2025 LEXUS LX 700H: THIS FLAGSHIP SUV GAINS MORE POWER & LUXURY THAN EVER! (+ NEW OVERTRAIL)

EV Channels Review

The 2025 Lexus LX 700h receives a significant powertrain upgrade with its new hybrid system, delivering a substantial increase in horsepower and torque over the previous LX 600. The reviewer highlights the addition of standard massaging front seats, a digital gauge cluster, and the upgraded Lexus Safety Suite 3.0 as key interior improvements. While the Overtrail trim is noted for its off-road focus with 18-inch wheels and 33-inch all-terrain tires, the Luxury trim tested features 22-inch alloys. The reviewer points out that the third-row legroom is compromised, and cargo space behind the third row is limited (7 cubic feet), especially compared to competitors like the Cadillac Escalade. The hybrid battery placement also creates a noticeable hump in the cargo area, reducing overall capacity. Despite these drawbacks, the LX 700h is praised for its robust Land Cruiser platform, standard four-wheel drive, and excellent predicted resale value and reliability, positioning it as a strong, albeit less spacious, contender in the luxury full-size SUV segment.
