Lexus is the latest automaker to offer a vehicle
subscription service, even if it isn’t marketing it that way per se. The
luxury brand is launching Lexus Complete Lease as a “full-service lease program,” but if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, well, you get the idea.
The program is offered exclusively with the 2019 Lexus UX subcompact
crossover, both the
UX 200 and the
UX 250h
hybrid, in all trim and option levels. Lexus is teaming up with roughly 80 dealers for the program in seven states: California, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Rhode Island. And it’s touted as a simplified monthly payment that includes insurance, scheduled maintenance and other services. So it’s a subscription service, OK?
More specifically, Complete Lease involves a two-year term capped at a total of 20,000 miles. Insurance is provided by Travelers and includes a $250,000 per-person and $500,000 per-accident bodily injury limit and $250,000 property limit, with a $500 deductible, though other rates and coverage can vary by state. You also get two years of connected vehicle services including SiriusXM satellite radio and
Lexus Enform Remote Destination Assist on models equipped with Navigation.
There’s no word yet on Complete Lease pricing;
Autoblog sought that information from Lexus and will update this if we hear back. But we know that
the UX is the lowest-priced Lexus, starting at $33,025 for the UX 200 and $35,025 for the UX 250h. For comparison’s sake, those are in the same ballpark as the respective starting prices for
Volvo’s XC40 crossover and
S60 sedan, which are available under the
Care by Volvo subscription service starting at $700 and $750 per month, respectively.
