Performance
Regardless of how you analyze the figures, this luxury SUV stands as a driver's dream. Lexus employs a specialized 3.4-liter V6 twin-turbo engine, seamlessly paired with a direct shift 10-speed automatic transmission. This high-output powertrain produces 409 horsepower and an impressive 479 lb-ft of torque, making it a valuable asset for low-speed off-road driving.
The 10-speed automatic transmission's broad range ensures heightened accuracy at every speed, with cross gear ratios facilitating quicker shift times and the ability to activate lockup at nearly any speed.
Built on a GA-F platform, Lexus ensures a balanced load distribution from the outset, contributing to stability during off-roading adventures and swift on-road maneuvers. The double wishbone suspension, strategically mounted for ground clearance, offers ample travel length to assist with bound and rebound. For added protection, a specially designed oil pan guard absorbs impacts and minimizes the force that could potentially harm the transmission.
The electronic brake sensors, activated with each pedal press, ensure linear braking, providing precise control on the trail as the vehicle adeptly counters slipping or spinning.
In the LX 600 F Sport trim level, drivers benefit from the assistance of a rear Torsen Limited Slip Differential (LSD). This LSD redistributes force to the rear left and right wheels as needed during turns and curves, ensuring stability on straight stretches without compromising speed.
On the pavement, the Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS) can firm up the springs for curves and loosen them for straight stretches. Lexus has enhanced its AVS with a linear solenoid valve system, ensuring greater precision through millisecond reactions to road or trail conditions.
Utility
This flagship SUV boasts an impressive ability to traverse water up to 27.5 inches. The new Lexus LX 600 excels with outstanding approach, departure, and ramp break angles, complemented by a 45-degree climbing ability and a maximum 44-degree inclination angle.
The latest model year brings further refinement to the multi-terrain system. Offering four-wheel-drive modes such as rock, deep snow, dirt, sand, and mud, drivers can choose from low to high range or utilize the auto mode. Crawl control provides five speed settings, controlling the throttle while allowing for steering. Downhill assist control regulates speed while safeguarding the transmission.
Active Height Control dynamically adjusts to assist the driver on uneven surfaces. Whether opting for a lower height for ease of loading people or cargo or automatically lowering the vehicle when the engine is turned off, drivers have versatile height options.
Interior
The new Lexus LX 600 comes with Takanoha wood trim and the option of a unique Sunflare interior, elevating its already well-endowed package with added elegance and style. A blend of top-tier features, luxurious ride quality, expansive cargo space, and advanced technology converges to create a truly opulent and well-appointed land cruiser.
In the LX F Sport Handling trims, the focus is on merging fun with comfort. Lateral g-forces are managed by the specially crafted front seat, adorned with the energetic Circuit Red to enhance the overall sporty ambiance.
At the LX 600 Ultra Luxury trim level, the second row boasts VIP seats. An adjustable front passenger seat allows for an expansive 43 inches of legroom for the seat behind it, with riders having the luxury of a pop-up footrest..
A simple button controls the posture for both rear seats. Headrests, cushions, and seatbacks prioritize Ultra Luxury comfort, with materials crafted to absorb vibrations for a smooth ride. Sunshades can be pulled down to block unwanted glare, and reading lights cater to nighttime drives. The rear seat display is easily accessible and user-friendly.
Ultra-Luxury AC includes overhead ceiling vents. Closing the cup holders' lid provides a flat surface for work purposes. With access to USB ports, DC power, and a wireless charger, passengers are well-equipped for a seamless and comfortable journey.
Technology
In the cockpit, the gauge panel receives assistance from a 7-inch touch display, conveniently presenting crucial information like vehicle ride height in two accessible locations. Additionally, drivers benefit from a 12.3-inch upper screen, offering expanded information or map views as required.
This dual-screen infotainment system delivers comprehensive navigation capabilities and integrates the latest in infotainment technology. The introduction of a new Voice Assistant enhances user interactions, making them more intuitive than ever.
For off-roading enthusiasts, the ability to monitor the vehicle is easier with four cameras surrounding it. These views prove invaluable on the trail. The back underfloor view ensures awareness of obstacles lurking out of sight.
