2025 Lexus LX 500d: What’s new?

The new Lexus LX 500d retains its bold stance and the signature chrome grille. Flanking the unique grille on either side are L-shaped LED headlamps. The air intakes are stacked vertically on the lower part of the front end. The SUV rests on 22-inch alloys. The LED tail lamps at the back are connected by a light bar. The Overtrail variant of the SUV gets a black radiator grille and matte grey aluminium wheels. Other elements like fog lamp cover, roof rails, door moldings, wheel arch moldings, door handles, and outer mirrors are blacked out too.

This engine produces a maximum power output of 305hp and 700Nm of torque. It is mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission. The SUV is not available in a petrol powertrain.
