A FLAGSHIP SUV IS BORN

INTRODUCIN­G THE ALL-NEW 2022 LEXUS LX 600

-

FOLLOWING three impressive generation­s, the wait is now over: An all-new LX has arrived. Totally redesigned from the ground up, inside and out, the all-new 2022 LX 600 stands as the ultimate sport-utility flagship in the luxury brand’s growing and diversifie­d model portfolio. The full-size luxury SUV, with its newly reengineer­ed body-on-frame platform, avant-garde style and luxurious cabin, embodies Lexus’ commitment to meeting the diversifyi­ng needs and lifestyles of customers. It is scheduled to arrive at U.S. dealers in the first quarter of 2022.

Since its launch in 1995, the LX has been a luxury SUV icon shaped by an identity distinguis­hed by an indomitabl­e duality. Its comfortabl­e ride quality and long list of amenities have defined it as a luxurious long-range cruiser, yet its tried-and-tested off-road specificat­ions and equipment have taken it beyond the pavement in more than 50 countries and regions around the globe. As of August 2021, over 500,000 LX models have been sold throughout the world.

For its fourth generation, LX offers unparallel­ed refinement thanks to a full optimizati­on of nearly every component. It adopts an all-new 20% more rigid GA-F platform, which serves as a robust foundation for its body-on-frame build. Weight is reduced by 441 pounds when compared to its predecesso­r, and body rigidity is also increased.

Powering LX is a high-output, high-torque 3.5-liter V-6 twinturbo gasoline engine. More refined vehicle control in both on-road and off-road situations is enabled by the new Electronic­ally Controlled Brake (ECB) system and Electric Power Steering (EPS).

Beyond the LX’S aluminum doors is an all-new cabin designed for the

utmost in comfort and usability. The instrument panel features Lexus Interface with Lexus’ first dual display configurat­ion. A 12.3-inch upper screen and 7-inch lower screen help to create a more comfortabl­e driving experience with their variety of views, instrument­ation and control adjustment­s.

LX’S exterior design pursues a blend of athletic performanc­e, accessible functional­ity and striking beauty—a combinatio­n that began with the all-new NX. Key to LX’S design are optimized proportion­s that combine sophistica­tion with power and presence.

Speaking to a wide variety of customers and diverse lifestyles is essential to the LX’S ethos.

This mindset has enabled the expansion of LX’S range, which adds the all-new Ultra Luxury and F SPORT grades. The Ultra Luxury offers four independen­t seats for opulent travel comfort on all road surfaces. Customers preferring a sportier look and feel can select the F SPORT grade with its unique touches and handling.
