Launched in March 2025, the latest-generation Lexus LX builds on its 2021 debut, marrying off-road toughness with upscale refinement like never before. The militaristic grille and signature check‑mark LED lighting cut a bold silhouette, while the robust 5.1 m-long body rides on a tough TNGA‑F chassis shared with the Land Cruiser, evoking both road authority and rugged adventure . Under the bonnet, buyers may choose between the muscular 3.3 L twin‑turbo V6 diesel in the LX 500d generating 409 hp and a formidable 700 Nm torque, or the gas-electric hybrid LX 700h, packing 457 hp and waterproof credentials including a battery and inverter that can wade through 700 mm of water—ideal for serious terrain‑crossing.
Performance meets capability with full‑time four‑wheel drive paired to a 10‑speed automatic transmission. Select the Overtrail variant and you gain locking differentials, 33” all‑terrain tires on 18″ matte‑grey wheels, underbody protection, and a rugged aesthetic—while gas‑powered trims retain adaptive suspension with crawl‑control and height‑adjustable air rides that lift the body by 3.3″ for obstacles . Impressively, the LX’s diesel variant was unveiled in India on June 6, 2025, with ex-showroom pricing from ₹3.00 crore for the Urban and ₹3.12 crore for the Overtrail edition .
Step inside, and the cavernous interior ready for seven or restricted to five seats shines with luxury: dual 12.3″ and 7″ touchscreens, an 8″ digital gauge cluster, wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, a head‑up display, and Mark Levinson’s 25‑speaker premium audio. Rear occupants enjoy ventilated and heated seats, four‑zone climate control, rear‑seat entertainment, ambient lighting, and even a front‑row massaging option in select trims .
Safety is comprehensive too: Lexus Safety System+ 3.0 comes standard, bringing adaptive cruise, automated emergency braking with curve‑speed management, oncoming‑vehicle detection, blind‑spot monitoring, rear‑cross traffic alerts, multi‑terrain view cameras, parking support, and a full complement of airbags .
From its March 2025 unveiling, the Lexus LX asserts itself as the epitome of luxury SUVs reimagined with off‑road grit—whether carved corners in city streets or blasting through wilderness trails, the LX offers unmatched versatility wrapped in Lexus’s unwavering elegance.
