What happened
Lexus confirmed that the LS sedan will cease US production after the 2026 model year, concluding a 36-year run since its introduction in 1989. The brand is shifting its flagship focus to the LX SUV, which sold 7,464 units in the US last year. While US sales are winding down, the LS remains in production for markets including Australia and Japan, where a 2027 refresh is planned.

Why it matters
The decision follows a decade of sales decline in the US market, where annual deliveries of the LS fell to 1,082 units in 2025. This signals a major strategic pivot for Lexus, which is a luxury sub-brand of Toyota.
