Lexus LX – Review, Specs, Pricing, Features, Videos and More
The large Lexus LX is one of the few body-on-frame luxury SUVs left on the market. Based on the Toyota Land Cruiser, the LX is a bit of a jack of all trades. Hauling passengers, gear, or trailers, this big Lexus also features impressive off-road capabilities.
Power now comes from a 3.4-liter turbocharged V6 that makes in excess of 400 hp. Unlike a lot of its competitors, the LX only comes with four-wheel drive.

2022 Lexus LX600 First Drive Review: Comfortably Niche
My first impression of the 2022 Lexus LX600 happens at 7,200 feet, and roughly 7,200 miles from where it feels built for.
That’s not to say the latest Lexus flagship is totally out of place. We’re in Santa Fe, New Mexico, which throws stunning snow-capped vistas at me quicker than Hollywood can mine our nostalgia. A wholly acceptable spot within North America to launch a new luxury SUV, Santa Fe is. I’m pretty sure the Lexus team practically sold a ski-tripping family on a new one just by having the fleet parked in front of the hotel.
After over a dozen years, the Japanese luxury brand’s SUV flagship has received a much-needed generational change. As you’d expect after so long, that’s made for dramatic improvements across the board, from refinement, technology, capability, and yes, even fuel economy. The result is a big-time rig that wouldn’t look out of place launching over dunes outside Tabuk. That genuine off-road capability marks it out amongst the large luxury SUV crowd—only now it comes with better road manners.
