The Lexus LX is the brand’s full-range luxury car. It is heavily based on the Toyota Land Cruiser, which is unavailable for sale in the country. The fourth-generation SUV is a great option for buyers looking for luxury, without missing out on an automobile’s sheer power and off-road capabilities. From pricing and aesthetics to performance and warranty, here’s everything you need to know about the Lexus LX before making a purchase.

Engine and performance
The LX600 features a twin-turbocharged 3.4-liter V-6 engine that generates 409 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque. It also features a standard 10-speed automatic transmission and four-wheel drive.

The engine provides a ton of power for a refined luxury vehicle. Upcoming car models may feature hybrid powertrains with gas-electric pick-ups, so keep an eye out on the market. Thanks to its top-notch engine, the car has quick acceleration and smooth and impressive power delivery.

Fuel economy
The Lexus LX600 has fuel ratings of 17 miles per gallon in the city, and 22 miles per gallon on the highway, which is impressive for luxury vehicles of this caliber.

Interior and cargo
The interior of the Lexus LX is modern and luxurious. It features quilted leather upholstery, a leather-wrapped dashboard, wood trim, and smoked chrome accents.

Of the five available trims, the Standard trim is the only one that seats up to 5 people in two rows. The Premium, Luxury, and F-Sport trims can comfortably seat up to 7 people with the additional third row of seats. The top model, or the Ultra Luxury variant, is the only model with a four-seat layout, with captain’s chairs in the rear divided by a center console, along with rear-seat entertainment displays and wireless smartphone charging capabilities. The front seats are cushy and comfortable for long rides. The LX runs very quietly as well, giving you a premium feel on your drive. Fitted with a height-adjustable suspension, the LX soaks up bumps like no other. The climate system is also capable as it cools and heats the cabin quickly.

The LX600 offers 41 cubic feet of storage space behind the second-row seats and a towing capacity of up to 8,000 pounds. The car also features a wide-door opening, lots of space, and easy-to-access LATCH points, making car seat installation a breeze.

Infotainment
The LX dashboard has three separate displays: an 8-inch screen for the gauge cluster, a 12.3-inch screen for the infotainment system, and a 7-inch screen for climate and vehicle controls. The infotainment system connects with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and offers wireless connectivity. The more recent models have an upgraded 25-speaker Mark Levinson surround sound system to revolutionize your driving experience.

Safety features
The car is equipped with standard safety and driving assistance features such as automated emergency braking with pedestrian-and-bicyclist detection, lane departure warning with lane-keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, and more.

The car has two different warranty options, namely the Limited and Powertrain warranties. The Limited Warranty covers the car for four years or 50,000 miles, while the Powertrain warranty covers it for 6 years or 70,000 miles. Lexus also offers a year’s worth (or 10,000 miles) of complimentary maintenance for the vehicle.
