2023 Lexus LX: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2023 Lexus LX is a light update rather than a redesign. The main change is a heated steering wheel made standard on every LX 600, with only a few trim-specific tweaks elsewhere.
About the 2023 Lexus LX
4th generation LX (2022-present), second year after the full redesign.
Lexus positions the LX as its flagship SUV for buyers who want both real go-anywhere hardware and a high-end cabin. Unlike many large luxury SUVs that focus mostly on pavement use, the LX keeps a truck-based 4WD foundation, strong towing ability, and trail-focused camera and terrain systems, while also delivering premium materials, quiet long-distance comfort, and a polished tech interface. Its core appeal is combining Lexus luxury with genuine rough-road credibility.
The 2023 range starts with a well-equipped five-seat LX 600, while Premium and Luxury are the family-focused seven-seat versions. F SPORT adds unique bodywork, 22-inch forged wheels and sport-tuned suspension. Ultra Luxury instead uses a four-seat layout with reclining and massaging rear chairs, an ottoman and dual rear screens.

“Amazing vehicle and you will love it, only thing I can say negative is the size of the gas tank. My Audi went 500 miles to empty and this is only 250.”
