Lexus is stepping up its SUV game with the 2025 LX, offering a blend of cutting-edge hybrid technology and off-road capability through the new Overtrail version. This massive SUV (2025 LX700H) now boasts an electrified powertrain with increased horsepower and torque, along with a host of features tailored for adventurous drivers.
Electrified Power: Meet the New LX700h
The biggest change in the 2025 Lexus LX lineup is the introduction of the LX700h hybrid. It pairs a twin-turbocharged 3.4-liter V-6 engine with an electric motor, delivering a robust 457 horsepower and an impressive 583 pound-feet of torque. This significant boost in performance makes the LX700h the most powerful version of the LX yet. The hybrid system includes a nickel-metal hydride battery and offers all-terrain driving capabilities, even allowing the SUV to operate purely on electric power in low-range scenarios.
While the EPA-estimated fuel economy is still tentative, Lexus anticipates a modest improvement over the non-hybrid LX600, aiming for around 20 mpg.
Built for Off-Road Adventure: The New Overtrail Trim
The Overtrail trim, exclusive to the LX700h, is built to tackle challenging terrains. With three electronic locking differentials (front, rear, and center) and 33-inch all-terrain tires, the Overtrail is designed for off-road enthusiasts. A front skid plate and a powerful 2400-watt AC inverter add to its rugged appeal, allowing adventurers to power devices at remote campsites.
To complement its rugged exterior, the Overtrail features a matte gray grille, dark chrome trim, and black-painted wheel arches. The SUV comes in a unique tan Earth paint option, while the interior offers luxury touches like black or Stone Brown leather seats and open-pore wood trim.
New Standard Features Across the Lineup
For 2025, Lexus is upping the ante on standard equipment for all LX models. Active height control, adaptive variable suspension, and a head-up display now come standard, enhancing the driving experience. Rear passengers benefit from new USB-C ports, while the LX700h receives added luxuries like a center console cool box, rear sunshades, and five massage options for the front seats.
Safety remains a top priority, with Lexus Safety System+ 3.0 as standard on all models. Features include adaptive cruise control, lane departure alert, and automatic emergency braking. The LX700h also offers Advanced Park with Remote Park, allowing the vehicle to park itself with ease.
Powerful Towing Capacity and Luxurious Ride
Both the LX600 and LX700h boast an impressive towing capacity of 8000 pounds, making them as capable for hauling as they are for off-roading. With its spacious interior and luxurious features, the 2025 Lexus LX promises a comfortable yet rugged driving experience.
Pricing and Availability
Lexus has yet to announce official pricing for the 2025 LX models, but the LX700h is expected to carry a premium price tag over the current base LX600, which starts at $93,915. The LX700h will likely push past the $100,000 mark when it arrives in showrooms early next year.
