The Lexus LX 600 stirred the pot only a year ago with its new twin-turbocharged V6 engine. This change showed the world that full-size luxury SUVs don’t require gas-guzzling V8 engines to enjoy enough power to perform well. The new 2023 Lexus LX 600 continues with minor tweaks, giving this model the competitive edge required to fight the other big dogs in the luxury SUV market.

The 2023 Lexus LX 600 grabs your attention right away

Lexus chose a massively aggressive appearance for its flagship SUV. The LX 600 features a massive grille, pointed daytime running lights, and a rounded front end. The ride height and boxy shape offer the presence of a serious contender for your attention. The imposingly luxurious look ends with a set of wraparound taillights and a pair of exhaust ports in the bumper.

What luxury SUVs compete with this flagship full-size Lexus SUV?

The new Lexus LX 600 stands tall against the likes of the:

• Cadillac Escalade
• Land Rover Range Rover
• Jeep Grand Wagoneer
• BMW X7
• Mercedes-Benz GLS

With this competition, you know the LX 600 has to be something special; and it is.

Lexus didn’t fix what wasn’t broken

The cabin area of the 2023 model is the same as the 2022 version. This means you’ll enjoy the benefits of a simple dashboard appearance, a divided center console, a massive touchscreen above a smaller one, and an uncluttered appearance. Choose the Ultra Luxury trim and treat yourself to Takonoha wood trim and the new Sunflare Brown upholstery color.

One small change made to the interior of the 2023 Lexus LX 600 is the inclusion of a standard heated steering wheel. Driving this big Lexus SUV in colder climates makes this new feature necessary and appreciated by many new Lexus owners.

Can the 2023 Lexus LX 600 handle off-road adventures?

This new flagship Lexus SUV shared man parts with the Toyota Land Cruiser. You’ll find a suspension made for on and off-road driving. The LX 600 is lighter than its platform mates, Toyota Tundra and Sequoia. This lower weight allows the LX to feel more nimble on the road while also being a capable off-roader.

Other items you’ll find in this Lexus LX that add to the off-road experience include:

• Active Height Control
• Adaptive Variable Suspension
• Multi-Terrain Select system
