The Lexus LX has been refined for 2025, with the flagship SUV receiving a suite of updates including the introduction of the Overtrail variant.

Tailored for off-road performance, the five-seat Overtrail comes equipped with front and rear locking differentials; unique 18-inch matte grey alloy wheels wrapped in high-profile Toyo Open Country all-terrain tyres; and distinctive design elements including black treatment to the radiator grille, front and rear bumpers, door handles, wheelarches, outer mirrors and door window mouldings.

In addition to the trio of locking diffs, the LX Overtrail is equipped with a suite of off-road traction aids including Multi-Terrain Select, Downhill Assist Control, Crawl Control, a Multi-Terrain Monitor and Active Height Control.

Like the rest of the LX range, the Overtrail does not come cheap, priced at $182,300 for the diesel and $185,800 if petrol power is desired. The cheapest entry point into the range is with the LX Luxury seven-seater, which starts at $158,700 (diesel) or $162,200 (petrol). The line-up tops out with the LX Ultra Luxury at a whopping $220,950 (petrol only).

Prices have increased by between $2724 and $3324 across the range, excluding the newly introduced Overtrail, which was confirmed by Lexus earlier this year.

The Lexus LX remains powered by two twin-turbocharged V6 engines: a 227kW/700Nm 3.3-litre 500d diesel and a 305kW/650Nm 3.5-litre 600 petrol. Both are paired to a 10-speed auto and a full-time 4WD system. Both powertrains carry a 3500kg braked towing capacity.

Across the range, the outgoing eight-inch multi-information display has been replaced with a fully digital 12.3-inch unit. Wireless Android Auto now joins Apple CarPlay as a standard feature, as does the inclusion of a centre console cool box and an additional USB-C port, giving the burly SUV six in total.

As part of the update, the mid-tier Sport Luxury and LX F Sport grades now get driver and front passenger massaging seats and four-way adjustable headrests. The top-spec Ultra Luxury also gains a front wireless smartphone charger as standard.

Safety updates to the LX range include the expansion of the Lexus Safety System+ suite, which adds motorcyclist detection (day) and cyclist detection (day and night); autonomous emergency braking when crossing intersections; acceleration suppression at low speeds; safe exit assist; an emergency driving stop system; and a driver monitor camera.

The updated Lexus LX range is out now.
