The 2025 Lexus LX 700h: Incomparable Indulgence On and Off-Road

February 13th, 2025 by

The highly anticipated 2025 Lexus LX has arrived, blending powerful performance, refined luxury, and enhanced off-road capability. Since its debut in 1995, the LX has set the standard for flagship SUVs – and this year, it reaches new heights with updates to the LX 600 and the introduction of the first-ever LX 700h hybrid.

For 2025, the LX is available in five grades: Premium, F SPORT Handling, Luxury, Ultra Luxury, and the all-new Overtrail, making it the only Lexus model to offer both F SPORT and Overtrail configurations. The Overtrail grade, inspired by the Lexus Overtrail Project, enhances the LX’s legendary off-road capabilities with rugged styling, 33-inch All-Terrain tires, locking differentials, and a front skid plate, ensuring it’s ready for any adventure.

Built on the GA-F platform, the LX delivers superior handling and ride comfort. Lexus has fine-tuned the Lexus Driving Signature (LDS) for improved steering response and wheel articulation while maintaining durability and insulation from road noise. A double-wishbone front suspension and multi-link rear suspension further refine both on-road agility and off-road performance.

For those seeking hybrid efficiency with uncompromised power, the LX 700h debuts as Lexus’ first hybrid LX, featuring a twin-turbo 3.4-liter V6 engine paired with an advanced hybrid system. With 457 horsepower, 583 lb.-ft of torque, and an EPA-estimated 20 MPG, the LX 700h delivers seamless acceleration across all terrains. The hybrid system also introduces motor-assisted low-range off-road driving, enhancing control on rugged trails. A waterproof battery enclosure ensures durability in extreme conditions, including water crossings up to 27.5 inches.

The LX 600 continues to impress with its 409-horsepower twin-turbo V6, offering 8,000-pound towing capacity and responsive performance. Both LX models come equipped with a 10-speed Direct Shift Automatic Transmission, optimizing smooth acceleration and precise gear shifts for both city driving and off-road adventures.

With its combination of timeless design, innovative technology, and unmatched versatility, the 2025 Lexus LX redefines luxury SUVs. Whether navigating urban streets or tackling rugged landscapes, the LX is built to elevate every journey.
