Lexus LX500d 3.3DT – 2025 Australia

Exterior:
The 2025 Lexus LX500d 3.3DT is a commanding luxury SUV that showcases Lexus’ latest design evolution. The spindle grille is larger and more pronounced, flanked by sharp triple-beam LED headlights and a sculpted body that emphasizes both presence and elegance. 22-inch alloy wheels, chrome detailing, and a high beltline convey a sense of prestige, while integrated roof rails and adaptive lighting reflect its functionality and modernity.

Performance and Efficiency:
This model is powered by a 3.3-liter twin-turbocharged V6 diesel engine, delivering 305 horsepower (227 kW) and 700 Nm of torque. The engine is mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission and full-time 4WD with Multi-Terrain Select and Crawl Control, making the LX500d capable on both paved roads and challenging off-road surfaces. Despite its size and capability, the diesel engine offers improved fuel efficiency over previous V8 variants, averaging around 8.9–9.5 L/100 km in mixed conditions.

Interior and Features:
Inside, the LX500d offers a 7-seat layout with premium leather upholstery, laser-cut wood trim, and a dual-screen infotainment setup. The 12.3-inch upper display handles navigation and camera functions, while the 7-inch lower screen manages climate and vehicle settings. Standard features include ventilated and heated front and second-row seats, a 14-speaker premium sound system, tri-zone climate control, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, head-up display, and a power tailgate. The second-row seats are power-folding, and the third row can be stowed for increased cargo space.

Technology and Safety:
The LX500d includes the Lexus Safety System+, featuring adaptive cruise control, lane tracing assist, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, parking support brake, 360-degree panoramic view camera, and pre-collision system with pedestrian and cyclist detection. The SUV’s advanced chassis and electronic aids contribute to both on-road comfort and off-road assurance, offering luxury without compromise in any terrain.
