2022 Model Redesign Year

The LX is a large traditional body-on-frame three-row SUV with all of the expected luxury trappings. All versions of the LX 600 have a smooth, powerful turbocharged 3.4-liter V6 engine, a super-quiet and lavishly furnished cabin, soft-closing doors, and genuine off-road capability. The V6 puts out a healthy 409 hp and is matched to a slick 10-speed transmission. However, unlike its competitors, the solid rear axle undermines ride, handling, and third-row space. The height-adjustable suspension can lower the vehicle for easier access or raise it for off-road obstacles. New for 2025 is a high-performance LX 700h powered by a 457-hp, 3.4-liter twin-turbocharged hybrid V6.

2022-Present

2022 Model Redesign Year

The redesigned 2022 Lexus LX 600 wraps the next-generation Toyota Land Cruiser in an upscale package, with a powerful turbocharged V6 engine, safari-ready off-road capability, and enough luxury amenities to make a debutante blush. It is powered by a 409-horsepower, 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 engine matched to a 10-speed automatic transmission. It is still a traditional body-on-frame design with a solid rear axle. The height-adjustable suspension can lower the vehicle for easier access or raise it for off-road obstacles. Standard safety features include FCW, AEB, LKA, LDW, and ACC, among others. For 2025, a 457-hp 700h hybrid is new.

2008-2021

2008 Model Redesign Year

Lexus uses a rebadged, more upscale Toyota Land Cruiser for its top-trim SUV. Dubbed the LX, it is one of the few SUVs that manages to be both capable off-road and civilized on pavement. It has a slick powertrain, a comfortable ride, and a quiet, nicely appointed cabin. Added features over the Land Cruiser include a height-adjustable air suspension and a power-adjustable steering wheel. Five adults can fit quite comfortably and cargo space is generous. The 2008 redesign brought a 5.7-liter V8 engine and a power folding third-row seat, which unfortunately consumes cargo room.

Our tested Land Cruiser only got 14 mpg overall, but was impressive off road. The crawl mode manages throttle and braking over tough terrain. A five-passenger version is new for 2018.

1998-2007

Lexus made its first foray into the world of SUVs with a re-badged, upscale Toyota Land Cruiser. Dubbed the LX470, this Lexus is one of the few SUVs that manages to be both capable off-road and civilized on pavement. It has a slick powertrain, a comfortable ride, and a quiet, nicely appointed cabin. Added features over the Land Cruiser include a height-adjustable air suspension and a power-adjustable steering wheel. Five adults can fit quite comfortably, and cargo space is generous. Stability control became standard for 2000.
