Lexus LX700h Hybrid vs. LX600: What’s the Difference?

The Lexus LX SUV has been upgraded for 2025, adding a hybrid option to its lineup. The previous model, powered by a twin-turbo V6 engine, is now joined by the LX700h hybrid. This hybrid powertrain is similar to the one used in Toyota's Tundra and Sequoia, which improves both fuel efficiency and power output. Until now, the LX only featured the non-hybrid LX600 model, but the new LX700h provides a significant performance boost.

LX700h Hybrid Introduction
The LX700h hybrid utilizes the same 3.4-liter twin-turbo V6 as the LX600 but adds an electric motor between the engine and transmission. It also includes a nickel-metal hydride battery under the rear floor. This setup increases power from 409 horsepower in the LX600 to 457 horsepower in the LX700h, with torque rising to 583 lb-ft. Despite these changes, Lexus ensures that the new crossbeam for the spare tire and battery placement doesn’t affect off-road performance.

Power and Efficiency
Although the hybrid powertrain in the Toyota Tundra and Sequoia provides slightly lower horsepower, Lexus offers a more powerful setup for the LX700h due to premium fuel. The LX700h's fuel efficiency rises modestly from 19 mpg to 20 mpg, while still maintaining an impressive towing capacity of 8,000 pounds.

Overtrail Trim Addition
Lexus is also introducing an Overtrail trim for off-road enthusiasts. This trim includes features like front and rear locking differentials, 33-inch all-terrain tires, and 18-inch wheels. The Overtrail will be available with or without a third-row seat, adding more versatility to the LX lineup.

More to Come
Lexus has yet to release pricing details for the 2025 LX family or confirm which trims will feature the LX700h hybrid. Stay tuned for more updates and photos of the Overtrail model.
