2023 Lexus LX 600 Premium

The 2023 Lexus LX 600 Premium edition brings together serious off-road capability and upscale refinement in one large luxury SUV. Under the hood, its twin-turbo 3.4-liter V6 cranks out 409 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission and full-time four-wheel-drive. Car and Driver+2The Drive+2 Its body-on-frame architecture derives from the same rugged fundamentals as the Toyota Land Cruiser, giving it an impressive capability in towing and terrain: for instance, towing ratings up to 8,000 pounds in many trims. The Drive+1 Yet despite that heavy-duty platform, the Premium trim surprises with a ride that many find remarkably smooth for its class—with adjustable air suspension helping soak up rough surfaces.

Inside, the LX 600 Premium is wrapped in high-grade materials and packed with luxury appointments. In the Premium trim you’ll typically find comforts such as cooled and heated front seats, heated second-row seats, a head-up display, and a hands-free power liftgate. Edmunds+1 The cabin is built with precision—leather upholstery, sophisticated wood and metal trim, and attention to fine detail illustrate Lexus’s hallmark quality. On the downside, while the third row is available in this trim, it’s tighter than some rivals, and the floating, somewhat soft ride (combined with the large 22-inch wheels) may come off as “floaty” to those accustomed to more firm luxury SUVs. Edmunds+1 If you want a combination of opulence and real capability, the 2023 LX 600 Premium makes a compelling case—so long as you accept that it leans more on rugged luxury than on sporty, razor-sharp driving dynamics.
