Currently in its fourth generation, the new Lexus LX is essentially the more opulent sister model to the new Toyota Land Cruiser LC300, which has also made its official debut in India at the motor show. The SUV is powered by a 3.3-litre twin-turbo V6 diesel engine that makes 304 bhp and 700 Nm of torque. The unit is paired with a 10-speed automatic gearbox sending power to all four wheels. The LX 500d also gets adaptive suspension as standard with active height control.
Visually, the boxy and upright proportions of previous generation models is retained while up front it gets a new iteration of the Lexus spindle grille flanked by sleek Led projector headlamps. The heavily sculpted bonnet and prominent squared-out wheel arches add ruggedness to the overall design with the rear being characterised by LED tail-lamps connected by a lightbar and chunky rear bumper. Rounding out the design are 22-inch alloy wheels.
