that the GX result automatically applies to the LX.

Why Is the Lexus NX Not Listed?

The NX did not appear in the published rankings, and iSeeCars did not provide a model-specific reason.

Compared with longer-established nameplates such as the IS, ES, GX and RX, fewer NX vehicles have had enough time to accumulate 250,000 miles. That may limit the historical data available for extreme-mileage forecasting, but the study does not explicitly confirm that as the reason for its omission.

Why Are the TX and RZ Not Listed?

The TX and RZ are comparatively newer Lexus nameplates. Vehicles cannot develop a meaningful real-world 250,000-mile history immediately after entering the market.

Their absence should therefore not be presented as a negative durability finding. Additional years of vehicle-age and odometer data will be required before strong model-specific longevity conclusions can be drawn.

Why Might Lexus Perform Well in a Longevity Study?

The iSeeCars study measures outcomes rather than identifying the exact engineering reason behind each brand’s performance.

However, several reasonable factors may contribute to Lexus vehicles remaining in operation for high mileage.

Long-Term Demand Can Make Repairs Economically Reasonable

Owners are more likely to repair an older vehicle when it retains meaningful market value and continues to meet their needs.

A well-maintained Lexus may remain valuable enough to justify replacing suspension, cooling-system, brake or drivetrain components instead of retiring the vehicle after one major repair.

This is an interpretation of how longevity can work in practice, not a specific causal conclusion made by iSeeCars.

Established Model Histories Provide More Evidence

The highest-ranked Lexus vehicles—the IS, GX, RX and ES—are established nameplates with substantial real-world ownership histories.

Long production histories give researchers a larger number of vehicles across different ages and odometer readings. Newer nameplates cannot yet produce the same quantity of high-mileage data.

Hybrid Longevity Is Becoming Easier to Measure

Hybrid vehicles have now been on American roads long enough for meaningful numbers of them to accumulate substantial mileage.

iSeeCars reported that five hybrids appeared in its overall top 25 for 2025, up from three in the prior year and none in 2023. The RX Hybrid ranked second in the dedicated hybrid category, while the ES Hybrid also had sufficient data to be evaluated.

That does not mean hybrids require no battery, cooling-system or engine maintenance. It does show that the presence of a hybrid powertrain does not automatically prevent a vehicle from accumulating 250,000 miles.

Longevity Is Not the Same as Reliability

The words longevity, reliability and dependability are often used interchangeably, but they measure different things.

Longevity

Longevity refers to how long or how many miles a vehicle may remain in service. The iSeeCars study estimates the probability of reaching 250,000 miles.

Reliability

Reliability generally refers to how consistently a vehicle operates without unexpected failures.

Dependability

Dependability studies may measure the number and type of problems owners report during a particular ownership period.

Durability

Durability describes how well components withstand age, mileage and repeated use.

A vehicle could reach 250,000 miles while requiring several repairs. It would still demonstrate longevity, but the owner might not describe every year of ownership as trouble-free.

Likewise, a low-mileage luxury car may be reliable but never reach 250,000 miles because it is driven only a few thousand miles per year.

Longevity Is Not the Same as Resale Value

A high longevity score does not automatically guarantee strong resale value.

Resale value is affected by:

• Used-vehicle demand
• Initial purchase price
• Mileage
• Condition
• Accident history
• New-vehicle incentives
• Equipment
• Color
• Local market conditions

Longevity can support resale value because buyers may be more comfortable purchasing a vehicle with significant useful life remaining. However, the iSeeCars study discussed here estimates the chance of reaching 250,000 miles; it does not calculate a trade-in amount.

Longevity Is Not a Warranty

No manufacturer, dealership or research study can guarantee that a specific vehicle will reach 250,000 miles.

The result depends on:

• Maintenance
• Climate
• Driving habits
• Vehicle use
• Accident history
• Previous repairs
• Model year
• Engine and drivetrain
• Corrosion
• Parts availability
• Whether the owner considers future repairs economically reasonable

A statistical probability is a useful shopping tool, but it cannot replace an inspection or complete maintenance history.

What the Study Means for New Lexus Shoppers

The study is most useful for buyers who expect to keep their vehicles for many years.

A strong longevity projection may provide additional confidence for someone who:

• Drives substantial annual mileage
• Plans to keep a vehicle after paying off the loan
• Wants to pass the vehicle to another family member
• Values long-term ownership over frequent upgrades
• Is comparing Lexus with another luxury brand
• Wants to minimize how often vehicles must be replaced

The study should not be the only reason to select a model. Seating, cargo space, fuel economy, safety features, insurance, maintenance requirements and purchase price remain important.

For example, the IS produced the strongest Lexus longevity result, but it will not meet the needs of someone requiring three-row seating. The GX may offer excellent statistical longevity, but its size, fuel use and capability differ substantially from those of an ES or RX.

What the Study Means for Used Lexus Shoppers

A Lexus model’s strong statistical performance does not make every used example a good purchase.

A poorly maintained Lexus can be a bad investment even when the model ranks highly. Conversely, a model absent from the study may be a sensible purchase when it has been carefully maintained and inspected.

Before purchasing a high-mileage used Lexus:

1. Review its maintenance records.
2. Obtain a vehicle-history report.
3. Check for open recalls.
4. Arrange a pre-purchase inspection.
5. Inspect for leaks and corrosion.
6. Evaluate tire and brake condition.
7. Check suspension and steering components.
8. Confirm major mileage-based services.
9. Inspect accident repairs carefully.
10. Evaluate hybrid battery health when applicable.
11. Research concerns specific to the model year.
12. Budget for deferred maintenance.

A higher odometer reading is only one part of the vehicle’s condition.

Is 100,000 Miles Too Much for a Lexus?

The iSeeCars results suggest that certain Lexus models have a better-than-average probability of continuing far beyond 100,000 miles.

However, that does not make 100,000 miles irrelevant.

At that point, a vehicle may require age- or mileage-related work involving:

• Tires and brakes
• Suspension components
• Fluids
• Spark plugs
• Cooling-system components
• Engine or transmission mounts
• Wheel bearings
• Seals and gaskets
• Hybrid-system inspections
• Batteries
• Electronics

A 100,000-mile Lexus with complete service history may be preferable to a 60,000-mile example that was neglected, damaged or poorly repaired.

How to Help a Lexus Reach High Mileage

Even a model with a strong statistical longevity result needs proper care.

Follow the Model-Specific Maintenance Guide

Use the maintenance schedule written for the exact model year, engine, hybrid system and drivetrain.

Do not assume that the IS, RX, GX and ES have identical service requirements.

Address Warning Lights Promptly

A minor leak, cooling-system concern or drivability problem can become more expensive when ignored.

Protect the Cooling System

Overheating can cause severe engine damage. Inspect coolant levels, hoses, radiators and related components as the vehicle ages.

Maintain the Tires and Alignment

Improper alignment or worn suspension components can shorten tire life and affect handling.

Service the Drivetrain Appropriately

Transmission, differential and transfer-case requirements vary by model and use. Towing and off-road driving may create additional service needs.

Keep Complete Records

Detailed records help owners track completed work and make it easier to identify upcoming maintenance.

Avoid Neglecting Time-Based Services

A low-mileage vehicle still ages. Fluids, batteries, tires, hoses, seals and rubber components can deteriorate even when the vehicle is not driven frequently.

Repair Damage Before It Spreads

Fluid leaks, damaged weather seals, broken underbody panels and small areas of corrosion may become larger problems when ignored.

Frequently Asked Questions About the iSeeCars Lexus Longevity Study

What is the iSeeCars longevity study?

It is a data-based analysis that estimates the likelihood of vehicle brands and models reaching at least 250,000 miles. iSeeCars uses odometer readings, vehicle ages and a proprietary statistical model to develop its projections.

What year is the latest Lexus longevity study?

The results discussed in this article are from the 2025 iSeeCars Longest-Lasting Cars and Longest-Lasting Car Brands studies, which were the current dedicated longevity results published on the company’s site when this article was prepared in August 2026.

Where did Lexus rank?

Lexus ranked second among all brands and first among luxury brands for its projected likelihood of producing vehicles that reach at least 250,000 miles.

What chance does a Lexus have of reaching 250,000 miles?

iSeeCars estimated that Lexus vehicles had a 12.8% chance of reaching at least 250,000 miles. The overall industry average was 4.8%.

Is Lexus the longest-lasting luxury brand?

Under the 2025 iSeeCars brand methodology, yes. Lexus ranked first among luxury brands, ahead of Acura, Tesla, Cadillac and Lincoln.

Which Lexus model ranked highest?

The Lexus IS ranked highest. It had a projected 27.5% chance of reaching 250,000 miles and was the No. 1 passenger car in the study.

Which Lexus SUV ranked highest?

The Lexus GX ranked highest among Lexus SUVs, with an 18.3% projected chance of reaching 250,000 miles. It ranked fourth among all SUVs.

How did the Lexus RX perform?

The RX Hybrid had a 17% projected chance of reaching 250,000 miles, while the gasoline RX had a 10.7% projected chance. Both exceeded the overall SUV average of 4.3%.

How did the Lexus ES perform?

The ES Hybrid had a 7.5% projected chance of reaching 250,000 miles, while the gasoline ES had a 6.5% chance. Both exceeded the passenger-car average of 2.6%.

Does the study prove the RX Hybrid lasts longer than the gasoline RX?

No. It shows that the populations represented by the RX Hybrid and gasoline RX produced different statistical projections under the study’s methodology.

Individual results still depend on model year, maintenance, use and condition.

Why is the Lexus NX not included?

The published study does not give a model-specific reason. iSeeCars excludes vehicles with insufficient data, and only models meeting its ranking criteria appear in the published tables.

Why is the Lexus LX not included?

iSeeCars did not publish a reason for the LX’s absence. Its omission should not be interpreted as a finding that the LX cannot reach high mileage.

Does the study include every Lexus generation?

The brand methodology evaluates model and generation data and then combines results across the lineup. The published model tables do not provide a separate percentage for every model year, engine or generation.

Does 12.8% mean the other Lexus vehicles broke down?

No. Failure to reach 250,000 miles does not necessarily mean a vehicle suffered a mechanical failure.

A vehicle may leave the dataset because of age, accidents, low annual mileage, export, economic decisions or other factors.

Is 250,000 miles guaranteed for an IS or GX?

No. The percentages are statistical projections and not warranties or guarantees for a specific vehicle.

Is iSeeCars affiliated with Lexus?

No. iSeeCars is an independent automotive research and vehicle-shopping company. Its study is not a Lexus warranty, certification or manufacturer-sponsored claim.

Is the study based on owner surveys?

No. The longevity study is based on vehicle-age and odometer data analyzed through a proprietary statistical model.

Is the iSeeCars study the same as J.D. Power dependability?

No.

The iSeeCars longevity study estimates the likelihood of reaching a mileage threshold. J.D. Power dependability studies measure problems reported by owners during a defined ownership period.

Is longevity the same as low maintenance cost?

No. A vehicle may remain operational for many miles while requiring maintenance and repairs along the way.

Should I buy a Lexus solely because of this study?

No. Longevity should be considered along with price, features, safety, space, fuel economy, maintenance, insurance and the vehicle’s actual condition.

The Bottom Line

The 2025 iSeeCars longevity studies provide strong independent support for Lexus’ reputation as a long-lasting luxury brand.

Lexus ranked:

• Second among all automotive brands
• First among luxury brands
• 2.7 times above the overall average
• Four times above the luxury-brand average

The brand had a projected 12.8% chance of producing vehicles that reach at least 250,000 miles, compared with a 4.8% average across the automotive market.

Several individual models also stood out:

• The Lexus IS ranked first among passenger cars at 27.5%.
• The Lexus GX ranked fourth among SUVs at 18.3%.
• The Lexus RX Hybrid ranked second among hybrids at 17%.
• The gasoline RX reached 10.7%.
• The ES Hybrid reached 7.5%.
• The gasoline ES reached 6.5%.

These results do not mean every Lexus will reach a quarter-million miles, and the absence of a model from the list should not be interpreted as evidence of poor durability.

The study’s strongest conclusion is more measured: based on large-scale vehicle and odometer data, Lexus vehicles had a substantially better chance of reaching 250,000 miles than the average vehicle—and the highest projected longevity of any luxury brand included in the study.
