Why Lexus Just Fell Three Spots In Consumer Reports’ Reliability Rankings

It has not been a great end of 2025 for Lexus reliability wise. Long known for its excellent reputation for reliability, the Toyota-owned luxury car brand has seen faltering performance of late. It went from holding third place in the rankings of the most reliable brands to now being sixth in the current reliability rankings.

Consumer Reports ranks car brands according to the average overall scores of their new models. According to CR’s studies, Lexus’ reliability rank has dropped because models such as the Lexus GX SUV have seen a bit of a fall from grace, having gone from consistently scoring above average or even excellent marks to now earning mere average points.
