Reviews Summary

A 2021 Toyota Land Cruiser has a base price north of $85,000. Four paint colors, two leather choices, and a single factory option are available, aside from dealer-installed accessories such as carpeted floor mats. You're paying a luxury price, but you're not getting a luxury experience in return. And that's why the Land Cruiser is departing the U.S. market after the 2021 model year.

Reviews Summary

Launched in 1995, the original Lexus LX was one of the first luxury SUVs, competing with the Land Rover Range Rover and paving the way for modern rivals like the Cadillac Escalade, Lincoln Navigator, Infiniti QX80, BMW X7, Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class, and the revived Jeep Grand Wagoneer. But while all of those SUVs are fairly fresh designs, the LX hasn’t been redesigned in almost a decade.

So the fourth-generation 2022 Lexus LX 600 has been a long time coming. The redesign brings a new platform, updated infotainment and driver-assist tech, and a new twin-turbocharged V6 engine, among other things. Like all previous LX generations, it’s based on the Toyota Land Cruiser. Toyota isn’t bringing the latest Land Cruiser to the United States, however, so the new LX won’t have to deal with sibling rivalry anymore.

The 2022 Lexus LX 600 launches in base, Premium, F Sport, Luxury, and Ultra Luxury trim levels. We spent a few days with a range-topping LX Ultra Luxury to see if this once-revolutionary SUV is worth spending money on today.
