INTRODUCING THE ALL-NEW 2022 LEXUS LX
A NEW LUXURY ICON HAS BEEN BORN
“Good things come to those who wait,” the age-old expression goes. Following three impressive generations, the wait is now over – an all-new LX has arrived. Totally redesigned from the ground up – inside and out – the all-new 2022 LX 600 stands as the ultimate sport-utility flagship in the luxury brand’s growing and diversified model portfolio. The full-size luxury SUV, with its newly reengineered body-on-frame platform, avant-garde style, and luxurious cabin, embodies Lexus’ commitment to meeting the diversifying needs and lifestyles of customers. It is scheduled to arrive at US dealers in the first quarter of 2022.
A NEW BENCHMARK OF LUXURY
Since its launch in 1995, the LX has been a luxury SUV icon shaped by an identity distinguished by an indomitable duality. Its comfortable ride quality and long list of amenities have defined it as a luxurious long-range cruiser, yet its tried-and-tested off-road specifications and equipment have taken it beyond the pavement in more than 50 countries and regions around the globe. As of August 2021, over 500,000 LX models have been sold throughout the world. For its fourth generation, LX offers unparalleled refinement thanks to a full optimization of nearly every component. It adopts an all-new 20-percent-more-rigid GA-F platform which serves as a robust foundation for its body-on-frame build. Weight is reduced by 441 pounds when compared to its predecessor, and body rigidity is also increased.
Powering LX is a high-output, high-torque 3.5-liter V6 twin-turbo gasoline engine. More refined vehicle control in both on-road and off-road situations is enabled by the new Electronically Controlled Brake (ECB) system and Electric Power Steering (EPS). Beyond the LX’s aluminum doors is an all-new cabin designed for the utmost in comfort and usability. The instrument panel features Lexus Interface with Lexus’ first dual display configuration. A 12.3-inch upper screen and 7-inch lower screen help to create a more comfortable driving experience with their variety of views, instrumentation, and control adjustments. LX’s exterior design pursues a blend of athletic performance, accessible functionality, and striking beauty – a combination that began with the all-new NX. Key to LX’s design are optimized proportions that combine sophistication with power and presence.
Speaking to a wide variety of customers and diverse lifestyles is essential to the LX’s ethos. This mindset has enabled the expansion of LX’s range, which adds the all-new Ultra Luxury and F SPORT grades. The Ultra Luxury offers four independent seats for opulent travel comfort on all road surfaces. Customers preferring a sportier look and feel can select the F SPORT grade with its unique touches and handling.
All-New Design
Completely redesigned inside and out, the all-new LX offers drivers the choice of five uniquely exceptional models. The LX Premium, Luxury and Ultra Luxury versions feature unprecedented levels of refinement. While the first-ever LX F SPORT Handling elevates the design and performance to visceral new heights.
Incomparable Indulgence
Experience the epitome of flagship luxury. Our first-ever four-seat LX indulges with massaging rear-seat captain’s chairs that recline up to 48 degrees. Trimmed in diamond-stitch semi-aniline leather, they also feature world-class accommodations including a power-retractable ottomanand personal tray table.
Power Fold-Flat Third Row
For the first time ever, the LX features power fold-flat 50/50-split third-row seats. This seating can be reclined for added comfort when in use, and folded flat into the cargo area when more space is needed. For faster, more convenient access, simply press the button in the cargo area to automatically fold or unfold the seats.
Engineered for Adventure
Crafting a driving experience around the driver’s senses means there is no meeting halfway. It means going all in on an all-new engine that’s smaller, yet more powerful. Engineering an entirely new body-on-frame platform that’s lighter, has a lower center of gravity, and is 20% more rigid than before. And enhancing handling systems to make every road, or off- road, more exhilarating than ever before. It’s the best of all worlds, crafted for one purpose: to empower you to discover more of yours.
More Power, More Exhilaration
Elevating performance on every road, the LX features a twin-turbocharged V6 that develops 409 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque, making it the most powerful engine ever fitted to an LX. Paired with a standard 10-speed Direct-Shift automatic transmission, this all-new powertrain achieves incredible performance, economy, and the refinement worthy of this Lexus flagship.
F Sport Handling
Engineered to defy convention, the first-ever LX F SPORT Handling reimagines the idea of the performance SUV. Unique suspension tuning further optimizes the LX’s lower center of gravity, and a Torsen® limited-slip differential further enhances cornering, traction and straight-line stability. Exclusive 22-inch forged aluminum F SPORT wheels help further reduce unsprung weight for optimal handling.
The All-New Lexus Interface
New for the LX, Lexus Interface connects you like never before. Among its abilities, Intelligent Assistant integration lets you use everyday, casual speech to control most in-car features. Cloud-based navigation offers more accurate directions and can provide real-time route information. While Profiles allow different drivers to create personalized settings that can go from vehicle to vehicle.
Ultra Luxury
The Lexus-first four-seat Ultra Luxury grade enhances the LX lineup with special attention paid to the rear passenger space and their experience. To help achieve an unparalleled comfort level, the front seat can move forward, and the seat reclining angle can be controlled up to 48 degrees. Additionally, the rear seat display, behind the front passenger seat, can fold down to allow for forward visibility, offering an airy VIP seating experience with a maximum leg space of 1,100 mm/43 in. This seating posture is easily achieved with the push of one rear control panel button.
