2024 Lexus LX Review: Specs and Pricing

Overview

The Lexus LX has long been celebrated as a luxurious counterpart to the legendary Toyota Land Cruiser. However, with the 2024 Land Cruiser adopting a more compact design, the Lexus LX now stands alone as a full-size luxury SUV with robust off-road capabilities. Powered by a potent 409-hp twin-turbo V-6 engine, paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission and four-wheel drive, the LX600 delivers a refined yet powerful driving experience. Unlike the flashier Cadillac Escalade and Lincoln Navigator, the LX600 offers understated elegance and enduring reliability, making it equally suitable for both rugged trails and urban streets. While it excels in providing a smooth ride and comfortable seating, it may lack some of the lavish features found in other high-end SUVs. The Lexus LX600 remains a top choice for those seeking a blend of luxury and durability in their vehicle.

What has Changed for 2024?

The Lexus LX underwent a full redesign in 2022 and has seen minimal changes since then. For the 2024 model year, the only update is that the Ultra Luxury trim now features a rear-seat entertainment system equipped with wireless Bluetooth headphones.

2024 Lexus LX: Engine and Performance

The LX600 boasts a twin-turbocharged 3.4-liter V-6 engine, delivering 409 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque. It comes standard with a 10-speed automatic transmission and four-wheel drive. While Lexus is known for its hybrid powertrains, a hybrid version similar to the V-6 hybrid in the 2022 Tundra has not yet been introduced. On the road, the twin-turbo V-6 offers ample power and the refined presence expected of a luxury vehicle. In our tests, the LX600 accelerated to 60 mph in 6.1 seconds, which should satisfy most drivers. The four-wheel-drive system includes a low range for challenging terrains, though the fixed running boards may be vulnerable in serious off-road situations. Most LX600 models provide a smooth ride, although the soft suspension causes noticeable body roll in turns. The F Sport model’s firmer suspension reduces this roll but results in a harsher ride.

2024 Lexus LX: Interior and Comfort

The interior of the LX exudes luxury, beginning with a wide center console between the front seats that creates a cozy cockpit feel. Quilted leather upholstery, a leather-wrapped dashboard, wood trim, and smoked-chrome accents enhance the cabin's upscale ambiance. The front seats are exceptionally comfortable, although they lack the massage feature found in most other luxury SUVs. The base Standard trim seats five across two rows, while the Premium, Luxury, and F Sport trims add a third row, increasing passenger capacity to seven. The top-tier Ultra Luxury model is designed for those who prefer to be chauffeured, featuring a four-seat layout with dual reclining captain's chairs in the second row, a center console, rear-seat entertainment displays, and wireless smartphone charging, eliminating the third row.

2024 Lexus LX: Connectivity

The LX's dashboard features three standard displays: an 8.0-inch screen for the gauge cluster, a 12.3-inch infotainment screen, and a separate 7.0-inch screen for climate and vehicle controls. Both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come standard. Wireless charging is available, and for audiophiles, the stereo can be upgraded to a 25-speaker Mark Levinson surround-sound system, available with the LX Luxury or LX Ultra Luxury trims.

2024 Lexus LX: Warranty

The LX includes the same warranty package as other new Lexus models, which features a year of complimentary scheduled maintenance.

• The limited warranty covers 4 years or 50,000 miles

• The powertrain warranty covers 6 years or 70,000 miles

• Complimentary maintenance is covered for 1 year or 10,000 miles

2024 Lexus LX: Pricing

The 2024 Lexus LX pricing starts at $93,915 and can reach up to $134,490, depending on the trim and options selected.

Which one To Purchase?

We believe the Luxury trim offers the best value in the 2024 Lexus LX lineup—"value" being a relative term for six-figure SUVs. This trim adds premium features such as semi-aniline leather upholstery, a Mark Levinson stereo system, and elegant 22-inch wheels. Potential buyers should note that the top-tier Ultra Luxury trim reduces the seating capacity to just four seats.
