get hold of the new Lexus LX going to be particularly complicated in Japan: the waiting list to receive the SUV It is no less than four years old, something that they warn about so that potential clients take it into account.
The brand itself communicates to its customers on its website that “if you buy from now on, the delivery of the car may take around 4 years. We will consider efforts to shorten the delivery time to our customers as much as possible, and we appreciate your understanding.”
The delay, however, is only for the Japanese market and Lexus It has not ruled on whether it may affect other countries.

Furthermore, although the LX is the one that is going to be delayed the most, the firm has issued a list with its entire range and the waiting periods that they will have: for the Lexus NX will have to wait more than a year, for the Lexus RX, depending on your chosen version, between three and five months; for the electric UX four months and for the CT200h and the LS three months.
In addition, there are other models and versions with which Lexus It directly indicates that you have to contact the dealer to get the information: Lexus ESLexus LC, Lexus RC, Lexus IS and the Lexus UX in their combustion versions.
You have to remember that only a month ago Toyota He already warned of a practically identical situation with the Land Cruiser, for which we will also have to wait another four years. Again, this waiting list crisis will only affect the Japanese market.
Of course, in the case of the SUV, the reasons mentioned were excessive demand, and that is, with a sales forecast of 5,000 units, the firm received 21,500 orders in the first weeks of the model for sale. In the case of Lexus, the reason has not been specified.
