What Company Owns Lexus?: The Relationship Between Lexus and Toyota

You might know that Lexus is known for stunning style and world-class engineering, but what company owns Lexus? Toyota is the owner of Lexus, though they remain separate brands with distinctive points of view. Toyota is headquartered in the city of Toyota, while Lexus is stationed primarily in Nagoya. But Lexus also has operational centers from Brussels, Belgium to Plano, Texas.

In fact, you can find Lexus vehicles in over 70 countries and territories around the globe. Japanese drivers make up the largest percentage of Lexus sales worldwide, but American drivers are a very close second.
