What’s New for the 2018 Lexus LX?

For 2018, the Lexus LX is just about the same as previous model years, except for the addition of a two-row version that eliminates the back-most row of seats for better cargo space.

2018 Lexus LX Exterior

The 2018 Lexus LX is the brand’s largest SUV, and is designed to cover driver needs on- and off-road using big 20- or 21-inch wheels. Style-wise, the LX prominently features the brand’s spindle grille, although the body style is boxier than in the smaller vehicles to offer the maximum interior space.

2018 Lexus LX Efficiency

Predictably, fuel efficiency is not the 2018 Lexus LX’s strong suit. It delivers 13 mpg in the city and 18 mpg on the highway, for a combined 15 mpg. To compensate, the LX features a huge 24.6-gallon fuel tank, giving the SUV a total range of about 370 miles in combined driving.

2018 Lexus LX Interior

The Lexus LX benefits from Lexus’ interior luxuries, and so predictably is filled with premium features for the up to eight passengers (although this goes to five on the two-row version). A few highlights include a quad-zone climate control system, including a smog sensor, and a wide variety of infotainment features. Optional features are even more interesting (although not that numerous—most luxury features on the LX website are standard), including a center-console cool box and perforated leather interior trim.
