The LX600, which has already been well received in North America for its robust appearance and luxurious interior, provides excellent driving performance based on the Twin Turbo V6 engine.
It also has the appearance of an authentic off-roader through a four-wheel rolling system. It provides a smooth ride on the road. The handling is relatively slower than competitive models such as BMW X7.
This is because Lexus optimized LX for comfortable cruising. The interior, which combines quilting leather seats, leather dashboards and wood trim, provides a luxuriousness that meets its purpose.
Lux added the hybrid model LX700h to the 2925 LX lineup and upgraded several specifications to the non-hybrid model. Improved safety technologies, such as emergency steering assistance systems, adaptive cruise control, and front vehicle detection systems, will be applied to all models by default. It also comes with a head-up display as a full trim.
In particular, the massage sheet provided as an option has been improved to control the strength and massage area. Meanwhile, as the existing base trim was deleted, only four trim options were available: premium, F sport, luxury, and ultra-luxury. The ultra-luxury trim comes with a wireless charging pad as standard.
The price of the 2025 Lexus LX600 starts at $106,850 (about 155.26 million won) and varies depending on options up to $115,850 (about 168.33 million won).Considering the cost-effectiveness, the luxury trim is the most reasonable.
In SUVs over $100,000, the concept of "cost-to-cost" is relative, but it includes semi-aniline leather seats, Mark Levinson audio systems, and 22-inch wheels to provide sufficient value. The ultra-luxury model, which is the highest-end trim, is limited to four indoor seats, so if you want a seven-seater, you have to choose a different trim.
The LX600 is equipped with a twin turbo 3.4L V6 engine to produce 409 horsepower and a maximum torque of 66.3 kgm. It is equipped with a 10-speed automatic transmission and a four-wheel drive system. Low-speed gears and central differential locks have been applied in consideration of off-road driving, but fixed side steps can be a bit of a hindrance in rough driving.
Most LX600 models maintain a comfortable ride. Due to the high body structure, there is a slight inclination in the corner. To compensate for this, F Sports Trim applied a firmer suspension. That's how hard the ride is.
The most important thing in a luxury SUV may not be the top speed, but the LX600 runs zero-back acceleration in 6.1 seconds. This is sufficient performance for most drivers.
The maximum towing capacity is about 3628 kg, which is a significant level. Fuel economy improved from the previous generation to 7.2km/L in the city center and 9.4km/L on the highway. The highway fuel economy test has not yet been carried out.
The interior of the LX600 is 'luxury' itself. A large center console divides between the front seats, harmonizing quilting leather seats, leather dashboards, wood trim, and smoky chrome decorations. The front seats provide the highest-end seats with massage functionality and can be configured for up to seven seats from most trims to three rows.
The ultra-luxury model, on the other hand, has a four-seater configuration that includes an independent reclining chair, rear-seat entertainment system, and wireless charging capabilities in the second row. This is a configuration that focuses on the Shopper Driven concept and three-row seats are removed.
The LX600 is a flagship SUV with strong performance and a luxurious interior that features versatile driving performance across on-road and off-road. In addition, a large number of cutting-edge safety specifications and convenience technologies have been installed to maximize the quietness and ride of Lexus, which is differentiated from competing models.
Especially in luxury and ultra-luxury trims, it is expected to be an attractive option for consumers who value comfort as they can enjoy more sophisticated specifications such as premium audio systems and massage seats.
The 2025 LX600 once again solidifies its identity as the "ultimate luxury SUV" pursued by Lexus by integrating the latest technology while preserving the value of traditional luxury SUVs. The domestic launch price is expected to be in the late 100 million won range.
