- United States (standard terms): Eight years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first, for the hybrid battery system and associated components as part of the Hybrid Vehicle Warranty.
- Regional variations (CARB and other states): In California and other CARB-regulated states, there may be additional coverage under state emissions warranty programs. The exact mileage and years can depend on the model year and vehicle, so a dealership note or official Lexus warranty documentation should be consulted to confirm.
