Toyota Motor Corp. plans to begin building two more Lexus SUVs in Canada, according to people familiar with the matter, a major win for the nation’s otherwise-struggling auto sector.
The Japanese automaker will produce the Lexus NX crossover and three-row version of its luxury brand’s top-selling RX sport utility vehicle in Cambridge, Ontario, starting in 2022, according to one of the people. They asked not to be identified ahead of an official announcement the company has said it’s making at the plant on April 29 that will “further re-affirm” its commitment to manufacturing in Canada.
