Luxury automaker Lexus is known for its luxurious rides, cutting-edge technology and reputation as one of the most reliable vehicles on the road. Drivers can expect to keep their Lexus for up to 20 years or 250-300,000 miles.

Lexus is the second best car brand in America when it comes to maintenance and reliability. It also has the strongest customer loyalty among luxury automakers. Like other high-end cars, the Lexus has slightly above-average annual maintenance costs, but its durability can save you money over time.

Along with its parent company Toyota, Lexus has long been considered one of the most reliable automakers. Nearly every model in the Lexus portfolio received an above-average rating in the annual consumer research report. On average, only 8 percent of Lexus owner trips to the store every two years are considered major repairs.

The Lexus GX SUV received a perfect 100 out of 100 on the Kelly Blue Book rating and was named the most reliable brand by Lexus.

A typical car has a lifespan of 200,000 miles; therefore, you can use 50% more Lexus than a typical vehicle.

If you have a long commute or drive long distances, this durability can be a deciding factor when choosing a car.

If you drive less than 15,000 miles a year, a Lexus can last up to 20 years on the road. This is a nearly 100% increase over the typical service life of other models (11 years).

Following the manufacturer's recommended maintenance schedule, keeping your vehicle clean and obeying traffic laws can extend the life of your vehicle.

Of course, not every Lexus will last that long, and some Lexus models can go 300,000 miles or more without major issues. Repairs can become more difficult as the car reaches its maximum mileage, but Lexus and Toyota seem eager and able to push those limits.

Lexus is like any other car. With careful handling and proper care, they will last longer. Poor maintenance habits, reckless driving and insufficient storage can shorten the life of a car.

It is also important to remember that different models behave differently. Smaller cars generally last longer than larger cars, and frequent increases in speed and power can also stress other parts of the car, shortening its lifespan.

The UX is a subcompact SUV from Lexus known for its sleek cabin and smooth handling. The International Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) claims its clunky infotainment system and sluggish engine make it less safe than competing models. Reviewers also noted that the UX's low beams occasionally produced excessive glare.

Even though the UX is the most affordable model in Lexus' portfolio, it's worth noting that many automakers would be happy with an 80 J.D. rating.
