Lexus LX
LexusSUVDiesel
The Lexus LX 500d is Lexus’ flagship luxury SUV, combining a rugged body-on-frame architecture with a highly equipped premium cabin. Power comes from a 3.3-litre V6 twin-turbo diesel engine producing 304 PS and 700 Nm, paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission and four-wheel drive. Unlike many luxury SUVs that are primarily road-focused, the LX retains serious off-road equipment, including Crawl Control, Multi-Terrain Select, Downhill Assist Control and locking differentials. The Overtrail version goes further with dedicated all-terrain tyres and front and rear differential locks.
