Exterior paint colours include the no-extra-cost 'Onyx' or 'Liquid Metal', 'White Nova' (F Sport models only), 'Sonic Quartz' (not available on F Sport models), 'Titanium', 'Graphite Black', and 'Khaki Metal' (on our test vehicle) – all of which incur an extra cost.
Standard features onboard the Lexus include a 12.3-inch multimedia touchscreen (with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and Bluetooth), a 25-speaker Mark Levinson sound system, heated and ventilated power-adjustable seats, woodgrain steering wheel trim, 8.0-inch multi-information display, quad-zone climate control, 7.0-inch touchscreen and separate control panel for rear passengers, multi-terrain monitor with panoramic view monitor, 20-inch alloy wheels, and much more.
The Lexus LX500d cabin is a tasteful mixture of woodgrain, 'hazel' leather accents, soft-touch surfaces, plush seating, and even comfortable arm-rests. It's reminiscent of its Toyota LAndCruiser twin but with a distinct Lexus flair.
The Lexus LX500d has a 3.3L V6 twin turbo-diesel engine, producing 227kW at 4000rpm and 700Nm between 1600-2600rpm.
It has a 10-speed automatic transmission and a four-wheel drive system.
The Lexus LX500d has seven seats: two in the front, three in the second row, and two seats in the third row. The first two rows of seating are plush but not so the third row.
The Lexus LX500d has a claimed 174L (VDA) of cargo space when seven seats are in use; 982L when five seats are being used; and 1871L when all seats are stowed away, except for the driver and front passenger.
The boot has a 220V power outlet.
The Lexus LX500d with the 3.3-litre turbo-diesel engine is capable of doing the 0-100km/h sprint in eight seconds.
The Lexus LX500d with the 3.3L V6 twin turbo-diesel engine has an official fuel consumption of 8.9L/100km on a combined cycle.
The LX500d has a 80-litre fuel tank so, according to that listed fuel-consumption figure, you could reasonably expect to get a driving range of about 898km or so.
