2025 Lexus LX

Price Range: $106,000 - $140,500

Good

The 2025 Lexus LX is elegant, opulent and impeccably built, boasting powerful acceleration, ample towing power and muscular off-road capability. But the LX falls short of other high-dollar flagship SUVs with its limited cargo space, ponderous handling and half-baked in-car tech features.Read full review

Overview

Written by automotive expert Dan Frio

Updated: 11/8/2026

Lexus' flagship SUV is a study in opulence, with nearly every visible surface in its whisper-quiet cabin wrapped in leather or exotic hardwoods, lush seats to sink into, and buttery smooth turbo V6 power. It can seat as many as seven passengers or as few as four. For 2025, the lineup expands with the LX 700h hybrid trim. The gas-electric combo, although gutsier, isn't much more efficient than the gas-only LX 600. Nor is the LX any more fun to drive — unlike its BMW and Mercedes rivals — or as roomy as its six-figure peers.

6.4

out of 10

We drove the 2025 Lexus LX on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.

Driving experience

5.8/10

How does the Lexus LX drive? This three-ton SUV's off-road capability is impressive, but it sacrifices daily-driving enjoyment. The LX 600's turbocharged V6 is powerful and the 10-speed automatic upshifts smoothly, so no problems there. But the steering feels heavy and disconnected, while the brakes feel lazy under a light foot and then grabby as you apply pressure.

Handling is also disappointing. The LX 600 leans dramatically around turns and feels unstable, especially if you hit a bump while you're turning. There's a general unwillingness to change direction with any urgency. Lexus' available height-adjustable suspension soaks up bumps, but it's bouncy and floaty and can be slightly nauseating for passengers.

Visibility is quite good for a large SUV thanks to the tall windows and large mirrors. Driver aids are well tuned and unobtrusive, while off-road features like crawl control with turn assist and a surround-view camera system are useful if you like to get dirty once in a while.

Comfort

6.5/10

How comfortable is the Lexus LX? The LX's comfortable front seats are wide, cushy and supportive, built like armchairs and great for long drives. The LX is also very quiet, and the climate system can cool and heat the cabin quickly.

The second-row seats in the LX are roomy enough, but the third row isn't anything to write home about, and it's not as easy to get back there as it is in other large luxury SUVs. The driving position is upright and commanding, so shorter drivers might struggle to find a comfortable arrangement. The large center console also gives a sense that you're being pushed toward the door.

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.

The second row has ample space and accessible Isofix points, making car seat installation easy — though the seat height might be a small challenge for shorter adults. The cramped third row, however, isn't suitable for child seats.

In-cabin tech

8.4/10

How’s the tech? The LX's bright and crisp 12.3-inch touchscreen is a huge improvement over the previous model's finicky joystick controller interface. The LX also offers USB charge ports for its second-row and third-row passengers. If possible, we highly recommend getting the Mark Levinson audio system. The LX also sports a solid selection of helpful tech, including a wireless charger, plenty of USB-C ports, and even a digital key that allows you to use your phone to unlock and drive away in the LX in the place of a physical key.

Storage & cargo

7/10

How’s storage and cargo? 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.

Value

7.6/10

Is the Lexus LX a good value? The Lexus LX is well built, with quality materials and a solid, rattle-free feel. However, it's priced higher to start than rivals like the Cadillac Escalade and BMW X7 and lacks some high-tech and convenience features expected at this level, as well as sheer space for things. The LX excels in off-road capability and durability, offering advanced systems that most buyers may rarely use. But it also delivers standout luxury touches, such as ultra-comfortable seating and thoughtful towing features. Value is highly specific to the buyer who appreciates these things.

Warranty coverage is typical, with four years/50,000 miles of basic and six years/70,000 miles of powertrain coverage. There's also one year/10,000 miles of free maintenance.

MPG

3/10

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 LX's showing a bit disappointing.

X factor

5/10

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.

Buying Tips for the 2025 Lexus LX for November

The 2025 Lexus LX is basically sold out new, so skip the usual new-car haggling playbook and shop the used market first.

New supply is effectively gone. There’s just 1 new LX listed nationwide, and with a 2025 model no fresh shipments are likely to bail you out, so a used LX will be the more practical path if you want a specific trim or color.
Used inventory is much healthier. There are about 75 used LXs nationwide, with used prices starting around $95,900, which gives you far more choice than the nearly nonexistent new stock.
If you do find one of the last new LXs, know that recent transaction data showed buyers paying about $10,700 below MSRP. There are no general customer rebates, so that discount is the whole savings picture.
Trim choice matters in the used market. Luxury and Overtrail trims have the deepest selection, while F SPORT Handling versions are much scarcer and may give you less room to negotiate.

2025 Lexus LX trim level differences

The 2025 Lexus LX is a large luxury SUV sold with two powertrains — LX 600 and LX 700h — and five trim levels: Premium (LX 600 only), F Sport Handling, Luxury, Ultra Luxury (LX 700h only) and Overtrail (LX 700h only). All trims except the Ultra Luxury come standard with a third row and seating for seven. The Ultra Luxury, true to its name, is configured for four passengers with second-row captain's chairs and cavernous room for reclining. The Overtrail is also available without a third row, reducing seating to five. Compare the 2025 Lexus LX trim levels in-depth.

Which LX trim does Edmunds recommend?

The base Premium trim comes so well equipped that it's simply a matter of indulgences to move up the trim ladder. An adaptive suspension, heated and ventilated front seats, navigation, and a small refrigerator are just a handful of the many standard features. We'd probably add the optional 25-speaker sound system, however. If you're leaning toward the LX 700h, we'd suggest the Overtrail. It's not only the most affordable version of the hybrid LX but also the most capable.

Competitors to consider

Three-row luxury SUVs abound, and many are roomier, drive better and start at a lower price than the LX. The Mercedes-Benz GLS and BMX X7 both handle like smaller, more manageable SUVs and are more fuel-efficient than even the LX hybrid. The Lincoln Navigator and Cadillac Escalade, while long and unwieldy in tight spaces, offer distinctly American takes on plush, leather-wrapped three-row luxury. Finally, the Infiniti QX80 is a more affordable and no less capable competitor that can tow up to 8,500 pounds.

Edmunds spotlight: LX goes overlanding with Overtrail trim

The new LX 700h adds hybrid capability and a new off-road-oriented Overtrail trim. It shares its V6 engine and transmission with the LX 600, but it adds an electric motor and battery pack for more power and fractionally better fuel economy (20 mpg combined, a 1 mpg improvement). The hybrid approach is more about dialing up performance (yielding double-digit gains in horsepower and low-end torque) without making the LX any thirstier. That newfound power can come in handy off-road, making the new Overtrail ideal for adventurous LX buyers. Big all-terrain tires, three locking differentials, and multiple crawl, climb and descend modes give the big LX enough muscle to get well off the highway. Both the LX 600 and LX 700h are rated to tow up to 8,000 pounds.
