The new Lexus LX lineup is finally getting a hybrid option (with a six-figure price tag). So how much will it cost against its rivals?
When it first hit the market in 2022, the revamped Lexus LX 600 came with one powertrain and one powertrain only: a 3.4-liter twin-turbocharged V6. Its updated styling, fresh technology and more potent engine have been a welcome change, but we’ve been wondering — especially with the related Toyota Tundra and Sequoia’s hybrid additions — when the hybrid LX would make its arrival. Now, we know the LX 700h is just around the corner, and thanks to a recent release from Lexus, we know how much the LX and its hybrid variant will cost.
Fundamentally, the 2025 Lexus LX lineup still brings most of the same kit to the table as the past few model years. The LX 700h, however, actually gets the off-road Overtrail trim like its smaller GX stablemate. That means you get 457 horsepower and 583 lb-ft of torque from the hybrid powertrain, as well as front and rear locking differentials, more aggressive 33-inch all-terrain tires and more underbody protection.
The high-end Ultra Luxury trim is also exclusive to the LX 700h from this point forward, so you have to buy the hybrid if you still want that trim. Against the Overtrail’s $115,350 base price, the Ultra Luxury tops out the range at $141,350. Between those two trims, you can also pick up the Lexus-typical F Sport Handling trim for $117,850, or the LX 700h Luxury for $119,850.
Where does the LX stack up against the competition on price?
It’s obviously no secret that three-row luxury SUVs continue to get more expensive year-on-year. That said, the updated Lexus LX lineup, and the 700h in particular, falls about in the middle against its slate of competitors. It’s more expensive than all its competition with the starting position for the LX 600, but the LX 700h Ultra Luxury comes in less expensive than its German SUV rivals at the top end, as well as the utterly berserk Cadillac Escalade-V.
