Pros	Has a highly luxurious cabin Looks Macho Sufficiently Capable off the road	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
Cons	Expensive to buy and maintain	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
