Most Reliable Brand: Lexus
Find out why Lexus is the 2018 winner of our Most Reliable Brand award.

Like most of our awards, this category was decided by feedback collated from a survey of more than 40,000 car owners, all of whom rated their car in 16 key areas. That means an Auto Trader New Car Award is a real stamp of approval from people that live with the car day-in, day-out, and it makes each winner a true consumer champion. Not only did owners rate Lexus as the most reliable manufacturer, but owners also told us the brand’s products also saw the lowest number of repairs on average per year. Here are just a few of the comments that owners made about their Lexus…
- “The sheer attention to the precision of craftsmanship in and out of the car. Poetry in motion...”
- “I love the technology inside the car and the comfort of the interior seating.”
- “Superb build and engineering qualities.”
