Lion Motors

Welcome to Lion Motors, located at 70 Eighth Avenue, Tauranga, New Zealand. As a reputable car dealer and point of interest, we are dedicated to importing only the highest quality vehicles that we would personally accept for our own family. With our commitment to providing exceptional vehicles at great prices, you can confidently choose Lion Motors for your next car purchase.

At Lion Motors, we prioritize positive energy every day, ensuring that our customers have a pleasant and stress-free experience. We want to make sure you are aware that this particular car has already been registered in New Zealand and is not eligible for a Clean Car fee or rebate. Our goal is to provide you with guidance on the environmental impact of the vehicle and whether any fees or rebates apply based on its CO2 rating. The lower the emissions, the higher the rebate, and vice versa. Please note that the fees and rebates mentioned are estimates and will be confirmed upon registration or application.

We understand that affordability is important to our customers, which is why we offer fast and easy financing options with competitive rates. Whether you have a restricted or international driver's license or a work visa, we can help you find a payment plan that suits your budget, with little to no deposit required.

Our affinity with cars from the Mini brand is evident, as we appreciate their individualism and the fun go-cart feeling they embody. Visit our online Mini shop to find parts and accessories that complement your Mini's unique style. Our stock is constantly changing, so be sure to check back regularly.

In addition to our car dealership, Lion Motors also offers a bespoke import service, where we can procure new and used vehicles at an all-inclusive, pre-agreed upon price. Our company director, Barry, frequently travels to Japan to personally select cars for Lion Motors and our discerning customers. We carefully select vehicles from affiliated auction houses in Japan and Barry conducts a physical inspection of each car. You can expect detailed information, including a video walk-around of the vehicle, before making your decision.

We strive to provide exceptional quality, outstanding service, and the best possible price. If you have found your dream car, let us assist you in financing it with our quick and easy online application, with no obligation to proceed. We also accept trade-ins of all conditions and offer fair prices. If you want to dispose of your current vehicle without the hassle of selling it, we can sell it on your behalf or buy it from you for cash.

For our customers outside of Tauranga, we offer nationwide delivery and pre-purchase inspections at reasonable rates, making out-of-town buying a breeze. Please note that the process from car selection to delivery typically takes 6 to 8 weeks.

Lion Motors is a boutique importer of quality cars from Japan, with bases in both Tauranga, New Zealand, and Tokyo, Japan. You can have peace of mind knowing that you are purchasing a professionally selected, high-quality vehicle.

If you're unsure about your financing options or what you can afford, start your search with our friendly Affordability Search. It will help you find vehicles that best match your current financial situation, budget, and lifestyle.
