“I would advise that the Levinson upgrade may not be worth the cost and to ask specific questions regarding the estimated gas mileage as I am not even close to the numbers provided. Other than these two items, the vehicle is a gem.”
2022 Lexus LX: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2022 Lexus LX is a full redesign and the first year of the fourth generation. It replaces the LX 570 with the LX 600, built on a new platform and led by a twin-turbo V6.
About the 2022 Lexus LX
4th generation, first year of the all-new 2022 redesign.
Lexus positions the LX as its full-size flagship SUV for buyers who want genuine off-road hardware and long-distance comfort in the same vehicle. Its core appeal is the mix: truck-based durability, standard 4WD, towing ability, and terrain tech, paired with a quiet cabin, upscale materials, and human-centered technology. Against softer luxury SUVs, the LX leans on Land Cruiser roots and real trail capability while still presenting itself as a high-end road-trip and family flagship.
The LX 600 range spans a five-seat base model, three-row Premium and Luxury versions, and two new specialty grades. F SPORT focuses on sharper road handling and sportier styling, while the four-seat Ultra Luxury emphasizes rear-passenger comfort with reclining captain's chairs, massage, an ottoman, and rear entertainment screens.
What changed, by category
Powertrain
A 409-hp twin-turbo 3.5-liter V6 and 10-speed automatic replace the LX 570's 5.7-liter V8 and 8-speed automatic.
Structural
The new GA-F body-on-frame platform increases rigidity, while the redesigned LX weighs about 441 pounds less than the prior LX 570.
Styling
The fourth-generation body and cabin are new. The first F SPORT grade adds a mesh grille, unique rear bumper, 22-inch forged wheels, and sport-themed interior details.
Tech
A dual-screen touchscreen system is standard, pairing a 12.3-inch main screen with a 7-inch lower vehicle-control display.
Safety
Lexus Safety System+ 2.5, the driver-assistance suite, is standard throughout the redesigned lineup.
