The Lexus LX 500d is the flagship "King of SUVs" in India, powered by a high-performance 3.3-liter V6 twin-turbocharged diesel engine. This robust powertrain generates 304 bhp and a massive 700 Nm of torque, ensuring effortless power delivery whether cruising on highways or tackling demanding off-road trails. The engine is mated to a 10-speed Direct Shift automatic transmission that provides smooth, rapid gear changes and optimized fuel efficiency. The 2026 model year also sees the introduction of the 'Overtrail' variant, specifically tuned for enhanced off-road prowess with specialized equipment and a rugged aesthetic.
The driving experience is defined by the advanced Full-Time All-Wheel Drive system and Multi-Terrain Select, which allows the driver to choose between various modes like Dirt, Sand, Mud, Deep Snow, and Rock. The LX features an Electronically Controlled Brake (ECB) system and Active Height Control (AHC) suspension, which can adjust the vehicle's height depending on the driving environment. Despite its gargantuan size, the LX can sprint from 0 to 100 kmph in just 8 seconds, offering a level of refinement and power that few luxury off-roaders can match.
