The stand-out success of the early summer came at the Auto Trader New Car Awards in London, where the famous automotive media company hailed Lexus as Most Reliable Brand for 2022.

One of the most significant and pleasing aspects of Auto Trader’s annual awards is that the accolades are voted on by more than 156,500 car buyers, meaning that real owners are making the decisions.

Explaining the Most Reliable Brand win, Auto Trader stated: “From the very beginning Lexus was created as the ultimate in both quality and reliability, created as a luxurious twist on Toyota’s existing reputation for engineering excellence. To this day it’s something owners clearly appreciate”.
