Lexus UK is delighted when its cars, services and people are recognised for their achievements in the automotive industry and beyond. Last year, critics and motorists alike were generous enough to bestow numerous awards, including multiple repeat wins in the vital areas of reliability and customer satisfaction, as well as for our new best-selling LBX model. Which begs the question: What will this year bring? Over the next 12 months this Lexus awards 2025 article will be updated with the latest honours. So watch this space!
Lexus awards 2025:
Record UK sales led by LBX
Lexus achieved record new car sales in the UK for a second successive in 2024 with 16,678 vehicles sold, an increase of 4.5% on the previous year’s performance. Leading the sales figures was the all-new LBX, which sold more than 5,500 units. This was closely followed by the NX with more than 4,300 deliveries, almost two-thirds of which were the NX 450h+ plug-in hybrid version.
These results also contributed to new record figures for Lexus in worldwide markets. Our global sales total rose by 3.3% to 851,214 units – another record-breaking figure. Meanwhile, European sales accelerated forward by 20% to 88,1814 units. In Western Europe, 99% of all new vehicles sold were electrified.
Lexus LBX retains its Best Small SUV title in What Car? awards
The Lexus LBX has achieved the distinction of becoming a What Car? award winner for two years in succession, retaining the title of Best Small SUV in the 2025 honours. The model’s success follows on from its dream debut a year ago when What Car? named it Car of the Year in addition to winning its SUV category.
What Car? editor Steve Huntingford commented: “The LBX may be the smallest Lexus you can buy, but inside it looks and feels very much like the brand’s larger SUVs, combining plush materials with superb build quality. Dynamically, the LBX strikes a fine balance between comfort and control. Meanwhile, its hybrid engine combines outstanding frugality with gutsy performance.”
During the past 12 months, the LBX has fulfilled its promise as a game-changing model, bringing authentic Lexus craftsmanship, luxury and refinement into one of the most fiercely contested market segments. In its first full year on sale, it established itself as our best-selling model in the UK and helped secure a new record sales volume.
My LBX is an excellent vehicle but, unlike the other vehicles I have owned in the last 30 years, (3 Subarus, 2 BMWs and an Audi), it has let me down and required AA assistance – twice!
The problem was the battery that has now been replaced free of charge but this was not the Lexus experience I anticipated. My decision to purchase the vehicle was strongly influenced by Lexus’ reputation for reliability and experience with EV technology, which unfortunatly has been as bad as the Range Rover I got rid of in the 1990’s.
Following a discussion about the battery problem and the inconvenience that it caused with the manager at Lexus Solihul, where I purchased the vehicle new 4 months ago, I had expected a response from Lexus. So far nothing
I have had my LBX since May last year and it has given me unstinting performance. It is not just a very practical car for everyday local trips, but is also comfortable on the long journeys It is responsive to the controls, and safe and stable in all conditions. A rewarding car to drive
My only disappointment is the LEXUS + App which does not always connect with the car to switch on the climate cotrol. On cold and frosty mornings this is a let down.
Not withstanding that last comment well done for making a winner.
With the success of the LBX & the positive reviews of the LBX Morizo RR, surely an annoucement is imminent ?
