New luxury home for Lexus of Auckland City

Opening October 28, the new home for Lexus of Auckland City will be a welcome addition to the luxury automotive precinct at the Newmarket end of Great South Road. Giltrap Group went back to the drawing board in creating what is a truly customer-focused location, which foregoes the typical exterior car yard and sales office format. Instead, all the facilities, from customer lounge, product displays and offices are indoors, leading to a more comfortable and pleasant experience, no matter the weather outside. Even customer parking will be within the new building.

Customers will be able to view new models, relax in the café-style customer lounge and take delivery of their new vehicle on the first floor. The business side of purchasing a new or used Lexus will take place in the vehicle sales representatives’ offices on the ground floor.

Founded in 1990, Lexus of Auckland City is New Zealand’s original Lexus dealership, but after 34 years on Great North Road, the increasing popularity of Lexus has meant they have outgrown their current site.

Lexus of Auckland City Chief Executive Officer Sharlene Van Dijk says her team looks forward to welcoming all customers, current and new, to the new site later this year, “Lexus is about sumptuous interiors, beautiful design and the best in automotive technology. We really wanted to reflect those qualities in our new home of excellence,” she says.

Dane Fisher, Giltrap Group Chief Executive Officer of Retail, says the opening of a new site for Lexus of Auckland City marks an incredible milestone for both Lexus and the Giltrap Group.

“I want to say a huge thank you to the Lexus customer base and our amazing Lexus of Auckland City staff who have made this new investment possible.”
