2022 Lexus LX 600 Ultra Luxury
The LX’s redesign brings much-needed modernity to this uncompromising classic SUV, while retaining the tough yet luxurious personality that has long been a trademark of the LX. Fuel efficiency is also improved, although some of its competitors are more comfortable on the go and offer better cargo space. The vehicle has been discontinued in North America in 2022. With the expansion of the LX lineup, Lexus hopes to attract Land Cruiser buyers as well as buyers of other premium large SUVs.
John Biel:
2022 Lexus LX 600 Ultra Luxury
The Ultra Luxury is a brand new redesigned 2022 Lexus LX 600 series, and it looks like privacy is something owners have to pay for it. Fitted with a large dashboard at the rear, the Ultra Lux seats only four. It’s a sort of “personal luxury” SUV.
Those four seats are very comfortable and smooth. However, a wide front panel promotes something of a synthetic perception. Headroom is generous in both rows, but legroom in the rear isn’t as spacious as you’d expect in a large car.
Storage options for personal items are varied. Space is limited in the segmented glovebox but the front control box is large enough to hold six 1-litre bottles—great because in the Ultra Luxury, it’s a cooler to keep them cold. The door pockets have medium sized bottle holders. Meanwhile, the rear panel has a small covered storage compartment and its own wireless charger. There’s only one hard seat bag, this one behind the driver’s seat, but that’s because a bench is built into the back of the passenger seat for the convenience of the right rear occupants who can recline. . (“It’s good to be a monarch,” you would think riding a horse back there.) Cup holders are found in both consoles — exposed to the front but concealed to the back.
The driving information display is informative and easy to read. Graphics change a bit with driving mode. Going against the CinemaScope widescreen trend going on in the industry, the LX uses two large screens, one larger than the other. The top section is a touchscreen for audio, map navigation, surround view, etc. Sound is easy to adjust and program — especially for Lexus — and has a physical power/volume knob. . The climate control is on the bottom display with function buttons and a repetitive push lever to set the temperature. There are separate rotating dials for drive modes and gear selection.
Test drive: 2022 Jeep Wagoneer Series II
2022 Lexus LX 600 Ultra Luxury
The LX’s new turbocharged V6 delivers convincing power to the full-size SUV, and it operates quite quietly. Smooth transmission operation. With this Powerteam, your reviewer averaged 18.55 mpg over a 122.6-mile period made up of 67% city driving.
The steering feels a bit numb in “Comfort” or “Normal” driving modes and a bit firm in “Sport” and “Sport S” modes. There’s not much glaring change in cruise/handling between Sport modes. Brakes feel a bit spongy when pushed hard, causing a bit more “panic” at the “panic stop”.
