Published:

Lexus Australia has added the Overtrail to its local LX range, with the off-road focused variant arriving at the same price as the road-oriented F Sport.

Prices across the LX lineup have risen, thanks to the addition of autonomous emergency braking with motorcycle and bicycle detection, cross-traffic intervention, and low-speed activation.

Safe exit assist, driver monitoring and an emergency stop system are also now standard across the range.

LX F Sport

Like the LandCruiser 300 Series, the LX has now stepped up to a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster across all grades, a big step up from the 8.0-inch screen previously available.

Additional equipment changes include wireless Android Auto (joining the existing wireless Apple CarPlay), six USB-C ports, soft-close doors and a centre console cool box.

Buyers of the base LX Luxury can opt for an Enhancement Pack, which adds 22-inch alloy wheels, a moon roof and kick sensor for its powered tailgate.

LX Ultra Luxury

It’s this spec which the Overtrail is based on, though it moves down to 18-inch matte grey alloy wheels, shod in Toyo Open Country all-terrain tyres, which combined with front and rear locking differentials give the LX even more grip on slippery surfaces.

The LX Overtrail follows in the footsteps of its smaller GX Overtrail sibling, with a black grille, front and rear bumpers, door handles, wheel-arches, outer mirrors and door window mouldings.

Inside, its seats feature premium leather accents with Monolith colour scheme and Sumi Ash black ornamentation.

Changes to the LX Sports Luxury and LX F Sport are minor, with massaging front seats which feature four-way power-adjustable head restraints.

At the top of the list, the LX Ultra Luxury has gained a wireless smartphone charger at the front.

A choice of two engines are available across the Lexus LX range.

The LX500d (available in every guise bar Ultra Luxury) is powered by a twin-turbo 3.3-litre V6 diesel engine, capable of producing 227kW and 700Nm.

The LX600 meanwhile features a twin-turbo 3.4-litre V6 petrol with up to 305kW and 650Nm.

Both engines are mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission, a full-time all-wheel drive system and low-range transfer case.

All variants have a braked towing capacity of 3500kg, matching the LandCruiser 300 Series and Nissan Patrol.
