Mr. Koji Sato, President and CEO of Toyota Motor Corporation, commmented and said: “Toyota has been fortunate to be part of this history. For us, Saudi Arabia has been more than a market. It has been our home, a home where many of our vehicles have grown stronger and more reliable. The late Abdul Latif Jameel was among the very first to join the Toyota family and place his trust in us. We are deeply grateful for that trust, as well as for the dedication of everyone who has carried it forward through the years. This trust became especially evident when we first launched the Lexus brand in 1989, a time when few believed Toyota could build a luxury car. Yet the late Abdul Latif Jameel believed in us, invested in our future, and stood with us through the challenges. The year 1993 marked the opening of the region’s first large-scale, world-class Lexus facility, even with only a single model to offer. Since then, together, we have built Lexus into what it is today in the Kingdom.”

Speaking about the collaboration behind this success, Hassan Jameel, Vice Chairman, Abdul Latif Jameel, Saudi Arabia, said: “For 35 years, Abdul Latif Jameel Motors has taken extraordinary pride in its strategic collaboration with Lexus, a relationship built on a shared commitment to innovation, quality, and exceptional hospitality. We thank Lexus for their steadfast belief in this market, and we extend our deepest gratitude to our loyal guests, who have made this journey a true success story. We remain committed to providing a luxury mobility ecosystem that is smart, sustainable, and aligned with our guests’ aspirations and Saudi Vision 2030.”
