Lexus India Enhances Its Reach With a New Guest Experience Centre in Ahmedabad

Lexus India today inaugurated its new Guest Experience Centre (GEC) in Ahmedabad, reflecting the brand’s continued focus on enriching guest experiences across India. As the Indian luxury automotive market continues to grow and attract an increasing number of guests exploring luxury mobility choices like never before, Lexus is strengthening its presence to bring the Lexus experience closer to guests across the country.

The new Guest Experience Centre at Ahmedabad has been established by Bharat Toyota Tsusho Kirloskar Motor Private Limited (BTTKM), trade name Lexus Bharat, a newly formed joint venture between Kirloskar Systems Private Limited (KSPL), Toyota Tsusho India Private Limited (TTIPL) and Toyota Tsusho Corporation (TTC), Japan, reflecting Lexus’ long-term commitment to expanding its presence and elevating the luxury automotive retail experience in India.

The facility was inaugurated by Mrs Geetanjali Vikram Kirloskar, Chairperson & Managing Director, KSPL, Mr Nobuaki Yahiro, Managing Director, TTIPL, Mr Tadashi Asazuma, Deputy Managing Director, Toyota Kirloskar Motor and Mr. Hikaru Ikeuchi, President, Lexus India in the presence of senior leadership from dealer partners, Lexus Bharat, Toyota Kirloskar Motor and distinguished guests.

Ahmedabad GEC marks the first step in Lexus India’s planned network enhancement. Lexus India aims to strengthen its Guest Experience Centres across the country, enabling the brand to engage with a growing number of luxury consumers and provide greater accessibility to Lexus products and services.

Designed around the Lexus YET philosophy of “Simple yet Elegant” and “Minimal yet Rich” experiences, the new Guest Experience Centre represents Lexus’ contemporary interpretation of luxury. The space seamlessly combines sophisticated design, intuitive hospitality and meticulously curated guest experiences, creating an environment that is deeply rewarding.

In addition, the GEC blends the Japanese spirit of Omotenashi, which anticipates guest needs with genuine care and attention, with India’s cherished tradition of Atithi Devo Bhava, ensuring every guest feels welcomed, valued, and cared for throughout their Lexus journey.
