Lexus has launched the 2026 LX, which comes with a few minor updates.
The LX 700h F Sport Handling now offers an optional F Sport Appearance Package.
Prices have increased by $500, and customers can choose between two powertrains that deliver up to 457 hp.
While the Lexus LS is being discontinued, the flagship LX SUV is receiving several updates for 2026, with starting prices now at $107,950 after a $500 increase.
Since there were major updates last year, including a new hybrid engine and a rugged Overtrail trim, the changes for 2026 are relatively minor. However, the LX 700h F Sport Handling introduces a new F Sport Appearance Package.
The F Sport² features a two-tone design, adding body-colored accents to the running boards and bumpers, complemented by black mirrors and a rear spoiler with black winglets.
The only other modification seems to be a slightly revised color selection, now including Manganese Luster as an option for the Overtrail. This joins Atomic Silver, Caviar, Earth, Eminent White Pearl, Nori Green Pearl, and Ultra White.
Under the hood, the LX 600 is equipped with a well-known twin-turbo 3.4-liter V6 engine generating 409 hp (305 kW / 415 PS) and 479 lb-ft (649 Nm) of torque. It pairs with a ten-speed automatic transmission and a four-wheel drive system.
The LX 700h offers a hybrid powertrain that combines a twin-turbo 3.4-liter V6, a nickel-metal hydride battery, and a ten-speed automatic transmission with an integrated electric motor, boosting the output to 457 hp (341 kW / 463 PS) and 583 lb-ft (790 Nm) of torque. This increase in power reduces the 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) time from 6.9 seconds to 6.4 seconds.
However, those hoping for substantial fuel savings may be disappointed. The city fuel economy increases from 17 mpg to 19 mpg, while the highway rating remains unchanged at 22 mpg. Additionally, the combined fuel efficiency only improves slightly to 20 mpg.
