Expert Verdict on LX

Insane! That’s the word I want to use for the pricing and road presence of the Lexus LX500d. It’s enormous, towers over everything else, and announces your arrival in the best possible way. Then, there is Lexus’s indestructible, bulletproof reliability and go-anywhere capability. Lavish, luxurious, and comfortable - the LX is what the cream layer of Indian buyers want and deserve.

Pros & Cons of Lexus LX

• What we admire in this car

  • Road presence : the LX is XXXL sized and looks enormous
  • Bullet proof reliability and indestructible : unbeatable peace of mind
  • Creamy smooth V6 diesel that sounds great and is efficient for a beast SUV
  • Overall comfort levels - huge seats, good ride quality
  • Brand recall - the Lexus brand feels at home in the Rs 2 crore + segment
  • Kit on offer : multiple screens, ventilated rear seats, soft close doors (powered), air suspension etc

• What could have been better

  • Way too expensive : you can purchase two Mercedes GLS for the price
  • No third row of seats : most rivals offer this at half the price
  • Limited 2nd row space : given this is a 2 row SUV, we expected more space in the 2nd row
  • Surprise omission of features - example, no powered rear window curtain, no panoramic sunroof etc
  • Limited network as compared to German rivals

Lexus LX Detailed Review

Massive front print with old-school design lines works well. 9

•  Although this is a new-generation model, it still carries many old-school design cues. Given its enormous size and dimensions, the LX500d has a lot of street cred
• The LX500d has the biggest wheels ever since on a Lexus product. At 22-inch, these are massive and fill the wheel arches very well. Tyre size stands at 265/50 R22.
• An XXL-sized grille dominates the front end - it's so huge that it can put to shame modern-day BMW grilles, too.
• The long and high bonnet adds muscle to the stance of the LX. This part of the SUV looks nice and very American-ish. 
• All four doors have in-built sensors for the key fob - you can unlock / lock the car via any of the doors. These also have the soft close function
• Rear of the Lexus is modern looking with large tail lamps and a connect glass theme.

Well laid out, airy and plush 8

• Unfortunately, this is a 2-row vehicle with 5 seat configuration. This however liberates acres of boot space for your luggage needs
• Getting into the LX is tough, though you can lower the air suspension by a few centimeters
• Thanks to the generous width, the cabin feels very airy. Even the seats are huge, thereby being comfortable for larger adults as well
• All the seats are ventilated - including rear. Further, rear passengers get dedicated screens for infotainment.
• The LX offers a four zone climate control. Rear two passengers can control the air-con independently from the small screen located behind the front arm-rest
• The 2nd row seats aren’t too good on leg space and knee room. This is one shortcoming here. However, width is generous 
• The LX is feature loaded - but still misses out on a panoramic sunroof and powered rear window sun blinds.

Smooth and very punchy for a diesel 9

• This is a rare engine in India : a creamy V6 turbo diesel unit on offer, paired to a 10 speed automatic gearbox. Max power is 409 PS and peak torque is 700 Nm. 
• Although smaller in engine capacity than the previous V8 motor, the 3300cc unit offers more power and higher torque. These are delivered across a wider range of engine speeds for powerful, linear acceleration. 
• Power can go to all the four wheels and there is proper, hard-core 4x4 hardware on offer. You can raise the suspension and hit the toughest of 4x4 trails around
• The engine is extremely refined and NVH (noise, vibration, harshness) levels excellent. The diesel engine is barely audible for rear seat passengers. 
• In daily driving in flowing traffic, the Lexus LX500d will offer fuel economy of 7-9 kmpl. Out on open roads, mileage increases to 10kmpl between 90-100 km/h.

LX engine specifications:

Transmission	Direct Shift-10AT
Mileage	7 kmpl
Engine	3346 cc
Power	304.41 bhp @ 4000 rpm
Torque	700 Nm @ 1600-2600 rpm
Drive Train	AWD
