The Best Used Lexus Car Models to Stock Your Lot

Lexus has built its reputation on blending luxury with long-term reliability, giving used car buyers the comfort of premium features with the peace of mind of Toyota engineering. With retail prices for new luxury vehicles still near record highs, late-model used Lexus cars and SUVs are excellent alternatives for customers, and profitable opportunities for your lot. Strong resale value, and high consumer demand make Lexus a brand worth stocking. Here’s a closer look at five Lexus car models that stand out on the used market.

2021 Lexus LX 570

The 2021 LX represents the final year of the third generation (2008–2021) and remains a flagship option in the luxury SUV market. Seating for up to eight passengers makes it attractive to families seeking both space and prestige. Powered by a 5.7-liter V8 with 383 hp, the LX delivers strong capability, though fuel economy is poor at 12 mpg city / 16 mpg highway. U.S. News rated it a 6 out of 10, citing its off-road readiness and upscale cabin, but noted it’s for poor gas mileage.¹ 

2022 Lexus GX 460

Part of the second generation (2010–present), the 2022 GX strikes a balance between ruggedness and refinement. It seats seven passengers (it has three rows) and runs on a 4.6-liter V8 with 301 hp. Fuel economy is 15 mpg city / 19 mpg highway, typical for its class. U.S. News scored it 6.5 out of 10, highlighting its reliability and off-road strengths while noting limited cargo room and “lousy fuel economy”.² On the lot, the GX resonates in regions where outdoor lifestyles are common, often drawing buyers who might otherwise consider a Land Rover or Jeep.

2019 Lexus IS 300

The 2019 IS sedan belongs to the third generation (2014–2020) and offers seating for five passengers. It came with multiple powertrains: a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder (241 hp) or a 3.5-liter V6 with up to 311 hp. The IS 300 returns 21 mpg city / 30 mpg highway, making it efficient for a luxury sports sedan. J.D. Power rated the model 81 out of 100 for quality and reliability.³ The IS serves as an approachable entry point into the Lexus brand.

2017 Lexus NX 200t

The 2017 NX sits within the first generation (2015–2021) and provides a compact SUV option that appeals to a wide range of customers. It seats five passengers and comes with a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine producing 235 hp. Fuel economy is solid at 22 mpg city / 28 mpg highway. U.S. News gave the NX an 8.2 out of 10, praising its upscale interior and strong safety features.⁴ Compact luxury SUVs remain one of the hottest categories in the used market, and the NX tends to move quickly off lots, especially among buyers upgrading from mainstream crossovers into luxury.

2019 Lexus ES 300 Hybrid

The 2019 ES Hybrid kicked off the seventh generation (2019–2024) with a strong combination of efficiency and comfort. Seating for five passengers pairs with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder hybrid system producing 215 hp. Its standout feature is fuel economy, at 43 mpg city / 45 mpg highway, among the best in the luxury sedan segment. U.S. News rated it an impressive 8.1 out of 10, citing comfort, fuel savings, and reliability.⁵ This model is a standout option, as hybrid luxury sedans are increasingly in demand.
