Lexus LX at a glance
Quick model context before comparing photos and trim-level specifications.
Transitioning to the GA-F platform shared with the Land Cruiser 300, the fourth-generation Lexus LX manages to shed approximately 200 kilograms compared to its predecessor. This weight reduction is achieved through the extensive use of aluminum for the hood, roof, doors, fenders, and trunk lid. The 2021 model replaces the older naturally aspirated V8s with smaller displacement turbocharged engines, pairing this modern powertrain approach with an advanced hydraulic suspension setup. The flagship SUV remains a dedicated body-on-frame vehicle designed for buyers who require genuine off-road capability without sacrificing luxury amenities.

Lexus LX overview
Editorial context for design, cabin, performance, practicality, and buyer notes.
Design
The exterior of the LX maintains a commanding presence with dimensions measuring 5100 mm in length, 1990 mm in width, and 1885 mm in height, sitting on a 2850 mm wheelbase. Ground clearance is rated at 200 mm. Standard exterior equipment includes BladeScan headlights and LED lighting all around. The structural shift to the GA-F platform maintains the traditional imposing silhouette while integrating lightweight aluminum body panels to help optimize the center of gravity and overall structural rigidity.
Interior
Inside, Lexus has replaced analog dials with an 8-inch digital instrument cluster and introduced a dual-screen center console. A 12.3-inch upper touchscreen handles multimedia, while a lower 7-inch display manages climate control and driving modes. Beyond the standard five- and seven-seat configurations, the fourth generation introduces an exclusive four-seat VIP layout. This lounge-style setup includes reclining second-row seats with massage functions, an extending ottoman, independent climate control, and a central console display specifically for rear passengers.
Performance
The 2021 LX offers two turbocharged V6 engine options, both paired with a 10-speed Aisin automatic transmission. The gasoline LX 600 is powered by a 3.4-liter V6 producing 415 horsepower and 650 Nm of torque, achieving a 0-100 km/h time of 6.9 seconds. The LX 500d features a 3.3-liter diesel V6 delivering 299 horsepower and 700 Nm of torque, reaching 100 km/h in 7.9 seconds. The drivetrain features full-time four-wheel drive with a Torsen center differential, up to three locking differentials, and a low-range transfer case.
Practicality
With its 2850 mm wheelbase, the LX provides substantial interior volume, available in versatile five- and seven-seat configurations for family duty. A large 110-liter fuel tank ensures an excellent driving range for long trips. The shift to lighter body components helps mitigate the 2525 kg curb weight, making the vehicle slightly more manageable in everyday driving while retaining its heavy-duty towing and hauling foundations.
Safety and tech
The SUV comes standard with Lexus Safety System+ 2.5, which includes adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, lane keeping assist, and road sign recognition. A fingerprint scanner is integrated into the ignition button for enhanced security. For off-road driving, the LX includes Crawl Control, Multi-Terrain Select, and a Multi-Terrain Monitor that provides specialized underfloor camera views of both the front and rear wheels.
Buyer notes
When evaluating the fourth-generation Lexus LX, buyers should carefully consider their seating needs, as the interior layouts range from a practical seven-seater to an ultra-luxury four-seat configuration. Engine choice between the high-torque diesel and the more powerful gasoline V6 will largely depend on driving habits and regional availability. Ensure to verify specific trim equipment, such as the Mark Levinson audio system and specific off-road hardware, which can vary widely by market.
