2024 Lexus LX pricing and specs confirmed: Sports Luxury adds seven-seat option to mount more aggressive luxury challenge against Audi Q7, BMW X7, Mercedes GLS and Toyota LandCruiser 300 Series Sahara

Full family-and-friends accommodation is now offered in the previously five-seat only LX Sports Luxury.

Lexus has added a third-row option to bring seven-seat capacity to Sports Luxury variants of its full-size LX SUV.

Already available as a seven-seater in entry-level versions of the LX 500d and LX 600, the new three-row option means large family-and-friends accommodation is now offered in the previously five-seat-only Sports Luxury grade.

Available now, the seven-seat LX 500d Sports Luxury is priced at $176,661, plus on-road costs, with the LX 600 Sports Luxury weighing in at $181,361 before on-roads.

The third row is auto-folding and brings full-length curtain airbags and USB-C ports on either side of the (two) additional seats.

Relative to the five-seat Sports Luxury, the seven-seat (petrol) LX 600 grade deletes the existing cargo space cover, while soft-close doors and a 30-litre auxiliary fuel tank are deleted from the (diesel) LX 500d’s standard specification.

The Lexus LX 600 is powered by a 3.5-litre twin-turbo petrol V6 producing 305kW/650Nm, while a 227kW/700Nm 3.3-litre twin-turbo diesel V6 resides under the LX 500d’s bonnet.

Both engines send drive to all four wheels via a 10-speed automatic transmission, with each offering low-range running and a 3500kg (braked trailer) towing capacity.

The flagship LX Ultra Luxury is a four-seater based on the turbo-petrol LX 600 only.

As a small boy James often sat on a lounge with three shoes in front of him, a ruler between the cushions, and a circular drinks tray in his hands. He would then play ‘drivings’, happily heading to destinations unknown for hours on end. He’s since owned many cars, raced a few, and driven (literally) thousands of them at all points of the globe. He’s steered around and across Australia multiple times, spent time as an advanced driving instructor, and had the opportunity to experience rare and valuable classics here and overseas. His time in motoring journalism has included stints at national and international titles including Motor, Wheels and TopGear, and when asked to nominate a career highlight, James says interviewing industry legend Gordon Murray, in the paddock at the 1989 Australian Formula One Grand Prix was amazing, especially as Murray waived away a hovering Ayrton Senna to complete the conversation. As Deputy Editor, James manages everything from sub-editing to back-end content, while creating written and video product reviews, as well as the weekly 'Tools in the Shed' podcast.'
