Lexus Certified Pre-Owned: The CarGurus CPO Guide

by Stephanie Wallcraft

2026 Lexus RX Hybrid Preview - summary

In Canada, Lexus doesn't actually officially acknowledge the odometer limits in terms of kilometres accrued for its certified pre-owned (CPO) program. However, the company does make public the fact that, to qualify for the program, a Lexus vehicle must pass a 175-point inspection at a Lexus dealership. Hybrid models must also pass a separate 131-point inspection.

Warranty

Lexus certified pre-owned vehicles are sold with a powertrain warranty that remains valid for 2 years or 40,000 km from the vehicle’s purchase date. This warranty is not transferable. Extended warranty coverage is available for an extra charge, referred to by Lexus Canada as service agreements, which may be transferable to a subsequent owner.

Roadside Assistance

Roadside assistance coverage is not transferable.

Vehicle History Report

Every Lexus CPO vehicle comes with a complimentary Carfax vehicle history report.

Complimentary Oil Change

The first oil and filter change performed after the Lexus CPO vehicle purchase is free of charge.

Exchange Privilege

Should the CPO owner not be satisfied with the vehicle, it can be exchanged for another Lexus CPO vehicle from within the selling Lexus dealer's pre-owned inventory within 10 days or 1,500 kilometres of the date of purchase.

Special Financing

Lexus Canada offers lease and financing products for their CPO vehicles through Lexus Financial Services.

Lexus connected services

Lexus CPO models also entitle their owners to a free 12-month trail for lexus Connected Services (where applicable, as this is only available on certain models). This includes Remote Connect, Safety Connect and Service Connect and can be accesssed by the Lexus App.

How good is the Lexus CPO program?

The fact that Lexus deosn't publicise the kilometre limits on its CPO vehicles isn't necessarily an issue, especially since the inspection process is a thorough one (in particular for hybrids). The complimentary oil change is another appealing touch, as is the standard 2-year 40,000km powertrain warranty is another plus point, but it's a shame that this warranty is not transferrable.
