The 2023 Lexus LX 600 blends luxury with rugged performance, making it a standout in the full-size SUV segment. Its bold exterior design is highlighted by Lexus’ signature spindle grille, sleek LED lighting, and muscular body lines, giving it a commanding presence both on and off the road. Built on the same platform as the Toyota Land Cruiser, the LX600 offers a luxurious experience with proven off-road capability.

The LX600 is powered by a 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 engine producing 409 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. This setup ensures strong acceleration and smooth power delivery, while standard four-wheel drive and adaptive suspension provide exceptional handling on rough terrain. Its body-on-frame construction makes it a serious off-roader, while its refined performance ensures a comfortable highway experience.

Despite its size and power, the LX 600 manages to achieve decent fuel economy for the segment, with an EPA-estimated 17 mpg city and 22 mpg highway. This efficiency is thanks in part to its lightweight platform and the advanced twin-turbo engine, which balances power with fuel savings.

The LX 600 prioritizes safety, coming standard with Lexus Safety System+ 2.5, which includes adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, automatic emergency braking, and pedestrian detection. Its robust safety structure and off-road tech, such as Crawl Control and Multi-Terrain Select, further enhance its safety credentials.

Inside, the 2023 LX 600 is a masterclass in luxury. The cabin is richly appointed with high-quality materials, including leather upholstery, real wood accents, and aluminum trim. The spacious interior features a 12.3-inch touchscreen, digital gauge cluster, and available rear entertainment screens. With seating for up to seven and a power-folding third row, it offers both comfort and practicality. Heated and ventilated seats, four-zone climate control, and a Mark Levinson sound system are available to enhance the premium experience.

The 2023 Lexus LX 600 comes in several trims, starting with the base model, priced around $89,000. The Premium trim adds more luxury features, such as upgraded leather and additional tech, while the Luxury trim, priced around $104,000, includes even more advanced features like the rear-seat entertainment system. The Ultra Luxury trim, at the top of the range, offers rear captain’s chairs, massaging seats, and a host of additional comfort-focused features, providing the ultimate experience for passengers.

The 2023 Lexus LX 600 combines the best of both worlds—luxurious comfort with off-road prowess. Whether you’re seeking a capable SUV for adventurous trips or a plush, high-tech vehicle for daily driving, the LX 600 offers it all in a sophisticated luxury package.
