Today, almost all Lexus cars have hybrid versions, but among the few exceptions was the large Lexus LX SUV. Now, this omission has been corrected - the company has recently introduced the Lexus LX 700h.
The basis is the version of the Lexus LX 600 with a 415-horsepower V6 gasoline turbo engine, to which an electric motor was added - it is installed between the internal combustion engine and a 10-speed automatic. Thus, the total power of the hybrid system was increased to 464 hp, which justifies the new Lexus LX 700h index. The hybrid system also includes a battery located in the trunk, a clutch kit for mechanical disengagement of the internal combustion engine and electric motor, on-board voltage converters, etc.
Along with the launch of the new Lexus LX 700h hybrid SUV, the Lexus LX model has been slightly updated: new seats, an expanded range of safety systems, and dual wireless charging. Finally, the Overtail version was added to the Lexus LX range, which combines a high level of equipment with improved off-road capabilities.
Sales of the new Lexus LX 700h will start soon - in late 2024 or early 2025, depending on the market.
