2023 Lexus LX 600

Lexus LX 600 F SPORT Handling 4dr SUV Exterior

+72

The Lexus LX 600 is an improvement over the previous 570 model, but many of the old bones and habits remain. It's still an impeccably built and impressive piece of machinery whose strengths lie primarily in off-roading. But the LX fails to really provide the modern luxury experience you'd expect from a vehicle that costs this much. Most buyers' needs will be better served by other vehicles.

Pros

Quick acceleration and impressively smooth power delivery
Great-sounding Mark Levinson audio system
Ultra Luxury trim brings first-class accommodations to rear passengers

Cons

Big and top-heavy feel around turns
Excessively floaty ride like a 1970s Cadillac
Some driver aids can be overly intrusive
Not as much cargo space as some rival SUVs

What's new

Heated steering wheel now comes standard
Ultra Luxury model gets new Takanoha wood trim
Screen covers now standard with rear entertainment system
Part of the fourth LX generation introduced for 2022

Overview

With the Toyota Land Cruiser now discontinued in America, the Lexus LX is the closest thing we get to the off-road legend. The LX shares its Tundra-based underpinnings with the now forbidden fruit SUV, and in addition to possessing massive go-anywhere capability, it enjoys a high level of opulence as Lexus' flagship SUV.

Cost to Drive^{Cost to drive estimates for the 2023 Lexus LX 600 4dr SUV 4WD (3.4L 6cyl Turbo 10A) and comparison vehicles are based on 15,000 miles per year (with a mix of 55% city and 45% highway driving) and energy estimates of $4.45 per gallon for premium unleaded in Ohio.}

Just introduced in 2022, the LX 600 sees only minor changes for 2023. A heated steering wheel now comes standard on all models, and the top-of-the-line Ultra Luxury gets new Takanoha wood trim and an available Sunflare brown interior. Additionally, when you select the dual-screen rear entertainment system, the monitors now come with screen covers.

The 2023 Lexus LX 600 is indeed luxurious and capable, but competitors like the Cadillac Escalade, Land Rover Range Rover and Lincoln Navigator perform better in many areas. Find out how the new LX compares to its rivals by reading our Expert Rating below.

Rated for you by America's best test team.

Performance

7.0/10

How does the LX 600 drive? The off-road capability of this 6,000-pound SUV is undeniably impressive, but it isn't very enjoyable to drive on a daily basis. The turbocharged V6 is powerful and the 10-speed automatic has smooth upshifts, so no problems there. The steering and braking are uninspiring, though, compromised by the sheer size of the LX. The steering feels heavy and disconnected, while the brakes feel lazy under a light foot and then too grabby as you apply more pressure.

Handling is also disappointing. The LX 600 leans dramatically as you drive around turns and feels unstable, especially if you drive over a midcorner bump. There's a general unwillingness to change direction with any urgency.

Comfort

7.5/10

How comfortable is the LX 600? The LX's comfort and quiet clash with its floaty and uncontrolled highway ride. The excellent front seats are wide, cushy and supportive. They're built like armchairs and great for long drives. Get in that executive-style second-row passenger-side seat of the Ultra Luxury trim and you'll feel like you're in business class on a transcontinental flight. It's excellent and even tall adults can recline almost flat. The Lexus LX is also very quiet, and the climate system can cool and heat the cabin quickly.

The ride, however, seems very out of place in such an expensive rig. Lexus' height-adjustable suspension soaks up bumps, but you feel bouncy and floaty on freeway surfaces and it can be slightly nauseating.

Build & Price

Interior

7.0/10

How’s the interior? The two-row LX's interior is very roomy, but you're sacrificing a lot of versatility by not getting the third row in such a big SUV. The driving position is upright and commanding, so shorter drivers might struggle to find a comfortable arrangement. The large center console also gives you a sense that you're being pushed toward the door a little bit. Visibility is quite good for a large SUV, with tall glass and expansive mirrors that provide a clear view all around.

The cabin has an abundance of controls, a mix of physical and touchscreen, and many of them are for off-road features. It's a bit overwhelming at first. Also, while the doors open wide and there are plenty of grab handles, the vehicle's high seats and high step rails can make getting in and out a struggle for some.

Technology

6.5/10

How’s the tech? The LX swaps its finicky joystick controller interface for dual touchscreens, which is a huge improvement. It also finally joins the rest of the segment in offering USB charge ports for its second-row passengers. However, somewhat strangely, in the top-of-the-line trim we tested, only the second row gets wireless charging and massaging seats. (Lexus is expected to carry these features to front-row occupants in the future.) At least there's wireless smartphone integration for the driver.

We're still very underwhelmed with the LX's advanced driving aids. Adaptive cruise control tended to slow way too much for curves, and the auto backup braking was also overly cautious in approaching objects and abruptly stopping prematurely. There are off-road aids such as crawl control, and some other features like a surround-view camera that are nice add-ons, but nothing unique in the class.

Storage

7.0/10

How’s the storage? The LX 600 offers up to 46 cubic feet of storage space behind its second-row seats, and it can tow up to 8,000 pounds. Both are average for a large luxury SUV. But many competitors in this class are larger and offer much more cubic space for only a marginal difference in exterior vehicle size. Towing will also be a bit difficult because Lexus doesn't offer a trailer brake controller — something most large trailers require to operate the brakes. That's a strange omission for such an expensive vehicle.

Small-item storage is abundant in the LX, even if things aren't organized very well, so water bottles in the center console might roll around a bit. The second row's height is a bit of an obstacle for shorter folks installing car seats, but the wide door opening, excess of space, and easy-to-access car seat anchor points mean you won't likely have any issues.

Fuel Economy

6.5/10

How’s the fuel economy? The LX 600 gets an estimate from the EPA of 19 mpg combined (17 city/22 highway). We averaged 18.2 mpg on our mixed-driving 115-mile evaluation route, which includes a lot of highway miles, so not meeting the combined rating makes the changes in LX fuel economy less impressive.

Value

7.0/10

Is the LX 600 a good value? The Lexus LX is well built, with quality materials and padding almost everywhere your body might make contact with a surface. It is a solid-feeling vehicle, and we experienced no rattles or creaks. That said, the starting price is high for the segment and many competitors are less expensive even when optioned up — even with optional engines, which Lexus does not offer.

Lexus' warranty coverage is typical for the class. Basic and powertrain coverage is included for four years/50,000 miles and six years/70,000 miles, respectively. Roadside-assistance towing to a Lexus dealer is offered for four years and you get one year/10,000 miles of free maintenance.

Wildcard

7.0/10

The LX has a big, imposing presence. The large grille, the high ride height and the sheer luxury provided in the same package as such a capable SUV are impossible to miss. Unfortunately, the giant front grille is hideous by almost every aesthetic standard, and it's just not that fun to drive from a sporty perspective or a luxurious one.

Which LX 600 does Edmunds recommend?

If you have your heart set on an LX, we say opt for the midlevel Premium trim. That model gets you more luxury features like a head-up display, cooled front seats, heated second-row seats, an adaptive suspension, and a hands-free tailgate for not too much more than the base LX. It still won't be cheap, but it's a relative bargain for what you get.

Lexus LX 600 models

The 2023 Lexus LX 600 is a large luxury SUV sold in five trim levels. The lineup starts with the five-passenger two-row LX. The middle trims — Premium, F Sport Handling and Luxury — feature three rows and seating for seven. The range-topping Ultra Luxury deletes the third row and removes the middle second-row seat. Every version of the LX 600 is equipped with a turbocharged 3.4-liter V6 (409 horsepower, 479 lb-ft of torque), a 10-speed automatic transmission and four-wheel drive.

Lexus LX 600 vs. Cadillac Escalade

There's nothing wrong with the LX's twin-turbocharged V6. It provides adequate thrust and produces enough pulling power for most towing needs. Just don't expect it to sound particularly burly. If you want an aurally pleasing engine note, the Cadillac Escalade with its naturally aspirated V8 might be for you. In addition to its throaty engine, the Escalade delivers a comfortable yet well-controlled ride and a top-shelf interior loaded with GM's best tech.

Lexus LX 600 vs. Lincoln Navigator

When it was introduced in 2018, the current-generation Lincoln Navigator set a high bar for the large luxury SUV category. Five years later, the Navigator still impresses with its satisfying driving experience and luxurious cabin. Like the LX, the Navigator is powered exclusively by a twin-turbocharged V6. In the Navigator, however, the drivetrain is more potent, capable of getting the big SUV to 60 mph in just 5.6 seconds. Unfortunately, its real-world fuel economy comes in lower than its EPA estimates.

Compare Lexus LX 600 & Lincoln Navigator features

Lexus LX 600 vs. Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class

The Mercedes GLS is our favorite large luxury SUV. Unlike the LX, Escalade or Navigator, the GLS isn't based on a truck platform. Instead, it rides on a dedicated unibody SUV platform shared with the smaller GLE. Its platform, combined with a standard adaptive air suspension system, helps it achieve unmatched on-road comfort and excellent body control. Additionally, the GLS earns high marks for interior quality and tech, particularly its fantastic MBUX infotainment system. It's expensive, but what you get for your money is well worth it.
