Why the 2023 Lexus LX500d is a Proper Luxury Full 4x4 with Little Competition

LX500d wafted along, gliding in regal elegance.
Written review HERE:
LX 500d has a Euro 5, 3.3L twin turbo V6 diesel, and LX600 uses the new Euro-5 3.5L twin turbo Petrol engine. Both have more power than the old Toyota/Lexus V8 engines they replaced, and both have AWD and a 10-speed automatic.
There is the full suite of driver and safety aids, including those needing active steering. The latter is now possible thanks to the new electric rack assistance has been adopted. Hoorah!
Shifting into drive using a slightly clunky leather knob on the centre console feels a bit old fashioned, and has a cheap feel to its movement. The rest of the switch gear has a quality movement worthy of a Swiss watch.
While the highway are where big SUVs are most at home, LX500d handled the twisting magnificence of the Royal National Park and Grand Pacific Drive in a delightfully relaxed way. You simply don’t rush things, when taking it easy is so much easier. It makes you want to stop to smell the roses.
Fuel consumption was excellent on the highway, and the 10-speed automatic was as smooth as silk.
Lexus LX was able to cash every cheque it wrote.
