LX Model Line Through the Years

Mention big SUVs and most people will automatically think of iconic heritage brands that have been tackling offroad paths and desert dunes for decades. Normally, they’re not supposed to be luxurious, just practical. However, Lexus asked, why you can’t have both? Why shouldn’t a big SUV have exceptional on and off-road performance and a luxurious driving experience? And so, the first generation of Lexus LX SUVs hit the marketplace.

Because of their combination of practicality and a go-anywhere-do-anything attitude with the luxury interior that drivers had come to expect from Lexus, the LX found its natural home in the UAE. This big SUV could tackle dunes and dry wadis then hop easily back onto the tarmac and into the city centre where it would look perfectly comfortable pulling up outside a luxury hotel.

It’s this dual personality that gave the Lexus LX such appeal. Today, it’s a popular choice for discerning drivers who want a vehicle that can cope with any conditions without any compromise on opulence or comfort.

The most modern Lexus LX model has adopted a more refined V6 boosted massively by the inclusion of twin turbochargers that give the 3.5Ltr engine a surprising amount of power. The 2023 LX model now delivers an impressive 409hp and 650Nm of torque – more than enough to cope with fast highway journeys or steep offroad inclines.

The modern LX gets a more sporty look

The Lexus LX’s looks have been continually refined and tweaked to give them that characteristic Lexus appearance across the years. The later models are now slightly longer and wider than their earlier counterparts and while the changes on the outside may be slight, they make a big difference to the amount of cabin room inside. The LX has a reputation for being a very roomy SUV, especially for rear passengers.

Lexus LX provides you with refined sophistication and smooth, effortless power, the F SPORT adds a touch of spice to the mix. This distinctive option still has the V6 3.5Ltr engine and a 10-speed automatic transmission, but it complements this with an exquisite interior to give it a more exhilarating and defined experience.

Safety first and advanced technology

Throughout its legacy, the LX has always put safety at the top of its priorities. The 2023 model comes with a Pre-Crash System with Adaptive Cruise Control and Lane Tracing Assist for greater peace of mind. Combined with Lexus Premium Audio System and a dual-screen infotainment centre, the interior of the modern LX has never been more technologically advanced. The ability for 2023 LX owners to sign up for the Lexus Connect app also gives you even more freedom.

Off-road developments

Today the Lexus LX delivers a wide variety of off-road additions including Crawl Control for steep hills and Multi-Terrain options. A differential lock increases the stability and controllability of the modern LX off-road, making it more than capable of transitioning easily between smooth tarmac and rocky slopes.

The modern LX is a masterpiece of engineering. The developments over the last two decades have resulted in a finely tuned machine that delivers power and reliability, excellent on and off-road capabilities and a wealth of additional extras. But it never compromises on comfort or luxury, making the LX a true luxury SUV of the highest order.
