JAKARTA - Lexus closed the end of 2024 on the Australian market quite brilliantly by setting a record sales of the electrification segment of 10,164 units out of total sales of 13,642 units.

Launching from CarExpert, Tuesday, January 7, this achievement is equivalent to 74.5 percent of the total sales of Lexus in Australia in 2024, an increase of 60.4 percent from the previous year.

Of these, sales were dominated by 9,506 units of conventional hybrid cars, then 351 units of Plug-In Hybrid, and 307 units of Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV).

According to the report, most of the electrified driving cars were contributed by the NX SUV or contributed up to 77.9 percent of the overall proceeds.

The manufacturer with the 'L' logo said it had delivered 4,768 NX model units consisting of various variants such as NX350h and NX450h+ with the PHEV system.

Another low-emission Lexus model that is selling well in Australia is the RX model with most of it achieved by the RX350h and RX500h F Sport Performance models.

Furthermore, the newest compact LBX SUV that comes with a fully hybrid driver managed to contribute sales of up to 1,470 units, followed by the luxury MPV LM totaling 298 units in 2024.

Although demand for electrified vehicles is increasing in Australia, Lexus said it plans to continue offering gasoline and diesel-fueled vehicles according to consumer wishes.

"Our subscription will tell us when they are ready to switch to powertrain based on what they buy. We will not rush into making decisions," a Lexus spokesperson said.

Lexus first sold electrified vehicles in Australia in 2006 through GS450h and RX400h models. Since then, manufacturers have delivered 56,490 environmentally friendly cars in the country.
