Lexus LX

Design & Quality

The interior of the 2025 Lexus LX is nothing but opulence, extravagance and also much practicality, which customers have become accustomed to for decades now, and we find the new changes are quite contemporary, and most of the buyers will appreciate these changes, just like we did. The cabin is incredibly beautiful and at the same time feels a lot premium due to the quality of the materials, which comprises emi-aniline leather upholstery, ash burl black trim, and soft-touch surfaces. Red ambient lighting or subtle white lighting makes the cabin nothing short of a cocoon-like ambience, and anyone in here for a long drive will just love to be on the road. As one might expect, the fit and finish are extraordinary, with tight panel gaps and durable materials. There is a lot inside the cabin that won’t fail to bring a smile to your face, you can explore a lot, the tech, features including a digital instrument panel and a 7-inch lower touchscreen for HVAC and infotainment controls, all of it is user-friendly.

Front Seat

The front seats of the LX are as good as one might want; the driver and passenger are for a real treat, right from the commanding driving position to great comfort and visibility, owing to the sizable windshield and slim A-pillars. The driver seat has 10-way power adjustments, while the passenger seat can be adjusted by 8-way, and both are assured of high lumbar support and memory functions. Further, the heated and ventilated seats add to the comfort, and the semi-aniline leather with contrasting stitching adds a luxurious touch. The multi-functional steering wheel, wrapped in leather and wood, is awesome, you get grip, easy to turn, and the size is perfect, and with tilt-and-telescopic super easy to make it fit right.

Electronic Parking Brake

The LX’s electronic parking brake (EPB) frees up cabin space and improves convenience, and is perfectly combined with hill-start assist and downhill assist control. The EPB makes it easy to navigate through stop-and-go traffic or steep inclines, quite common in KSA’s hilly areas and cities.

Rear Seat

At the rear seats, excellent luxury awaits you, especially in the Ultra Luxury trim, where the second row comes with individually reclining captain’s chairs with extended leg rests, massage functions, and vibration-absorbing cushions, truly lavish and ultimate comfort. Furthermore, rear passengers get access to a dedicated touchscreen control panel to set climate, seat position, and audio settings to their liking and comfort, hence allowing them to create a private lounge atmosphere. There might be some concern as the rear legroom is somewhat limited, considering the seats don’t slide back, and the third row (when present) is ideally for children. But the rear seat is a lot refined, promises great comfort and makes long trips or city driving extremely cosy.

AC Vents

The LX’s four-zone automatic climate control system is made for KSA’s extreme temperatures, as you get powerful cooling through front and rear AC vents. The digital climate interface, accessible via the 7-inch lower touchscreen, lets you make accurate adjustments, while rear vents provide consistent comfort for all passengers. The AC’s efficiency maintains a delightful cabin atmosphere, and nothing feels even during scorching summer drives, underpinning the LX’s suitability for the Kingdom’s climate.

Storage Options

It's not just the luxury and comfort, but the LX's cabin is designed for a lot of everyday practical use . Part of that goal is providing ample storage for families and enthusiasts. A deep centre console accommodates tablets or water bottles, while door-mounted cubbies and an in-dash shelf are good for smaller items like phones or keys. The spacious glove compartment is for your essentials, and the rear armrest includes cup holders for added convenience. Each door panel features a 1-litre bottle holder and additional cup holders in the rear armrest.

Armrest

The padded centre armrest gives much-needed comfort for the driver and front passenger, and is also used as a storage compartment for small items like wallets or chargers. Its sleek design allows for a relaxed driving posture with easy access to controls. The rear armrest, available in both bench and captain’s chair configurations, makes passengers stay absolutely comfortable during family outings or long drives.

Charging Options

The LX is equipped with multiple USB ports (including USB-C), a wireless charging pad, and a 12V socket to ensure connectivity for smartphones, tablets, and other devices. The wireless charging pad, located in the centre console, is quite convenient to use, charges the phone quickly and also means no cable, reducing clutter. Additionally, a 220V power outlet and HDMI ports (on VIP trims) support multimedia playback, perfect for families on road trips or camping adventures in deserts.

Boot Space

The Lexus LX has 621 litres of cargo space with all seats up, folding the third row expands space to approximately 1,200 litres, while folding both rear rows creates a flat load area of up to 2,000 liters, sufficient for family vacations or camping. The power back door with hands-free operation and low liftover height provides ease of use and accessibility. Compared to rivals like the Cadillac Escalade or Land Rover Defender, the LX’s boot space is fine, offering practicality and utility.

Defining the exterior of the Lexus LX is its overall body structure, imposing road presence, which grabs attention as it looks aggressive and exhibits Lexus’s signature spindle grille right at the front. With a strong character, the LX is an SUV that is immediately recognisable on the road due to its distinctive styling and body language, giving it a special place among the premium SUVs. The epitomise rugged functionality with the stylish and premium elegance, largely due to the sharp lines, dark chrome accents, and a curved outline that showcase Lexus’s fame to perfection, and along the way revealing the SUV’s multifaceted companionship for city as well as off-road adventures.

Front

The front of the LX is commanded by its legendary big-size spindle grille, exhibiting authority along with improving the aerodynamics and airflow for engine cooling. Donned by the attractive, sleek LED headlights with integrated Daytime Running Lights (DRLs) and adaptive high-beam technology, the LX promises brilliant visibility during nighttime drives or sandstorms. The standard fog lights help boost safety in low-visibility conditions, such as early morning mist or desert dust, while the noticeable hood lines accord a spirited, magnetic and aggressive stance, fortifying the LX’s luxury-off-road duality.

Side

The side profile of the LX is equally fine, which displays solid build yet elegant structure, pleasing to see the clean, flowing lines and rugged proportions that highlight its off-road capabilities.  The chrome-accented door handles and power-folding side mirrors with integrated turn signals and auto-dimming features are perfectly suited to its high-end characteristics. The dark chrome window frames and body-colored side mouldings protect against minor impacts in city or even some challenging off-road settings. The shark-fin antenna helps in better aerodynamics and blends superbly into the design, which nicely complements the SUV's overall stylish appearance.

Alloy Wheels

The Lexus LX’s alloy wheels, available in 18-inch and 22-inch sizes, and truthfully, they indeed strike a balance between style and performance. The multi-spoke 22-inch wheels on high trims matched with 265/55R22 tires give the LX an authentic and attractive sporty look and a perfect grip on asphalt or light off-road terrain. The Overtrail trim’s 18-inch wheels with 33-inch all-terrain tires are designed to offer exhilarating, rugged adventures across sandy dunes or gravel paths. We think Lexus has given a lot of thought while selecting the wheel sizes and tire designs, which is visible the way it gives you confident handling across diverse terrains.

Rear

At the rear, the LX gets a stylish, consistent design, prominently featured by full-width LED taillights with a distinctive L-shape, giving a distinctive brand identity. The rear bumper is carved with integrated dual exhaust outlets that make it look nice and sporty with some athletic touch. A subtle roof spoiler enhances the aerodynamic profile, while bold Lexus lettering replaces the traditional emblem on the tailgate, bringing a contemporary and upscale look. So, we think the rear blends well with the overall design of the SUV, which adds the credential of muscularity, matching the SUV’s commanding presence.

Colors

You can choose the 2025 Lexus LX from different colours in Saudi Arabia, including Terra Beige, Sonic Titanium, Sonic Quartz, Manhattan Grey Metallic, and Graphite Black. All of them are carefully selected by the brand, and they look incredibly beautiful and pleasing to the eyes. matching the SUV style.

The 2025 Lexus LX is retailed with two engine options.

Both engines come with full-time four-wheel drive with a Torsen limited-slip centre differential, for greater traction on sand, gravel, or pavement. Off-road systems like Multi-Terrain Select, Crawl Control, and locking differentials add capability, while adaptive variable suspension (AVS) gives a smooth ride on highways.

City Performance

In city driving, we like the way LX drives, delivering superior performance, which feels a lot refined with smooth power delivery from both engines. The hybrid LX 700h’s electric mode at low speeds improves fuel efficiency, which is perfect for stop-and-go traffic. The 10-speed automatic transmission is a great feature of this SUV, with smooth and seamless shifting of gears, and the full-time four-wheel-drive system ensures greater grip on wet or sandy city roads. Despite its size, the LX feels a lot lighter in steering, and not much of an effort to navigate through narrow lanes or crowded parking lots. The 360-degree camera, parking sensors, and Panoramic View Monitor simplify urban manoeuvring, and the cabin is silent, protecting from the sound.

Highway Performance

On the highway, our experience was much more exciting with the Lexus LX as it offers composed and feels extremely confident highway performance. The hybrid LX 700h, with its combined 457 hp powertrain, provides smooth, linear acceleration and overtaking is fun, without much effort, and so your long-distance road trips are going to be delightful by cruising on open roads. Despite the SUV being heavy, the advanced suspension system allows superb stability and minimal body roll at high speeds. What further eases the fatigue and boosts comfort is the adaptive cruise control and lane trace assist, especially when you’re on the road for a long time. We experienced some wind noise while speeding above 120 km/h, but overall refinement and ride quality are unparalleled, making the LX a luxurious and capable highway companion. 

Ride

The ride quality of the Lexus LX is something outstanding as you get smooth and comfortable, as best as one would expect, and so perfectly justified its premium, luxury SUV character. The adaptive suspension system is well-tuned to absorb bumps and uneven road surfaces, minimising body roll despite the vehicle’s large size and weight. While the ride can feel somewhat soft or floaty when compared to its sportier rivals, the LX is unbeatable when it comes to comfort and refinement. Being a high-end luxury SUV, the cabin is extremely quiet, and you’re totally isolated from any noise or sound from the outside world, well protected and taken care of inside a highly opulent private place on the wheel.

Handling

Despite its size, the LX handles with confidence, thanks to light, precise steering and a full-time four-wheel-drive system with front, centre, and rear differential locks. These features provide superior grip on sandy dunes, wet pavement, or gravel trails. The LX’s calmness on winding roads is magnificent, with minimal body lean and strong braking performance. The hybrid powertrain’s smooth delivery makes the handling striking, at the same time, off-road-focused features like Multi-Terrain Monitor, Crawl Control, and Downhill Assist Control offer precise control in tough conditions, making the LX a versatile performer for Saudi enthusiasts and families.
