With the Lexus Manila Gallery’s opening and Rockwell’s holiday raffle, the season offers two highlights: an elevated customer experience and a chance to win a P7.6-million Lexus GX Overtrail.
Lexus Philippines has a new home—four floors meticulously designed and curated to highlight the Japanese marque’s luxurious line of vehicles with experiences keyed into the brand’s philosophy. Spacious lounges surrounded by artworks, an in-house café, and a golf simulator headline the move to a new location called Lexus Manila Gallery. Since it opened locally 16 years ago, more than 12,000 Lexus sedans, sports utility vehicles (SUVs), and coupes have been driven in the country.

“This facility is geared toward more contemporary luxury but very much still rooted in Lexus’ heritage, core values, and philosophies,” said Lexus Philippines Chairman Alfred Ty at the establishment’s formal opening. “The new Lexus Manila Gallery was designed to evoke an amazing experience at every touchpoint for the ultimate convenience and ease of our customers. In Lexus, our philosophy is to treat each customer as we would a guest in our own home. It’s what we call the omotenashi (hospitality) spirit.”
Guests are welcomed by an eight-vehicle showroom on the ground floor with the latest Lexus models. The area’s vast space is enhanced by the natural light allowed inside the gallery, complemented by a natural wooden ceiling. Lexus Manila and Casas+Architects collaborated on integrating eco-conscious choices throughout the location, opting for natural wood, low-volatile organic compound paints, and energy-efficient lighting.

To the left of the showroom’s entrance are spacious lounges for clients to take in mementos of Lexus Manila milestones and view the latest lifestyle products offered by the brand. The inviting seats extend all the way to the welcome area for customers bringing in their vehicles for servicing. An in-house bar is located before the elevator toward the end of the showroom, where guests can enjoy coffee, Japanese-inspired mocktails such as Lexus’ signature drink Pink Blossom, a mix of lychee, grenadine, and cherry. These can be paired with cookies, brownies, or affogato and brownie ala mode dessert options. A New Car Release Room is dedicated to ensure privacy during vehicle turnovers.
On the Gallery’s third floor is the LFA room, named after the brand’s legendary supercar. The smaller showroom accommodates two vehicles, a golf simulator, and two Ogawa massage chairs for customers to unwind. The same open space treatment is given to the room that offers a wide city view. Artworks featuring Lexus vehicles are well-distributed throughout the gallery.
The property, which stands on 4,200sqm of land area, is 40% bigger than Lexus Manila’s former location also on 8th Avenue in Bonifacio Global City, which will be open till the end of the year. Service capacity has increased by 50% with the availability of 12 service bays in the new space.
“This facility demonstrates our commitment to raising the Lexus experience to even great heights,” Lexus Philippines President Masando Hashimoto underscored during the Gallery’s opening. “Sixteen years of good work are behind us, and even greater journeys lie ahead.”
