Engine Displacement: 3,445 cc
The Lexus LX 600 and LX 700h utilize a 3.5-litre V6 twin-turbocharged engine (V35A-FTS). This engine replaces the previous-generation V8, offering significantly higher torque at lower RPMs and better thermal efficiency. In the 700h model, this engine is augmented by an electric motor positioned between the engine and the 10-speed transmission, creating a full hybrid system designed for both fuel efficiency and extreme off-road torque.
Max Power: 409 bhp (LX 600) / 457 bhp (LX 700h)
The standard twin-turbo LX 600 produces a robust 409 bhp. However, the all-new LX 700h Hybrid increases the total system output to 457 bhp. This power is managed by a sophisticated 10-speed Direct Shift automatic transmission that ensures a smooth, linear power delivery suitable for a flagship luxury SUV.
Max Torque: 650 Nm (LX 600) / 790 Nm (LX 700h)
Torque is where the LX truly excels. The LX 600 generates 650 Nm of peak torque, while the hybrid system in the LX 700h pushes this to a staggering 790 Nm. This high torque capacity is critical for the vehicle's 8,000-pound towing rating and its ability to navigate steep, rocky terrain with minimal engine strain.
0-100 km/h: 6.5 - 7.0 Seconds
Despite its massive size and kerb weight exceeding 2,600 kg, the LX is surprisingly quick. The LX 700h can reach 100 km/h in approximately 6.5 seconds, while the LX 600 follows closely at 7.0 seconds. This performance is aided by the lightweight GA-F global architecture platform, which reduced vehicle weight by 200 kg compared to the LX 570.
