After years without a diesel SUV to compete with some of the luxury brands in the high-end sector of the market, Lexus has finally unveiled the LX450d. This all-new beast boasts a twin-turbo 4.5L direct-injection V8 engine. It pumps out 200kW of power and 650Nm of torque, with an emphatic portion of this coming right throughout the low and mid-range of the tachometer. While not as large as its bigger sibling, the LX570, this is still one mighty unit that has enough grunt to match its peer for 3500kg braked towing capacity. Off-road technology extends to a quintet of driving modes, two-speed transfer, multi-terrain anti-skid brakes, crawl control, variable gear-ratio steering, adaptive variable suspension, active height control, and a quad-camera multi-terrain monitor. With these fundamentals, it’s a given that this is a genuine off-road 4WD. Elsewhere, the LX450d benefits from the sophisticated safety mechanisms sought by the most discerning of buyers these days, like blind-spot monitoring, lane departure warning and radar active cruise control. Both the inside and outside of the SUV look a million bucks, fitted with the highest quality materials and sporting a design that has meticulous consideration and optimises internal space profoundly. In making this a supreme off-road SUV, Lexus has sacrificed nothing, so neither should you.
