What are the Latest Trends in the Automotive Industry?

As a leader in the automotive industry, Lexus knows how to stay ahead of trends. From adopting the latest technology to pushing the boundaries of comfort and luxury, these are some of the biggest trends we’ve seen emerging in the industry for 2023.

Top 5 Auto Industry Trends for 2023

Enhanced Connectivity

If you’ve done any car shopping lately, you’ve undoubtedly notice the huge surge in digital technology and advanced connectivity. Even outside of the auto industry, our lives are becoming more connected every day. For example, the Lexus LS 500 leads the way in both tech and connectivity with features like a massive 12.3-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto wireless compatibility. You can even have your own traveling Wi-Fi hotspot in your vehicle, and the Drive Connect subscription gives the driver access to an on-the-go Voice Assistant.

Innovative Driver Assist & Automation

Self-driving cars might have a long way to go until they become a reality, but Lexus is getting there with some of its latest driver assist and autonomous driving features. They remain at the forefront of development with features like Lexus Safety System+ 2.5, alerting drivers to accidental lane departures, pedestrians, and other vehicles. Several other features are in development as other automakers work to catch up, with plans for more automation coming soon from Lexus.

Rise in Demand for Pre-Owned Vehicles

Purchasing a vehicle has changed a lot in the last few years. With chip shortages, shipping delays, and other setbacks, most dealerships have seen a sharp rise in pre-owned sales, including us here at Lexus of Henderson. The rise in demand has pushed us to make buying pre-owned easier than ever, with added perks to L/Certified models, online financing approval, and haggle-free pricing.

Online Car Shopping

You can now buy your groceries online, so why not do the same with your next vehicle? One of the trends we’ve seen growing quickly is the demand for easier online car shopping. Lexus agrees, and that’s why you can now do almost all of your vehicle shopping on our website. Whether you want to view our available inventory or custom build your own Lexus, you can now shop for your vehicle fully online. You can even go over your lease and financing options, research the latest models, and order parts – all without leaving your home.

More Tech Partnerships

In order to bring the latest in technology and comfort to car buyers, automakers like Lexus are forming partnerships with tech companies all over the world. From hotspots to sound systems, more automakers than ever are looking to outside sources to bring customers what they want. While Lexus does invest significantly in the creation of their own connectivity and services, it doesn’t hurt to work with companies like Harman Kardon for specialized experiences.
