Do Lexus cars have cameras?

Yes. Modern Lexus vehicles come with cameras as part of safety and parking systems. Every new Lexus model includes a rearview camera, and many also offer 360-degree surround cameras, front views, and, on higher trims, interior driver-monitoring cameras.

Camera systems in Lexus cars support features such as parking assistance, collision avoidance, lane-keeping, and driver attention monitoring. Availability varies by model and region, but cameras are a common element across the lineup as Lexus emphasizes advanced safety and driver-assistance technology.

Exterior camera systems

Exterior cameras are a core part of Lexus’s parking and safety technology. The list below outlines the camera-related features you’re likely to encounter across recent models, noting that exact availability depends on model and trim.

• Rearview camera (standard on all new Lexus models; mandated by law in many markets).


• Panoramic or Bird’s-Eye View camera system (surround-view) that stitches images from multiple exterior cameras to show a top-down view around the car.


• Front view camera on select models to assist with low-speed maneuvers and parking.


• Side-view/mirror-integrated cameras that support the 360-degree view and certain driver-assist features on equipped trims.

Availability varies by model and trim; higher-end models such as RX, NX, ES, LS, LC, and LX commonly offer the surround-view options, while others may offer them as optional packages.

Interior cameras and driver monitoring

Inside the cabin, some Lexus models use cameras to monitor the driver’s attention and well-being as part of a Driver Monitoring System. This helps manage the use of advanced features and can trigger alerts if the system detects distraction or fatigue.

• Driver Monitoring System (DMS) camera monitors facial cues and gaze direction to assess alertness and attention.


• In certain configurations, interior camera data can help personalize settings (seats, mirrors, preferred infotainment layouts) when the driver is recognized.


• Privacy options and regional regulations may affect whether or how interior camera features are enabled or disabled.

Interior camera availability is more common on newer generations and higher trims, and can vary by market and model.

Model and region variability

The exact camera setup you’ll find in a Lexus depends on the model, trim level, and where you’re buying the car. Entry-level trims may include essential safety cameras, while larger or newer models with advanced safety suites are more likely to include 360-degree views and interior monitoring features. It’s best to check the specific specifications for the exact vehicle you’re considering.

Summary

Lexus cars generally come equipped with cameras as a normal part of their safety and convenience features. All new Lexuses include a rearview camera, and many models offer 360-degree surround-view systems, front cameras, and mirror-side cameras. Interior driver-monitoring cameras exist on selected models and trims to enhance safety and personalization. Availability varies by model, trim, and market, so prospective buyers should verify the exact camera features for the vehicle in question.

How do I know if my car has a front camera?

It's normally above the rear view mirror in the little black boxy section. You'll actually see it if you look in front of your car. Or it's just the camera in front on your bumper/grille. If you go to the ``Camera'' tab in the infotainment section you'll see all cameras and what you have.
