10 Things to Know About the All-New 2025 Lexus LX 700h

The flagship Lexus SUV expands its capabilities for 2025 with the introduction of the first-ever LX 700h. This revolutionary addition to the lineup marks a significant milestone in the brand's electrification journey, bringing Lexus to 11 electrified options for Canadian customers. Combining uncompromising off-road performance with luxurious amenities, the LX 700h delivers the power and refinement expected from Lexus' premium SUV.

Building on a strong foundation established since 1995, the LX 700h elevates the driving experience with a hybrid powertrain that produces an impressive 457 horsepower and 583 lb-ft of torque. Whether tackling rough terrain or cruising through urban environments, this electrified SUV stands ready to exceed expectations with thoughtful design and advanced technology.

Powerful Hybrid Performance

The LX 700h features a sophisticated hybrid powertrain that pairs a twin-turbocharged 3.4-liter V6 engine with a powerful electric motor. This combination delivers substantial power while maintaining the capability to tow up to 8,000 pounds. The twin turbochargers provide steady, consistent acceleration for precise control both on and off-road.

Unlike previous Lexus hybrid systems, the LX 700h includes both an alternator and starter as standard components. This engineering choice ensures that if the hybrid system becomes inoperative, the vehicle can continue running on the engine alone, providing an additional layer of reliability during adventures far from home.

Enhanced Off-Road Capability

The LX 700h takes off-road performance to new heights by adding motor-driven power to the low range setting—a first for Lexus. This feature works with Multi-Terrain Select to enable motor-only driving in scenarios requiring precise throttle control, such as navigating rocky paths, dirt roads, or deep snow.

Standard equipment includes a Torsen limited slip locking center differential that splits engine power 50:50 for exceptional control in low-grip situations. For even more capability, the Overtrail+ grade adds electronically controlled front and rear locking differentials to improve wheel stability and traction over challenging terrain.

New Overtrail+ Grade

Part of Lexus' "Overtrail Project" initiative, the Overtrail+ grade is designed for customers who want to explore nature through refined adventures. Available exclusively on the LX 700h in either two or three-row configurations, this grade projects a tough, rugged persona while maintaining Lexus luxury.

Distinctive styling elements include a matte grey grille, black door handles, dark gray roof rails, and black overfenders. Inside, you'll find Black or Stone Brown semi-aniline leather trim with Stone Brown stitching and Black Open Pore wood accents. Performance features include 33-inch all-terrain tires mounted on 18-inch wheels and a front skid plate for added protection.

Practical Power Solutions

The LX 700h comes equipped with a waterproof 2,400W AC inverter positioned under the center console, allowing you to power external devices during outdoor excursions. Additional convenience features include USB Type-C power outlets at the rear of the center console and in the rear deck.

The hybrid battery placement has been carefully considered, positioned under the luggage compartment in two-row models and beneath the third-row seat in three-row configurations. This engineering choice maintains interior space while preserving the vehicle's departure angle for off-road performance.

Advanced Safety Technology

Every 2025 LX now comes standard with Lexus Safety System+ 3.0, providing comprehensive protection for all occupants. This suite includes Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection, All-speed Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, Lane Tracing Assist, and Road Sign Assist.

New features include Risk Avoidance Emergency Steer Assist, which provides steering torque during emergency maneuvers, and Left Turn Oncoming Vehicle Detection/Braking for additional protection at intersections. Safe Exit Alert helps prevent door opening when vehicles or bicycles are approaching from behind.

Refined Interior Comfort

The LX 700h interior exemplifies flagship luxury with a driver-focused cockpit design that places essential controls within easy reach. Five massage options for the driver and front passenger seats provide customized comfort during long journeys, with adjustable intensity levels.

A center console cool box and rear manual sunshades come standard on the LX 700h, while a unique shelf system with fold-flat capability maximizes cargo space utility. The electroshiftmatic system—a first for a Lexus off-road four-wheel drive vehicle—enhances ease of operation during maneuvers on rough terrain.

Premium Technology

A standard 12.3-inch high-definition upper touchscreen paired with an LX-exclusive 7-inch lower touchscreen provides intuitive control of vehicle systems. With an active Drive Connect subscription, cloud navigation integrates with Google points of interest for faster, more accurate search results and directions.

The Intelligent Assistant responds to voice commands with enhanced noise cancellation and seat detection for greater accuracy. Simply say "Hey Lexus" to control navigation, multimedia, and climate functions. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility allows seamless integration with your favorite mobile apps.

Advanced Suspension Systems

All LX models now feature standard Active Height Control and Adaptive Variable Suspension, ensuring an ideal balance between off-road capability and on-road comfort. This system provides improved grip, traction, and control while delivering a sense of security in all driving conditions.

The Multi-Terrain Select system lets you switch between high range (H4) and low range (L4) driving modes, optimizing power delivery, brake pressure, and suspension control according to terrain conditions. Crawl Control manages engine output and hydraulic braking pressure to reduce tire slippage and optimize chassis behavior on challenging surfaces.

Premium Audio Experience

The available 25-speaker Mark Levinson Premium Surround Sound system delivers exceptional audio quality throughout the cabin. Tuned specifically for the LX's interior dimensions, this system incorporates Quantum Logic Surround sound technology to provide balanced, stage-like audio to all passengers regardless of seating position.

Distinctive Exterior Design

The LX 700h maintains the bold presence expected of Lexus' flagship SUV while adding unique styling elements. The spindle grille features seven sets of floating bars in a three-dimensional, frame-free structure that enhances cooling performance for the twin-turbo engine.

L-shaped clearance lamps with daytime running light function provide a distinctive signature, while the side profile portrays strength with a horizontal torso running the length of the vehicle. Available in seven exterior colors including Earth, the LX 700h makes a striking impression whether parked at an upscale venue or traversing rough terrain.
