Lexus unveils 2022 version of flagship LX – The National

Lexus has unveiled the new LX, the second model in what the manufacturer is calling its “next-generation” line-up. This latest arrival “embodies the brand's commitment to meeting the diversifying needs and lifestyles of customers”, the carmaker says.

The LX was first launched in 1996 and is seen as Lexus’s flagship SUV. To this end, the manufacturer has clearly spent some time on the new version, giving it a complete redesign. It is now about 200 kilograms lighter than its predecessor, much of that coming from the fact it has been built around a more slimline, digitally developed basic platform.

Reliability and durability were both watchwords when the new LX was being created, Lexus says. On the outside, it has been given a more assertive look, but the distinctive grille is still there, ensuring you know what’s following you if you see it looming in your rear-view mirror.
