Lexus Manufacturing in the USA
Lexus is the luxury vehicle division of Japanese automaker Toyota. While most Lexus models are produced in Japan, the Lexus ES has been manufactured at Toyota's plant in Georgetown, Kentucky since 2015. This plant is Toyota's largest manufacturing facility outside of Japan and has been producing vehicles for the North American market since 1988.
The decision to produce the Lexus ES in the United States was driven by several factors, including the growing demand for luxury vehicles in the North American market and the need to reduce shipping costs and delivery times for customers in the region. By manufacturing the ES in Kentucky, Lexus is able to better serve its customers in the United States and Canada.
Other Lexus Models
While the Lexus ES is the only Lexus model currently produced in the USA, the majority of Lexus vehicles are manufactured in Japan. The Lexus lineup includes a range of luxury sedans, SUVs, and hybrid models, including the Lexus RX, Lexus LX, and Lexus NX, among others. These vehicles are primarily produced at Toyota's manufacturing facilities in Japan and then shipped to markets around the world, including North America.
In addition to the Lexus ES, Toyota also produces several other models at its Georgetown, Kentucky plant, including the Toyota Camry and Toyota Avalon. The plant has a production capacity of over 500,000 vehicles per year and employs over 8,000 workers.
