Lexus LX updated with new grade, enhanced safety and technology

Robert Barry · 0 comments

Lexus Australia has updated its flagship LX SUV for 2025, introducing a new Overtrail variant and rolling out technology and safety upgrades across the range.

The Overtrail grade is aimed at customers prioritising off-road capability, with standard front and rear locking differentials, 18-inch alloy wheels and all-terrain tyres. Unique styling details and a new Moon Desert exterior colour differentiate it from other LX variants.

Across the broader LX line-up, improvements include an updated Lexus Safety System+ package. Enhancements to the Pre-Collision System allow detection of bicyclists at night and motorcycles during the day, along with intersection functionality. New features such as acceleration suppression, Emergency Driving Stop System (EDSS), and a driver monitoring camera are also introduced.

Other updates include a fully digital 12.3-inch instrument cluster, wireless Android Auto (joining wireless Apple CarPlay), additional USB-C ports, and soft-close doors. A centre console cool box and front HDMI port are now standard in the LX Luxury grade, which opens the range and is available with a $5,500 Enhancement Pack.

The range continues with the Sports Luxury, F Sport and Ultra Luxury variants. Each brings unique features and styling details to suit different customer preferences.

The LX Sports Luxury gains massaging front seats and four-way manual headrests. The F Sport introduces sporty design elements and performance features, such as a Torsen limited-slip differential and performance dampers.

At the top of the range, the four-seat LX 600 Ultra Luxury focuses on rear passenger comfort, offering individual rear seats with ventilation, massage, ottoman function, and dedicated entertainment controls.

The LX is available with a choice of twin-turbo V6 engines – a 3.5-litre petrol in the LX 600 and a 3.3-litre diesel in the LX 500d – both paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission and full-time four-wheel drive.

Lexus continues to offer its Encore Platinum membership with the LX, which includes access to services such as Lexus On Demand, valet parking, and airport lounge access. All models come with a five-year/unlimited kilometre warranty and capped-price servicing.
