High Performance Powertrain
However you crunch the numbers, this luxury SUV is a driver’s dream. Lexus utilizes a special 3.4-liter V6 twin turbo engine and pairs it with a direct shift 10-speed automatic transmission. This high-output powertrain generates a whopping 479 lb-ft of torque, making it an excellent asset for low-speed driving off the road.
Its 409-horsepower engine utilizes electric power steering for extra refinement on the road and the trail. EPS provides light steering when going slow on the road and an extra weightiness for high speeds. This reduces how precise the driver must be when turning the wheel.
Drivers will like how this ride can give you a manual transmission-like acceleration.With ten speeds, the wide range ensures greater accuracy at every speed. Cross gear ratios ensure quicker shift times, and the transmission can activate lockup at almost any speed.
For protection, there’s a special oil pan guard that can take the hit and reduce force that could harm the transmission. By the way, this engine is a nearly 30 horse improvement over the 2021 Lexus LX 570. Turbocharged technology helps maintain reasonable fuel economy, especially when compared to the previous V8.
Active Suspension Features
On the road, an Adaptive Variable Suspension can stiffen the springs for curves and slacken the springs for straight-aways. Lexus has upgraded its AVS with a linear solenoid valve system. This 2023 redesign improves how fast and how accurately the system responds. The adaptive variable suspension reacts in milliseconds to road or trail conditions, and now it does it with increased precision.
AVS immediately adjusts to take the bump, rut or roughness. This ensures luxury level ride quality on the road and the most effective response on the trail.
With H1 and H2 settings, Active Height Control adjusts to assist the driver with rough surfaces. Drivers can choose low to help with loading people or cargo, or the vehicle may simply lower the height when the engine is shut off.
Additional Performance Features
The three-dimensional nature of the handsome spindle grille is another performance feature. Engineers fine-tuned the bars to ensure ample cooling for the high-output engine. Large side radiator grilles add more air as well as another dash of style.
Electronically controlled brakes ensure that this big rig has the stopping power it needs. Each time the pedal is pressed, the brake sensors detect the degree of the press. This ensures that you enjoy linear braking. There’s detailed control when on the trail as the vehicle works to counter slipping or spinning.
Stepping up to the LX 600 F Sport, drivers enjoy the assistance of a rear Torsen® Limited Slip Differential. This LSD moves force to the rear left and right wheels as needed during turns and curves. On straight stretches, it acts to ensure stability without slowing you down.
Off-Roading Refined
The 2023 model year represents further refinement for the multi-terrain system. Four wheel drive modes include rock, deep snow, dirt, sand and mud. Drivers can select from low to high range or utilize auto mode. Crawl control lets you choose from five speed settings, controlling the throttle while you steer. Downhill assist control regulates speed while protecting your transmission.
You can keep an eye on four cameras that surround the vehicle. These views help on the trail as you watch the front and sides as well as the rear. Best of all, the back underfloor view shows you what’s coming, ensuring that you know what obstacles are under your tires. On the road, 2022 Lexus LX drivers have noted that it keeps an eye on your blind spots.
Lexus utilizes a GA-F platform to ensure that the load is more balanced from the start. Its stability can assist with off-roading drives as well as speedy on-road maneuvers. A double wishbone suspension, mounted high for ground clearance, has the travel length needed to help with bound and rebound.
This flagship SUV can cross water up to 27.5 inches. It has excellent approach, departure and ramp break angles. A 45-degree climbing ability is complemented by its maximum 44-degree inclination angle.
Exterior Colors and Interior Color Schemes
The right luxury SUV comes in a color that suits your personality. That’s why the LX is offered in unique shades such as Manganese Luster and Caviar. Pearls come in exclusive Atomic, Nori Green or Eminent White. F Sport Handling trim levels offer Black Onyx or Ultra White exterior color choices.
There’s never been a more exciting time to personalize a Lexus interior. Color choices are unique and distinctive. There are the brown shades of Palomino and the flash and fire of Circuit Red and new Sunflare. There’s a traditional black and a luscious white and Peppercorn combination.
Technology and Trim Levels
The handsome exterior plays host to a luxurious, stylish, and high-tech interior. The gauge panel is assisted by a 7-inch touch display. This provides you with important information, such as vehicle ride height, in two convenient places. Drivers also have a 12.3-inch upper screen to provide more information or map views as needed.
This two-screen infotainment system provide full navigation as well as the latest in infotainment technology. A new Voice Assistant makes it easier than ever to simplify interactions.
F Sport Handling trims are all about combining fun with comfort. Lateral g-forces are tamed by the uniquely crafted front seat. The interior wears Circuit Red as part of its racy atmosphere.
Ultra Luxury Trim Level
In the LX 600 Ultra Luxury trim level, the second-row has VIP seats. The adjustable front passenger seat allows for 43 inches of legroom for the seat behind it. These riders may utilize a pop-up footrest. It’s like the Cadillac Escalade or Lincoln Navigator full size SUVs only every automotive dollar is well spent on technology and comfort.
For both rear seats, posture is controlled by a simple button. Already the chairs are shaped for sport driving. Headrests, cushions and seatbacks are crafted for Ultra Luxury comfort. Passengers won’t feel much of the road since the seat materials are made to absorb vibrations.
Riders can pull down sunshades to block unwanted glare. For nighttime drives, they have reading lights. A rear seat display is easy to reach and easy to use. Ultra-Luxury AC includes overhead ceiling vents. Closing the lid on the cup holders, the rider can enjoy a flat surface for work use. They have access to USB ports, DC power, and a wireless charger.
Futuristic Safety Systems on Board Now
Lexus has active features that will assist the driver in many situations. From bicycle and pedestrian detection to stopping traffic and intersection dangers, a warning system can lead to emergency auto braking or an emergency steering assist when necessary. For 2023, the camera and radar systems have been further upgraded to do more and to do it better.
