LEXUS LX 600, MERCEDES EQ LINEUP, UPCOMING INLINE-6 MAZDA SUVS | EPISODE 15

EV Channels Review

The Out of Spec Podcast team discusses the newly unveiled 2022 Lexus LX 600, offering mixed reactions to its polarizing design. While the interior is praised for its significant luxury and technology upgrades, the exterior styling, particularly the large grille and the c-pillar/rear window treatment, draws criticism for being overly aggressive or visually compromised. Specific concerns were raised about the greenhouse size and beltline, with comparisons drawn to Range Rover's more elegant design language. Despite aesthetic critiques, the team acknowledges the LX 600's powerful twin-turbo V6 engine, improved performance, and potential for luxury off-roading, especially with the F-Sport trim and advanced suspension. The discussion also touches on the potential for a third row, rear entertainment, and advanced camera systems, though visibility from the rear seats is questioned. Overall, the LX 600 is seen as a significant step up in luxury and technology, but its bold styling may divide opinions.
