Lexus ES Warranty

The manufacturer’s warranty included with any new or certified pre-owned Lexus ES can be indicative of how much confidence the manufacturer has in its vehicles.

With a new ES, you get:

• Basic Warranty for 48 months or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first
• Powertrain Warranty for 72 months or 70,000 miles, whichever comes first
• Corrosion Perforation Warranty for 72 months, regardless of mileage

If you choose a certified pre-owned (CPO) Lexus, you will benefit from the remaining Basic Warranty, in addition to two years and unlimited miles of coverage under the L/Certified Limited Warranty.

CPO coverage also includes:

• Complimentary maintenance services for two years or 20,000 miles, whichever comes first
• Loaner car service
• Trip protection
• Roadside Assistance protection for two years after the Basic Warranty expires
• Towing

This is all to say that Lexus believes the ES will last and provide you with high performance for many years and many miles, with few to no surprises.

Safety Features

Driver safety and assistance features play a role in how reliable your Lexus ES is. Safety technology can help you avoid hazards and obstacles on the roads and keep you out of the repair shop.

From the base trim, you’ll find the Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection that helps prepare the brakes and, in certain instances, engages automatic braking. Likewise, the standard backup camera will help you see what’s behind you when reversing.

In addition, the advanced All-Speed Dynamic Radar Cruise Controls works to keep your Lexus at a set distance and speed—both at high speeds and in traffic. It will slow down your vehicle when it detects the car ahead reducing its speed. Then, it will accelerate again to the preset speed, when it’s safe to do so.
