The Lexus: From Kyushu to customers around the globe

We have brought together the manufacturing capabilities of all Kyushu, to deliver Lexus cars to customers worldwide.

Toyota Motor Kyushu was established in 1991 as the Toyota group’s first automobile manufacturing plant in Japan outside Aichi Prefecture, and we have continued to evolve since. We expanded our dedicated line for luxury Lexus cars in 2005, and opened the new Kanda plant for engine manufacturing. This was followed in 2008 by the new Kokura plant to manufacture components for hybrids, and in 2016 by the Technical Center, which strengthens design and development taking advantage of being close to production lines.

We continue to refine our expertise, building the highest quality into every Lexus, received the Deming Grand Prize, the highest award for total quality management in 2019.

The global automobile market is undergoing dramatic change. To meet the diverse needs of our customers, Toyota Motor Kyushu will continue to develop its proven strength in “integrated production of vehicles from backbone units” and “sticking to quality” to grow and develop together with the people of Kyushu, challenge aggressively.

We look forward to your continued guidance and support.
