Lexus has unveiled the 2026 Lexus LX lineup, featuring minor changes, which is essentially a carryover model. The flagship SUV is offered in five grades: Premium, F SPORT Handling, Luxury, Ultra Luxury, and Overtrail. Available exclusively on the LX 700h F SPORT Handling models is the F SPORT Appearance package, which adds color-keyed lower front and rear bumper accents, black outside mirror covers, black rear spoiler winglets, and color-keyed running boards. We will be discussing the full specifications, release date, MSRP, and price of the 2026 Lexus LX 600 and LX 700h in Nigeria.
It would be recalled that the LX 700h was unveiled in 2024 ahead of the 2025 model year. For the 2026 model year, nothing significant changed, just some minor changes to the model.

Overtrail grade
The Overtrail grade offers additional features and equipment for top-notch exploration. On the outside, the model is finished with Earth, while the inside is finished in Black or Stone Brown semi-aniline leather trim on seats.
Additionally, the package also adds front and rear locking differentials, a 2400W AC inverter, a front skid plate, and off-road all-weather floor-liners. Other features include 33-inch All-Terrain tires fitted in 18-inch wheels, and an appearance package featuring matte gray grille, black door handles, dark gray roof rails, dark chrome finished window and bumper trim, and black overfenders.
The GA-F Platform
Both grades – LX 600 and LX 700h sit on the GA-F Platform, which was introduced alongside the generation in 2022. A three-crossframe is used on the LX 700h to accommodate the weight and extended length. Underneath the platform has also been modified to make space for the large hybrid main battery.
LX 700h powertrain
The hybrid variant of the Lexus LX is powered by a combination of a turbocharged 3.4-liter V6 engine and electric motors delivering a combined power output of 457 horsepower and torque of 583 lb-ft. Power generated by the hybrid system is sent to the wheels by a 10-speed Direct Shift Automatic Transmission, the same transmission as on the LX 600. Fuel economy has also been greatly increased to 20 MPG. The nickel-metal hydride battery is located under the luggage compartment for a row configuration, and beneath the third row for a three-row configuration.
All grades come with both an alternator and a starter as standard, making the LX 700h the first Lexus hybrid to feature both. The hybrid battery is enclosed in a waterproof tray divided into upper and lower sections. This helps prevent water from damaging the battery. In the event that water enters the tray, a water sensor will detect it and notify the driver through a meter display.
LX 600 powertrain
The 2026 Lexus LX 600 carried over its powertrain from its predecessor. All grades are powered by the powerful 3.4-liter V6 twin turbo gasoline engine (V35A-FTS engine) delivering an output of 409 horsepower and maximum torque output of 479 lb-ft. Power generated by the engine is sent to the wheels by a 10-speed Direct Shift Automatic Transmission.
Top-notch performance
The Lexus LX lineup offers an uncompromised blend of luxury, power, and rugged capability. Specially designed for off-road activities, featuring the Torsen limited-slip locking center differential as standard. This system splits the engine’s power 50:50 to help provide exceptional control in low-grip situations and help prevent excess wheel spin.
The Overtrail grade on the LX 700h adds an electronically controlled front and rear locking differential, which enables the driver to lock as needed to improve the vehicle’s wheel stability and traction over rough terrain.
Standard performance features on the 2026 Lexus LX lineup include Active Height Control (AHC) and Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS), Multi-Terrain Select (MTS), Multi-Terrain Monitor (MTM), and Electric Power Steering (EPS) and Electronically Controlled Brake (ECB). Others include Crawl Control with Turn Assist, Downhill Assist Control, and Drive Mode Select.
Exterior design of the 2026 Lexus LX
The exterior design of the 2026 Lexus LX features a sophisticated design. On the front, the A-pillars are pulled rearward to create a cab-forward design. For its spindle grille, a three-dimensional shape comprised of seven sets of floating bars creates a seamless and frame-free structure.
All grades feature L-shaped clearance lamps (with daytime running lamp function) standard.
The side portrays a strong sense of unity and mass, with a thick, horizontal torso running the entirety of the profile, blending through to the muscular rear wheel arches. All grades come with a full-size spare tire.
The rear is characterized by a combination of an L-shape and a continuous axial flow from the front to the shoulders and then to the rear silhouette.
Seven exterior color options are available on the model, including Eminent White Pearl, Atomic Silver, Manganese Luster, Nori Green Pearl, Caviar, Ultra White, and Earth.
F SPORT Handling
The F SPORT Handling grade is available for customers who desire a more sportier look and feel. Available styling features on the F SPORT Handling grade include exclusive 22-inch forged aluminum wheels and an F mesh design spindle grille with jet black chrome grille frame.
Performance has also been improved, thanks to the standard-tuned front and rear performance dampers, a Torsen LSD, and a rear stabilizer. The EPS and AVS have also been specially tuned to offer performance-focused response and handling stability.
Interior design of the 2026 Lexus LX
On the inside, both grades are similar, delivering refined comfort and luxury. Customers are greeted by the driver-focused cockpit design, which brings the essential controls and information within the driver’s reach and field of vision.
Five massage options are available on the 2026 Lexus LX lineup for the driver and front passenger seats when equipped with semi-aniline leather trim. Power fold-flat third row seating and automated seating configurations are available on the model. All grades come with a 60:40 split-folding second row rear seat as standard.
Customers who opt for the LX 700h also get a unique shelf system that has been added to the cargo space. For more convenience in the cabin, a center console cool box and rear manual sunshades have also been added to the model as standard.
The hybrid grade is also equipped with a waterproof AC inverter positioned under the center console. This allows for an external power supply of up to 2400W. The LX 600 comes standard with a power supply of 120V/100W in the rear deck. All grades come with USB Type-C power outlets at the rear of the center console and in the rear deck to enhance convenience.
All grades come standard with a 10-speaker premium surround system; a 25-speaker Mark Levinson Surround Sound system is available as an option.
Interior color options

Four interior trim finishes are also available on the model, including Brown Open-Pore Wood, Black Open-Pore Wood, Hadori Aluminum, and Takanoha Wood.
F SPORT Handling
The F SPORT handling grades come with a variety of custom interior features, including a heated steering wheel and shifter wrapped in textured genuine leather and an exclusive F SPORT emblem. All grades also come standard with F SPORT crafted seats and embossed headrests for enhanced hold against lateral G-forces.
Technology and convenience features
The 2026 is packed with a variety of technology features for improved comfort and luxury. All grades are equipped with a 19.3-inch display, comprising of 12.3-inch high-definition upper touchscreen and a 7-inch lower touchscreen. These displays provide easy-to-use controls and clear information to the driver and front-seat passenger. Both display features glass screens with high-adhesion, anti-reflective coating to deliver a vivid display. A center knob located below the display controls the power on/ off and volume. The 7-inch lower screen displays the climate control and MTS.
Other technologies on the model include Cloud Navigation, Intelligent Assistant, Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, and Remote Connect. Others include Traffic Jam Assist, Safety Connect, Service Connect, Front Cross-Traffic Alert, Head-Up Display, Advanced Park with Remote Park, and Safe Exit Alert.
