Lexus LX FAQs

• Is the Lexus LX a good car?

  A real standout on both bitumen and off-road conditions, this SUV is a genuine all-rounder that exudes confidence in any environment, and under just about any set of conditions. Let's not forget either, this is a luxury SUV adorned with all sorts of premium materials, an expansive list of features, supreme comfort, and the highest build quality imaginable. This sort of car makes it easy for you to travel long distances, but it is equally as pleasant for the daily commute.

• What does Lexus LX stand for?

  According to Lexus, the "LX" tag is short for "Luxury Crossover". Mind you, some Lexus dealers will refer to the LX series and badge as being the shorthand name for "Luxury Four Wheel Drive", and they're not wrong either. In case you're wondering where you might have seen this car before, you should know the LX is based on the same body-on-frame platform that you will find in the iconic Toyota Land Cruiser, albeit there are premium upgrades, bonus amenities, and refined styling that distinguish this unit from its cousin.

• Is the Lexus GX or LX better?

  Both names are absolute gems within the Lexus line-up, although if you are looking to differentiate the two, you should know that the LX offers a longer wheelbase, which translates into more space inside the cabin. On that front, you can expect more leg and head room than in the GX, making for a more comfortable family SUV. So while the LX is more in keeping with a large SUV like the Toyota Land Cruiser, and a powerful one at that, the GX is more of a mid-size unit based on the Land Cruiser Prado. All told, the LX is a more complete car.
