About

The Lexus LX500d is a flagship SUV that embodies the brands commitment to luxury and off-road prowess. Based on Toyotas new TNGA-F platform, it is 200kg lighter than its predecessor but still maintains a robust build. The exterior design is imposing, with a massive grille and 22-inch wheels that contribute to its dominating road presence. Inside, the cabin is spacious and well-appointed, though it lacks some modern luxury features such as a panoramic sunroof and captain seats for the middle row, which are available in international models. The vehicle is powered by a 3.3-litre twin-turbo V6 diesel engine mated to a 10-speed automatic gearbox, offering strong performance and off-road capabilities enhanced by features like Multi Terrain Select and adaptive air suspension. Despite its limitations, the LX500d offers a unique driving experience that combines old-school charm with modern luxury, making it a compelling choice for a specific segment of buyers.

Our take on this /// Verdict

The Lexus LX500d is a complex vehicle that evokes mixed feelings. On one hand, it exudes a sense of power and dominance, thanks to its massive proportions and intimidating road presence. The interior, while not as luxurious as some of its rivals, is still impeccably crafted with a rich blend of leather, wood, and metal finishes. The front seats are a highlight, offering exceptional comfort and support, making long drives a joy. However, the rear seats lack the luxury expected at this price point, particularly with the absence of captain seats and a third row, features that are available in international markets. The vehicles off-road capabilities are impressive, with advanced technologies like Multi Terrain Select and adaptive air suspension, but its on-road dynamics are less impressive, with noticeable body roll and a heavy steering feel. Despite its shortcomings, the LX500d has a certain appeal that resonates with buyers seeking a robust, old-school luxury SUV experience.

Price

The Lexus LX500d is priced at a steep Rs 2.82 crore ex-showroom in India. When you factor in the on-road costs, including taxes and other charges, the price can easily exceed Rs 3 crore. This pricing puts it in direct competition with other high-end luxury SUVs like the Range Rover and Mercedes-Maybach, where it struggles to justify its cost due to the lack of certain luxury features. However, for those who value the unique blend of old-school off-road capability and luxury, the price might be justifiable. Its worth noting that the Land Cruiser LC 300, which shares many similarities with the LX500d, is significantly cheaper, making the LX500d a choice for those who prioritize the Lexus brand and its specific offerings.

Latest Updates

Thursday, 10 October 2024 06:43 AM Lexus has introduced the LX 700h, a new hybrid variant of the LX series, which is set to be rolled out in late 2024. This model features a parallel hybrid system combining a 3.5L V6 twin-turbo engine with a motor generator, ensuring both high output and torque while maintaining the LXs off-road capabilities. The hybrid system is designed to preserve the vehicles reliability, durability, and performance. I believe this move towards electrification is a significant step for Lexus in the Indian market, where there is a growing demand for hybrid vehicles.

Thursday, 12 January 2023 06:26 PM The new Lexus LX was showcased at the Auto Expo 2023, highlighting its luxurious interior and exterior features. The LX 500d, with its robust diesel engine, is positioned as a premium offering in the Indian market. The showcase emphasized the vehicles off-road prowess and luxurious amenities. I think the Auto Expo was a great platform for Lexus to showcase the LX 500ds capabilities and attract potential buyers.

Tuesday, 03 January 2023 07:37 AM Lexus India has announced a price hike across its range, including the LX models, by up to 3.2%. This increase is part of a broader adjustment across their hybrid and electric models. The LX 500d, despite the hike, remains a strong contender in the luxury SUV segment in India. I believe this price adjustment is a response to market conditions and will not significantly impact the vehicles appeal to luxury buyers.

Friday, 23 December 2022 11:51 PM The Lexus LX 500d has been priced at Rs. 2.82 crore in India, available in a single diesel variant with a five-seat configuration. This luxury SUV is equipped with top-of-the-line features and is set to compete with other high-end SUVs like the Range Rover Autobiography. The pricing reflects the premium quality and advanced technology integrated into the vehicle. I think this pricing is competitive, given the luxurious features and performance the LX 500d offers.

Saturday, 25 March 2017 12:57 PM Lexus has started accepting bookings for the LX 450d in India, which is expected to be one of the companys most expensive models in the country. Although the LX 500d is the current focus, the previous LX 450d set the stage for Lexuss entry into the luxury SUV segment. I believe the success of the LX 450d paved the way for the LX 500ds strong market presence.

Mileage

Tuesday, 19 November 2024 12:12 AM The mileage of the Lexus LX500d is not its strongest suit, given its large and powerful engine. The 3.3-litre twin-turbo V6 diesel engine, producing 301bhp and 700Nm of torque, is designed for performance rather than efficiency. While exact mileage figures are not widely available, it is reasonable to expect that this vehicle will not be frugal with fuel. The large size, heavy weight, and the 22-inch wheels all contribute to higher fuel consumption. For those who prioritize mileage, the LX500d might not be the best choice, but for those who value its other attributes, the fuel efficiency may be a secondary concern. ABOUT The Lexus LX500d is a flagship SUV that embodies the brands commitment to luxury and off-road prowess. Based on Toyotas new TNGA-F platform, it is 200kg lighter than its predecessor but still maintains a robust build. The exterior design is imposing, with a massive grille and 22-inch wheels that contribute to its dominating road presence.
