The wait is about to end. Lexus has confirmed that everything is ready for the debut of its long-awaited 4×4 vehicle. The next generation Lexus LX is just around the corner. The presentation date has been officially announced at the same time that the Japanese firm has shown a very interesting video advance in which it is glimpsed what the renewed model will be like.
The new LX will be presented next Wednesday, October 13, 2021 Through a digital event that can be followed live through a streaming that the brand will carry out on the YouTube platform. Beyond confirming the presentation date and the brief video, Lexus has not given specific details about the new generation. Now, there are some details that are worth highlighting since they reveal some keys.
Next-gen Lexus LX is ready for debut
Although the video lasts less than 20 seconds, at certain times the new LX is partially shown, being able to appreciate how it will be, to a large extent, the side and the rear of the new generation. The rear area is the one that is shown much more clearly. In addition, the badge that refers to the model confirms a very relevant fact.
The badge LX 600
confirms that under the hood there will be no electrified mechanics. It was something that had been commented on in previous information and it has finally been confirmed. But does this mean that Lexus is not planning a hybrid version (HEV)? At this point it is important to remember some reports from Japan in which it is ensured that Lexus has opened the door to offer an electrified version, a hypothetical Lexus LX 750h. However, in the short term, it is something that seems very complicated.
There are still quite a few unknowns about what engine will be under the hood. The new Toyota Land Cruiser is powered, among other options, by a 3.5-liter V6 biturbo engine which replaced the previous V8 block. On the one hand, there is speculation about the possibility that they share mechanics, but the door has also been left open to maintaining a V8 engine in order to differentiate themselves from the Toyota model.
The new Lexus LX will arrive in dealerships in 2022
On the other hand, and beyond the mechanical section, referring again to the image of the rear of the new LX, it is worth noting the design adopted by the rear lights. A few light groups that are attached, which will help to emphasize the feeling of width of the vehicle. The tailgate will have large dimensions.
When will it hit the market? The commercial launch of the new LX is set for the first half of 2022. As with the outgoing model that can still be found in North American dealerships, Lexus has no plans to bring it to Europe.
