2025 LEXUS LX 700H ULTRA LUXURY AND OVERTRAIL SUV - MORE POWER AND LUXURY

EV Channels Review

The 2025 Lexus LX 700h represents Lexus's flagship SUV, now enhanced with a powerful 3.4L twin-turbo V6 hybrid powertrain. The reviewer highlights four distinct trim levels: Luxury, Ultra Luxury, Overtrail, and F-Sport, with the 700h designation exclusive to the hybrid models. The Ultra Luxury trim, tested extensively, is praised for its opulent interior featuring semi-aniline leather, exquisite Japanese wood accents, and a unique four-seat configuration with fully reclining, massaging captain's chairs. The Overtrail trim is presented as a more off-road-capable variant, boasting 33-inch tires and enhanced differentials. Key strengths noted include the premium materials, advanced technology like the dual-screen setup with Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, and thoughtful features such as the cool box center console. While the reviewer appreciates the luxury and comfort, particularly in the Ultra Luxury trim, they also acknowledge the vehicle's off-road capabilities, especially with the Overtrail's locking differentials and adjustable suspension. The hybrid powertrain delivers 457 horsepower and 583 lb-ft of torque, with a combined fuel economy of 20 MPG. The reviewer expresses a personal preference for the Ultra Luxury trim due to its ultimate comfort and luxury appointments, though notes its limited production. The pricing starts at $115,000 for the 700h, reaching up to $141,350 for the Ultra Luxury, positioning it against competitors like the Cadillac Escalade and BMW X7.
