Pros & Cons

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
