The all-new Lexus LX600, the latest version of the iconic “off-road luxury aircraft,” has made its way to Vietnam through private importation, joining the officially imported vehicles. It swiftly caters to the needs of high-class customers, while also diversifying the luxury car market.
The Lexus LX has always reigned supreme in the realm of luxury SUVs, serving as the transportation of choice for prominent figures such as directors and chairmen. Its limited quantity, high-quality equipment, luxurious comfort, and the weight of the Lexus brand combined with the reliability of Toyota have endeared the Lexus LX to its customers. The Lexus LX600 2023 builds upon these values and further enhances its unrivaled position.
Positioned as the premium sibling of the Land Cruiser, the new Lexus LX600 carries on the essence of Toyota’s latest generation of full-size SUVs. It is built on the all-new lightweight and sturdy GA-F structure.
In terms of overall dimensions, the LX600 commands a more imposing presence compared to its LX570 counterpart. It measures 5,100 x 1,990 x 1,865 mm (LxWxH), with a wheelbase of 2,850 mm. With a standard ground clearance of 205 mm, it also boasts the ability to raise and lower the suspension.
The lowered engine position alters the vehicle’s center of gravity, resulting in improved stability during operation. The LX600 features an advanced air suspension system with four adjustable levels tailored to specific driving conditions, facilitating water fording of up to 800mm without the need for a dedicated snorkel.
The 2023 Lexus LX600 undergoes a complete transformation in terms of design, exuding a modern aesthetic. The signature spindle grille remains at the heart of the front end but undergoes resizing, shedding the chrome frame in favor of a modern and striking frameless design.
Intelligent BladeScan technology hallmarks the LED headlight system, which is divided into multiple lighting projectors, granting the “eyes” of the Lexus LX600 a vibrant appearance. Just below, the demi LED strip lights add further flair.
The LX600’s body showcases solidity through its sharp lines and imposing presence along the sides. The wheel arches are designed to protrude outward, emphasizing the SUV’s stability. The modern and elegant design of the 22-inch multi-spoke alloy wheels further elevates its stance, epitomizing luxury.
At the rear, a harmonious design awaits, featuring minimalist arrangement of details. The LED brake lights on both sides connect via a long LED strip that runs horizontally across the tailgate. Combined with the concealed design of the exhaust pipes, the LX600 exudes a contemporary allure.
In Vietnam, the Lexus LX600 2023 debuts with a VIP version catering to four passengers. This configuration focuses on delivering convenience and comfort to the two rear passengers.
The armrest between the rear seats comes equipped with a customizable display for air conditioning, entertainment, and adjustable seat sliding and reclining, accompanied by cooling, heating, and ventilation capabilities.
The elegantly designed front armrest features beautiful diamond stitching. The space beneath it is cooled and acts as a mini-fridge accessible from both sides and the rear, ensuring convenience. The rear armrest also offers ample beverage storage space, rivalling that of the front.
Behind the front seats, two large entertainment screens are integrated into the rear headrests. Notably, the passenger-side VIP seat features a footrest.
Above the dashboard, the LX600 houses a total of three large screens, consisting of a digital instrument cluster, a central entertainment screen, and an information display screen for vehicle operation and air conditioning settings just below. Additionally, a modern heads-up display is also present.
Furthermore, the Lexus LX600 2023 comes fully equipped with a fingerprint sensor capable of recognizing up to ten users with preset settings for mirror-seat-steering wheel positions, air conditioning temperature, and preferred entertainment channels.
As the flagship luxury SUV, the all-new Lexus LX600 carries forth extraordinary performance. It comes equipped with a new twin-turbocharged V6 3.5L engine configuration capable of delivering a maximum output of 509HP and a peak torque of 650Nm, surpassing the previous naturally aspirated V8 engine.
The Lexus LX600 takes safety to new heights with the second generation of the Lexus Safety System. It offers advanced safety features such as Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC), Lane Tracing Assist (LTA), Lane Departure Alert (LDA), Pre-Collision System (PCS), Adaptive High-beam System (AHS), Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA), Parking Support Brake (PKSB), and Blind Spot Monitor (BSM) with door-opening collision warning.
Furthermore, the Lexus LX600 2023 features an MTS automatic driving support system with six separate driving modes, reaffirming its unparalleled off-road capabilities.
In conclusion, the Lexus LX600 2023 is a comprehensive and remarkable upgrade boasting modern and agile design, luxurious amenities, enhanced driving performance, and advanced driving assistance technology.
In light of the global automotive industry grappling with the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, privately imported LX600 vehicles offer an astute choice for discerning customers seeking luxury in Vietnam.
