Lexus has diverted a significant shipment of vehicles intended for China and the Middle East to the U.S. market, helping to alleviate a shortage of new models amid planned updates to its core lineup and the upcoming introduction of the GR performance series and Century luxury sedan. The move comes as demand remains high, with automakers scrambling to address supply chain disruptions. Industry analysts suggest this could provide temporary relief for buyers while Lexus prepares for its next generation of models. The strategy highlights the brand’s efforts to balance inventory and meet evolving consumer needs during a period of transition.
Lexus secured roughly 35,000 vehicles originally bound for China and the Middle East, easing a U.S. supply crunch as the brand plans updates to core models and launches GR and Century.
