Used Lexus Cars at Vertu

Lexus occupies a distinctive corner of the luxury market. As the premium arm of Toyota, it pairs lavish, beautifully built cars with a reputation for reliability that regularly tops owner surveys, and a long lead in self-charging hybrid technology. On the used market, that combination of luxury and dependability is unusually compelling.

The used Lexus range spans the compact UX, the popular NX and larger RX SUVs, the ES and IS saloons, the CT hatchback and the fully electric RZ. Whichever body style and powertrain suits you, there is a used Lexus built around it.

Every used car at Vertu is prepared and checked by our colleagues before it reaches the forecourt, then backed by a 14-day money-back guarantee. If a car is not right for you, you have a fortnight to exchange it or take a refund.

Flexible finance, including PCP and HP, is available across our used car range, and part-exchange lets you put your current car towards your next one.

Buying used also widens what your budget reaches. Because a premium car takes its steepest depreciation early, a used Lexus can put a higher trim or a larger model within reach for the same outlay.

Why Buy a Used Lexus?

Reliability sets a used Lexus apart. The brand consistently ranks at or near the top of dependability studies, sharing Toyota's proven engineering while adding its own layer of meticulous build quality, so a used example tends to be a remarkably trouble-free ownership prospect.

Refinement is the other half of the appeal. Lexus cabins are hushed, beautifully finished and generously equipped, with the brand's takumi craftsmanship evident throughout, and much of that luxury carries straight over to the second owner at a fraction of the original price.

Then there is the hybrid expertise. Lexus has offered self-charging hybrids longer than almost anyone, so the used market is full of smooth, efficient hybrid models that lower running costs without the need to plug in, backed by a long track record of durability.

The table below groups the Lexus range by body type, with a note on why each one makes sense used and the fuel types you will find.

*The highlights shown describe the models in general terms. Used examples span several model years, so specification, powertrains and features vary by age and trim. Confirm the details of any specific car with a colleague.

WLTP figures are recorded under controlled laboratory conditions and offer a helpful guide for comparing models, though they may not always reflect real-world driving. Actual range and efficiency will vary with weather, driving style, road conditions, and vehicle load.

Lexus Self-Charging and Plug-in Hybrids Explained

Lexus was an early pioneer of hybrid power, and most of its used range is electrified. A self-charging hybrid, which Lexus has offered for many years, pairs a petrol engine with an electric motor and a small battery that recharges as you drive, running on electric power for a good share of town driving with no need to plug in, and delivering smooth, quiet progress and strong economy.

More recent models such as the NX and RX are also offered as a plug-in hybrid, with a larger battery you charge from the mains for a longer electric-only range. The UX is available as the fully electric UX 300e, and the RZ is a dedicated electric SUV, both with zero tailpipe emissions whilst driving. Which powertrain a specific used Lexus has depends on the model and its age, so it is worth confirming before buying.

Why Buy Your Used Car from Vertu?

Buying a used car from Vertu means a checked, prepared car and the same guarantees whichever dealership you use. Here's what that looks like.

Finance and Part-Exchange

Spreading the cost of a used car is straightforward, with two main routes and a part-exchange to put towards either.

Personal Contract Purchase (PCP) keeps monthly payments lower by settling most of the cost at the end. You can then pay the final amount to own the car, hand it back, or part-exchange it for your next one.

Hire Purchase (HP) is the simpler ownership route, with fixed monthly payments and the car yours once the last one clears.

A free, no-obligation valuation tells you what your current car is worth towards the deal, and Vertu will still buy cars that have finance outstanding. Our finance explained guide sets out the options in full.
