Lexus background

In 1989, Toyota decided to do something about its conservative image and founded the luxury brand Lexus. The 1990 Geneva Motor Show featured the new brand's first model for the European market - the LS 400. Sold in more than 70 countries around the world, Lexus is the best-selling premium car in Japan. It consistently ranks among the top 10 Japanese global brands in terms of market value. Nagoya is where it is headquartered. Lexus' models are the sedans such as the IS and HS versions. The ES and the GS are the mid-size models. Large models are called LS models. The IS C versions are convertibles. NX and RX are small crossovers, GX is a mid-size SUV, while XL is a huge SUV (LX). The CT, HS sedan, GS, LS and RX are among the hybrid models. The GS sedan, RC coupe and LFA are the current versions of the F-series.

Lexus timing chain or belt?

If you drive a Lexus, chances are it uses a timing chain instead of a timing belt. Many older models of Lexus vehicles used timing belts, but that was usually before 2005 or 2006. Since then, almost every vehicle Lexus makes is equipped with a timing chain instead of a timing belt. Depending on the model, it may be a slightly later year when the switch was made, but for the most part, you can expect that every modern Lexus currently uses a timing chain. Read on this page which models have a timing belt or chain.
