Lexus revamps website for corporate customers

Luxury carmaker Lexus has revamped its corporate sales website to allow drivers, fleet managers and leasing companies easier access to information.

By visiting www.lexus.co.uk and clicking on the company cars section, visitors can access specification model comparisons, price lists and BIK tax costs for drivers, SMR and running costs for leasing companies and an amalgamation of the two for fleet managers.

Lexus national corporate sales and remarketing manager, Andy Simpson, said the new section of the website emphasises the focus the company has on true fleet business - including sales to leasing firms and end-users.

The site also features a large section dedicated to explaining the manufacturer’s extensive hybrid vehicle offering.

There is a huge demand for our hybrid models and we already have lots of chairmen from blue chip companies chasing our new LS600h which arrives in October, explained Simpson.

Not only is it a luxurious, sporting car but it fits in well with companies who want to promote their green credentials, he added.

Lexus is also working on the remarketing of its cars and is aiming to create a 14-day window when cars are de-fleeted from leasing companies - allowing the company to put these models through dealer network under the Fleet Direct banner to mitigate against shortages of used car stock.
