Toyota and Lexus SUV Production in Ontario

RAV4, Lexus NX, and Lexus RX production across Toyota’s Cambridge and Woodstock manufacturing operations.

By Daniel R. NorthcottReviewed August 4, 2026General information

Cambridge and Woodstock is part of Canada’s current vehicle-assembly story, with a focus on Toyota RAV4 and Lexus NX/RX production. Because production plans can change during a model cycle, this guide uses dated language and treats the VIN as the final check for an individual vehicle.

What the plant contributes

Vehicle assembly combines stamping or supplied body panels, welding, paint, powertrain and component installation, software configuration, inspection, and end-of-line testing. The exact mix differs by plant and model.

What buyers should verify

  • The exact model year and trim.
  • The first VIN character and manufacturer plant information.
  • Payload, towing, seating, and equipment for the individual configuration.
  • Current recalls and service information.
  • Whether an “upcoming” production announcement has reached regular customer production.

What a plant location does not prove

Assembly location alone does not establish the percentage of domestic parts, long-term reliability, winter performance, or suitability for a particular family or job. Those require separate evidence and a real-world test fit.

Editorial ruleWe describe active production as current, announced production as upcoming or ramping, and uncertain future plans as unconfirmed.

Economic and supply-chain context

The assembly plant supports direct jobs and purchases from suppliers, logistics providers, tooling companies, maintenance contractors, and other services. Some of those suppliers also support vehicles assembled outside Canada.
