This is a Motormouth couple car review of the all-new Lexus LX600 body-on-frame, large, luxury SUV. The LX has been totally redesigned from the ground up with new exterior and interior styling plus a new powertrain. This body-on-frame 3-row SUV has a 3.5L twin turbo V6 with a 10-speed automatic transmission, 409 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque with full time 4WD and active traction control. Gone is the V8 engine and the 8-speed automatic transmission, this twin-turbo V6 offers an extra 26 horsepower and 76 lb-ft of torque compared to the previous model. The weight of the Lexus LX600 has been reduced by over 440 pounds compared to the previous model and body rigidity has also increased. The new electronically controlled brake system and electric power steering gives the vehicle more control in off-road and on-road situations.
The LX has a front double wishbone suspension, rear coil springs, available front and rear air suspension and active height control for improved ride comfort. 22” forged aluminum wheels, the largest size in the Lexus line-up are available for the first time to improve off-road performance. Multi-terrain select with 6 drive modes and crawl mode features are also available including advanced technologies that support off-roading such as a multi-terrain monitor with LX’s first dual display to give drivers the confidence they need in harsher environments. The instrument panel features Lexus interface with a 12.3” touchscreen which shows navigation and audio controls, the lower 7” screen features climate controls and serves as a driving support screen for the multi-terrain select. The camera image gets displayed on the upper screen while showing the real-time vehicle status on the lower screen. This allows the driver to monitor off-road conditions without having to switch the displays. The LX 600 comes standard with a 12.3” touchscreen, wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto, a wireless charger, heated leather steering wheel, power driver and passenger seats with memory, heated and ventilated front seats, leather upholstery, heated rear seats, a power rear door with kick sensor, 20” wheels and Lexus Safety System 2.5+ and blind spot monitoring. The LX 600 can tow 8,000 pounds and has a starting price of $106,950 CAD/$88,245 USD, Premium $96,345 USD, F Sport Series 1 $119,950 CAD/$102,345 USD, Luxury $127,200 CAD/$104,345 USD and our Executive test model is $151,200 CAD/$127,345 USD.

Thank you guys for the excellent review! I would add a few things to this since I am an LX570 owner and a big fan of Lexus/Toyota. As an american/Middle eastern guy, I know very well what this SUV carries underneath its skin. There is a famous saying that says it all " If you wanna go for a Safari, it is either the land cruiser or the land rover. But If you wanna come back, its' a just the land cruiser". I want to explain here that most of the other brands that have capable 4WD systems are not truly off roaders because they break very often on the first day of off-roading. The Lexus/Land cruiser cars are expensive because of the way they are overbuilt! For Example, the Sequoia is larger than the land cruiser but in the same time much cheaper, isn't that weird! But once you get to know the details of the huge difference in the build quality, you will understand the cost difference. This car is built like a tank! It defies Physics laws! That's why they sell like cupcakes in the middle east (for desert off-roading) while no body uses a range rover for the same purpose! (No body wants to die in the desert with dehydration!). On a different note, I love how they fixed almost all the problems of the old LX570, the excessive weight, the very heavy stearing, the bad MPG and efficiency, the loud and noisy Crawl control system, the outdated Infotainment system, the relatively disproportionate breaking power, and the annoying body roll. I still didn't like the 2-screen infotainment system and I prefer the land cruiser' one over this one. And above all, the new Tundra infotainment system, which is the best ever! Also the Ultra luxury model is very overpriced for the that Massage package esp. that it is only for the rear seats and so falls short to all the other brands. Great Job guys for nailing it! I totally agree that the best trim level is the F sport or the luxury trim ( in the U.S.) not the Ultra luxury one.
That interior it's so spicey .....looks amazing
I love the color of that interior. Definitely a notch about everything else.
You like Halloween everyday huh
It’s hideous
@@mervinprone😂😂😂
You guys are spot on about the customers who buy these, we don't CARE if it's not the best tech, screen setup, storage space etc. We know it's reliable, smooth, luxurious, off road capable and has that lexus badge to prove it. That's why people get em, and that's why they sell very well despite the ridiculous gripes.
I absolutely love these. Especially with that Caramel Sundae interior (with Nuts!). It is expensive though. But they do seem to last forever. I’m certain it is quite often cross shopped with the Range Rover. Thanks for another brilliantly thorough review.
I’d take the heart ache of the Rangie every time
“Styles change, true style never changes”. Bill Blass (U.S. Designer). Reliability aside… I absolutely agree. Cheers!
Beautiful interior.
* * when will you do the 2023 Lexus LX600 review ? * *
....the only reason I subscribed is because I love the way Andrea presents, talks, smiles...!
I don’t have kids, only 2 friends and I live alone. Yet I want this!!🥴😩😍😍
A luxury Landcruiser. I can't wait for the new GX! MPGS are tough on the old gens
I traded my LX570 in for the RX450 Hybrid for my wife. Now I drive an old GMC Sierra. I want this LX in F sport.
The ultimate executive livery SUV. Competition for the Escalade
Yay...a lexus and the LX design is amazing despite the price tag....awesome review Andrea and Zack! Greetings from Ottawa
Thank you, so glad you liked it!
$100K is not bad compare to Range Rovers. Heck those Tahoes and Yukon top at $80K.
You are absolutely right Zack.
People that actually take their 4WD off road don’t rely on fancy cameras to navigate the terrain but rather they rely on their skill. And that’s something you can not buy.
Oh, Zac is so right on this many will buy it just drive this big Lexus.
Great review
Love my LX, this new gen is even better
for 100K+ you now LEXUS will make a TRUE RELIABLE, SAFE and PROVEN CAR! there is no denying! this LX will last GENERATIONS
I just saw this riding around in buckhead. Its very stately, this and the GLS and X7 really do have that king of the road feeling.
I miss my X7. It was a great daily and highway trip vehicle with a family of four. Cargo space is spacious with the 3rd row down. It honestly drives better and more bang for the buck then the GLS.
Beautiful ride and great review… prices keep going up!
Too pricey for me but love the 2nd row. It’s a nice way to relax or take break after long driving. Great video Andrea! 👍🏻👍🏻☕️☕️
Yeah $100Kmis no chump changes, beat a Range Rover in reliability though.
That's a big car Andrea, even Zack's scared! Looks plush inside too with that deep coloured leather look interia!
Thanks for the tip on how to TH-cam search for exact makes and models. I had been scrolling through hundreds of your videos, so that search technique is key!
Awesome! Yes, it's super easy, I use it all the time to copy video links for Instagram followers.
Always the best reviews! Have had several LX570s and this is an improvement for sure. Like the looks and reliability, but won’t trade current GLS due to infotainment
Thank you, really glad you enjoyed the review! - Andrea
Great review as usual. If money is no object and I want the most reliable upper luxury SUV in the world, Lexus LX has always been my top choice. Its a pity it no longer offers a V8, which is more suitable for its utmost character. The split screen infotainment system's aesthetic isn't as well coordinated as the system in Land Cruiser.
Money isn't an object for me but I do not desire to drive these large luxury homes on 4 wheels. Prefer compact SUV class with the handling and mall parking advantage. A V8 paired with $2 gas? For me it's driving to a gas station to fill it up weekly vs the $$$ that is inconvenient.
@@Flying-Fox19 it is a v6
@@TheRowrow88 The V8 comment was in response to Tom Chan saying it was a pity V8 was no longer offered. Sarcasm my friend. Who would need suck a gas guzzling engine anyhow in today's reality.
@GreyMatter-what a clown comment you made. If money is no object then add a LRA tank. I did to my Heritage 200 and now can travel 470-490mi before fueling up. My 200 is better then EV on the environment. My 200 will be around for 30yrs while EVs will be disposed of long before that and I won’t be part of the problem that’s occurring in 3rd world countries where rare earth minerals are being stripped mined and toxic chemicals being flushed into the local water system. Look up how much earth is stripped to create just one ev battery. It’s pretty disgusting. Windmills kill one million birds per year. So please, get off your high horse because someone drives a gas guzzler.
That’s right! I have two Lexus and I care about the badge. Great video! Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
You guys are right there We are brand loyals :) have a ES F sport and love it we don’t care what else is out there! There is reason Ford CEO used to drive LS 430 and he has told reporters Lexus finest automobiles in the world! :) always say nothing like a lexus
Gorgeous car! Love the delicious interior. Great review as usual.
Thank you very much! - Andrea
Nice video again folks, it’d be great if you guys do the new 2023 sequoia when possible.
We hope we get to drive it soon, looking forward to it! - Andrea
The front camera is definitely helpful in off road. Especially monitor the rocks in front and would go under the suv that may need to avoid. There is blind spot deep down
Waoo $7.50 us per gasoline gallon, that's some hybrid car advertising right there
no its 5.90 usd per gallon, similar to prices in San Fran and Los Angeles
I love Lexus cars, but they are old fashioned, which is not necessarily a bad thing. Maybe when I am ten years older, I will consider getting one.
How much did your subs go up when you added Andrea? She is great!
This is a good looking rig but have to go with the black out grill. Would love to see more pickup truck reviews.
Starting at over $100K...who's taking this beast off roading?!?! Thanks for the review.
First owners and most second owners won’t, but the third owner will. The biggest issue with the new LX is the front approach angle. Once you cut off half the front grill area and install a Dissent bumper it will be much better.
I would’ve added the g wagon and Range Rover to your top 4. The price and off road capability are definitely in their league.
The ranger rover is like dating the hottest flaky girl in school but you don’t marry her.
That interior is quite unique. I'm glad It doesn't follow any "Luxury Trends" or else it'd have a tacky "crystal" gear selector and remove all the hard buttons to the screen
The analog buttons are satisfying
In middle east this vehicle is selling like hot cake. This is a very serious off roader. None other vehicles you mentioned is capable of off roading
Tharindu Prasanna
Nonsense! The Jeep Wagoneer/Grand Wagoneer are just as capable off-road as the LX600.
LX600 over the Escalade anyday, the split screen layout is not too bad, but the push start button is in a weird place, indeed. The grill looks like a typical Lexus grill, great engine, great power, great sound, nice looking rear and LC200 looks better than LC300 imho
Great review as usual!! Love everything about this car except for that split screen layout. The LandCruiser has a better dash design IMO. Even Infinity is moving away from split screen layout!
Can you do a review on the Lexus Gx 460?
Andrea, definitively this Lexus suits you soooool well 🥳🥳🥳
Hey Guys, excellent review but, as you say, those beasts are built for North America, Middle East and maybe China and Russia. You love them, we hate them : too long for parking, too wide for our small streets, too high for underground parking slots, extreme high fuel consumption and a taste of "nouveau-riche"... :)
Greetings from sunny Paris (19°)
Wow what a professional,pleasing and enjoyable car review. " Way to go you two"~ you had me virtually sitting in that back seat, reclined and on my way back to Shaughnessy Heights. (Opps slept thru my spa appt). Did you say Airstream? :)
🌟🌟🌟🌟~Rating
Glad you enjoyed it!
When I heard the price all I could say was Oh My God. It is almost as much as my home cost. I can't imagine how much money one must have to consider purchasing something like this.
Most people buy them with long term loans and never actually own it. Pretty sad, as if you’re buying any vehicle you should not spend more then 15% of your net income on a vehicle. People are idiots and have horrible savings in retirement and car companies like colleges continue jacking up prices because borrowing is so easy
I am not sure the hybrid is really needed here. People that are dropping $130-150k on vehicle like this do not care much about saving a quarter buck per litre on gas.
And they obviously don’t give a shit about the environment either
Money rolls in easily for these owners. I was told by a banker that a lot of people earn enough to buy million dollar homes and can over bid 200-300k. Luxury vehicles on the road are a dime a dozen. Buying resale doesn't hurt either.
@@yerbamate86 maybe they care a great deal about the environment and for example have no kids. Having no kids (or limiting number of kids) saves the earth way more than having a large gas suv. However that’s a topic that would get no one elected so it’s not a conversation option in the race to save the planet.
The reason for that seat configuration is because the main market for LX is the Middle East, not North America. Also in some markets these are chauffeur driven, sorta like a AWD go anywhere limousine.
Great review. Personally not a fan of that front grille but looks better in black. Cool back seat! How did you find the 10 speed? I had a Lexus ISF with one, and it seemed to always be shifting, trying the find the right gear.
The engine concerns me. Hearing too many issues with the turbos right now
It's a little rough around the edges, but I would take this car over any other car in the competition.
Good video! Ordered one, told me about 3-4 hrs wait.
How come I feel the 2023 Sequoia Capstone interior looks way better and more modern than the new LX600? What’s going on?
No way,the leather quality and interior is better.
For my money,I would pay $90K base LX vs $70K capstone, it is only $20K difference.
Rather have reliability than technology, this will last more than an Escalade or Navigator, period. Could Canada be ready for the ultimate Toyota Alphard?
would it be possible to cover 2022 toyota sienna hybrid and compare with 2022 Highlander hybrid.?
Caramel sunset. Great review as usual. 🥰
Waooo excellent luxurious powerful machine LEXUS it is 600
is it true that to preorder the lx600, it take about 4 years in canada?
Thanks for the review! I am a longtime Range Rover owner (several full size and sport models). I have also owned a couple of LX570s, but switched to RR years ago, because the lexus just was not aggressive enough, styling as well as performance. How does this LX600 compare to the Range Rover, in your opinion?
Our family is waiting for the sequoia capstone. More space with the hybrid motor too.
Can't wait to drive the new Sequoia!
Not build in Japan where Lexus is. Big difference.
So many cars with hot interiors lately! Hate that grill tho.
Great job guys! It's a mixed bag for me. Aside from the Lexus reliability and the strong V6 I'm not loving it. It looks a bit cartoonish from the rear with the huge taillights and the front grill screams "steam train cattle catcher" as Zack pointed out. Yikes! For a vehicle in this class though the biggest let down is the way the rear cargo is configured with the dual height rear floor and the adjustable "tray thingy" to try and offer a normal flat loading floor for cargo. Very strange setup and overall rear passenger space along with cargo space is compromised compared to the competition. Again, great engine, fit and finish, reliability should be class leading but given the cost there are better packaged alternatives, I think!
This gives me big rang Rover vibes
My friend has a lx 570. He likes it and I asked him on the 2022 LX600, he likes it well.
Wow, if I were rich I’d have one just like this in my fleet 😆
For some reason it looks good when you see it from a normal angle that you would in real life like at 5:22 but hideous from most camera angles that journalist shoot the car at 17:58
I think if they gave this the new NX type screen it would have done a ton to help it.
❤️ your videos! Maybe the two of you - and everyone could help me out with suggestions. I have a back and neck issue and I need an SUV (probably has to be used) that sits upright like a chair. So looking for a high seat. And a neck rest that doesn’t push your head forward - that tends to happen to small people like me. Tahoe/Yukon sits good but I need better gas mileage. Don’t want a minivan. Trying to stay under 40k U.S. Any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!!
VW Taos. Good seats. Easy to get in and out of. Nimble to drive.
@@whatthe6532 awesome I will check that one out! Thanks!!
It looks like Lexus left few things out due to material shortages and chip shortages and those things will be offered in the next few years.
What about the LX500d?
Do you still have this vehicle?
The King. I'd get the F-sport with the blacked out grille
The interior is designed for people in middle east and their preferences. That's why its different than other cars.
How did Andrea get into reviewing? Was she always interested in cars?
Automatic running boards and massaging seats needed
Great reviews guys
LC 600 MOTORMOUTH
They could completely wrap the Escalade interior with 360 degree screens and I still wouldn’t buy it. The reliability is so low you may as well dump your money into a fire pit. The Lexus interior looks rich and luxurious. The exterior looks handsome and strong with the exception of the rear. The rear looks Durangoish.
The front grill and lights do look a little like a falcon. I like the wood versus the aluminum trim. The vehicle dynamics screen below the infotainment looks cheap and very 2005. The recliner looks cool but buying a bigger vehicle for fewer seats would be counter productive for me. The room behind the third row is a punch in the face to the buyer. Don’t most modern vehicles have like 99 station presets? Do we still require tuning knobs or volume knobs with all of the controls on the wheel? More & more vehicles intended to stray off the path now include screens with off-road details like torque split, axle travel and things like that. I don’t know how many of these will be used for serious off-roading just due to the sheer size of the vehicle but I don’t think the people taking the vehicles off-road will be triggered by the information on that screen. The panoramic roof would add some brightness to the interior but it looks Lexus went with torsional rigidity as a priority. That Nissan QX80 is about $35K overpriced. It rides like a prairie wagon on squishy flip flops. I definitely think people that buy these will love them.
Does anyone even use the tuning knob anymore? With CarPlay, Spotify, and all these other streaming services, who is even listening to the radio anymore?
TORQUE SPLIT AND ANGLE!
Is that $7.50 Us per gallon for regular gasoline or premium ?
Regular
What a tank. But hey,
It is a Lexus. It will
.......probably last for two
Decades.
Nice but they should have used the New Sequoia Size the measure the new LX. However it will sell because it’s new and a lexus with reliability. If they would have used the size of the new Sequoia, the option engine in the sequoia, add Panoramic roof and updated the dash design, it would be a great fit.
Great vids guys! Andrea adds strong perspective. Love your watch Zach. What is it.
It's a Zodiac Super Sea wolf
Thank you so much, really glad you enjoyed it.
@@Motormouth... thank! Zodiac makes a quality timepiece
Over $8.15 U.S. a gallon here in New Zealand but there’s a 25 cents a litre (NZ) for 3 months shortly and we’re heading towards 7% inflation 🤨
There are TH-cam videos of folks returning new Escalades because of reliability and constant repair. I’ll take the “Older Technology” of Lexus which is tried and true, over the flashy new technology that ends up being a headache! AND, since my SUV’s are used for extensive travel throughout the US, I like the peace of mind of Lexus!
What tends to go on them? Is it mechanical or electronic?
Very nice andrea!!
Zach. Your choice to live in Vancouver, one of the most expensive cities in the world, for Real Estate....and Gas.
Tech or reliability, id say you need both, like what good is the tech if its not reliable and breaks often, it then becomes a headache and not luxury. However not enough tech will make it boring. The LX could have more tech however again reliability is the focus here.
dream spec = white lx fsport
Really miss the night life shots, bring it back!
Why not the Sequoia instead to save money. Is it just the badging.
Is the Sequoia a good SUV cause our 2021 toyota highlander XSE got stolen a few days ago and I don't see any chance of it returning ever...
What about the small driver digital display with the cheap looking analog gauges on the side. What happened to a full digital display. Looks cheap compared to everyone else.
Agree Lexus doesn’t do it for me
Andrea do you have a radio
Not available here in Europe. I don't think we're missing out.
You got the Land Cruiser in Europe and we don't.
Great Channel. What city are they driving around?
Vancouver
@@Motormouth... thanks, I thought so but saw the ontario plate. I live east of Ottawa but used to live in Vancouver years ago. Beautiful city. Thanks for reply, will peruse your videos. Be well
The Grand Wagoneer has a 6.4 liter Hemi not the 5.7.
"For your consideration" had the Wagoneer not Grand Wagoneer, the base engine is the 5.7L
over here the amounyt of LX, GX on the roads and driveways is insane and i know none of them tow once in a blue moon i will see one towing a boat.
I want this in hybrid and for 60K CAD.
what watch is that?
Zodiac Super Sea Wolf
Andrea likes them big, no surprise there 🙂
Good car, but... why continue to use a partially digital cluster if they can use a 100% digital one, it's a luxury brand, it's obvious
It's a great all around SUV that will last "forever" if maintained properly in theory i guess. BUT, i think the new Toyota sequoia may be more practical, and a little cheaper
