The Lexus LX is the luxury edition of one of the toughest vehicles ever made. Since the LX 450 arrived in 1996 as a lavishly trimmed Land Cruiser, every generation has shared its bones with Toyota's flagship four-by-four, which means a full frame, serious four-wheel-drive hardware and a reputation for running forever in places where breakdowns are not an option. That combination made it a favorite in the Gulf states, Central Asia and Russia, where buyers wanted both opulence and the ability to cross a desert.
The LX 470 and LX 570 that followed kept V8 power and grew steadily more luxurious. The fourth generation, introduced for 2022 as the LX 600, moved to the TNGA-F platform and swapped the V8 for a twin-turbocharged V6, with an Ultra Luxury four-seat version aimed at chauffeured buyers. A hybrid LX 700h was later added, along with an Overtrail model for adventurers. Some versions have faced engine recalls shared with the Toyota Tundra, an unusual blot on the badge.
The LX competes with the Range Rover, Mercedes-Benz G-Class and GLS, Cadillac Escalade, Lincoln Navigator and BMW X7, and in some markets with the Toyota Land Cruiser 300 itself. Owners praise its durability and resale value; critics point to thirst and a third row that is better for children. Coverage here includes reviews, recalls, armored and custom builds, regional launches and pricing, and any news of a new flagship to come.
The Lexus flagship SUV, a Land Cruiser in black tie for the Gulf, Russia's elite and American off-roaders, now with a twin-turbo V6 and a hybrid LX 700h.
