GA-F Platform
The 2024 Lexus LX 600 builds on the GA-F platform introduced in 2022, the platform increased body rigidity to attain a smooth composure and superior comfort level. A predictable, balanced comportment during turning, acceleration, and deceleration maneuvers, plus improved stability when driving off-road has been on the model, thanks to the platform.
At the front is the high-mounted double wishbone suspension, suspension geometry, and optimized coil springs that offer both excellent vehicle stability and ride comfort. The suspension stroke, which is an important factor for off-road driving performance, is made sufficiently long with 100 mm/3.93 in. of bound and 145 mm/5.7 in. of rebound to help achieve both exceptional on and off-road driving performance.
Engine, transmission, and performance
Standard across all grades the 3.4-liter V6 twin-turbo gasoline engine (V35A-FTS engine) generates an output of 409 hp and maximum 479 lb-ft of torque at about 3,600 rpm. The high torque output makes it easier to handle not only during on-road driving but also during off-road driving.
The engine is mated to a Direct Shift 10-speed automatic transmission to produce a smooth start that only a torque converter can provide, as well as a manual transmission-like direct acceleration by activating lockup in almost its entire range of operation.
Underneath the luxury SUV is an oil pan guard installed to the lower body of the automatic transmission to reduce the risk of oil pan damage when conquering rocky roads.
On-road performance
Comfort and performance have been improved on the grade with the high-torque twin-turbocharged engine, Electronically Controlled Brake (ECB), and Electric Power steering (EPS). The Active Height Control (AHC) system and Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS) aid in providing improved grip, traction, and control as well as a sense of strength and security.
ACTIVE HEIGHT CONTROL (AHC) SUSPENSION AND ADAPTIVE VARIABLE SUSPENSION (AVS)
The AHC suspension is designed to allow the ride height to be adjusted according to the driving environment. Three settings for vehicle height adjustment are available on the grade, they include (Normal, Hi1, and Hi2) and a Low setting for passenger ingress and egress.
ELECTRIC POWER STEERING (EPS) AND ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED BRAKE (ECB)
Electric Power Steering (EPS) adopts the motor and reduction gear instead of conventional hydraulics to enable subtle turning. It also provides a light steering sensation at low speeds, such as when driving off-road, and full steering weightiness at high speeds. The driver’s burden is reduced at low speeds by the light steering sensation, and at high speeds, a moderate steering force provides a driving experience.
The electronically controlled Brake system employs a sensor to detect the degree of brake pedal depression and create braking force with the hydraulic brakes for more linear braking characteristics.
Rear Torsen Limited Slip Differential (LSD) Performance and wheel
22-inch forged aluminum wheels are available in certain grades for enhanced on-road performance. For the 2024 model year, Torsen LSD is exclusive to the F SPORT handing grade. The system is employed to ensure track performance of the rear tires. It optimally distributes the driving force according to the load on the rear left and right wheels when accelerating during a turn to achieve a high level of control.
Multi-Terrain Select (MTS)
Also standard on the 2024 Lexus LX 600 is the Multi-Terrain Select which allows the driver to select from six modes – Auto, Dirt, Sand, Mud, Deep Snow, and Rock – to support off-road driving conditions. In addition to conventional brake hydraulics, the drive power and suspension are integrated and controlled for optimization according to the selected mode, making it possible to match driving performance to road conditions.
Crawl Control
The Crawl Control is engaged when the SUV is in low range to allow LX to move forward or in reverse at one of five driver-selected low-speed settings: LO, MIDL, MID, MIDH, and HIGH. Crawl Control intuitively orchestrates the engagement and disengagement of engine output and hydraulic braking pressure to help reduce tire slippage and optimize chassis behavior.
Downhill Assist Control
The system is designed to automatically control the hydraulic pressure of the brakes on all four wheels to support stable descent without locking the wheels when descending a steep slope. This aids the driver to concentrate on steering operations without worrying about braking and accelerating, thus reducing the burden on the driver.
Multi-Terrain Monitor (MTM)
The Multi-Terrain Monitor utilizes four cameras to help the driver see around the vehicle. Images captured can be interchanged and shown on the entire 12.3-inch display, this allows drivers to check road conditions.
A camera has also been placed underneath the vehicle. The Back Underfloor View projects images of the foreground taken in advance to the driver as transparent-underfloor images.
Available grades on the 2024 Lexus LX 600
For the 2024 model year, five grades are available on the luxury SUV, they include the entry LX 600, LX 600 Premium, LX 600 F SPORT Handling, LX 600 Luxury, and LX 600 Ultra Luxury.
Ultra Luxury grade
The Ultra Luxury grade comes standard with a four-seat configuration, with special attention paid to the rear passenger space and their experience. At the rear of the SUV, the front seat can be moved forward and the seat reclining angle can be controlled up to 48 degrees. Additionally, the rear seat display, behind the front passenger seat, can fold down to allow for forward visibility, offering an airy VIP seating experience with a maximum leg space of 1,100 mm/43 in. Maximum comfort, from head to toe, can be achieved by deploying a footrest behind the front seat.
Standard at the rear compartment includes curved headrests, seatbacks, and cushions that gently wrap around the heads, hips, and lower body. Other standard features on the grade include sunshades on the side and quarter windows, reading lights, and a rear seat display. An Ultra Luxury-exclusive air conditioning system offers unique overhead ceiling vents for a full body comfort breeze experience.
The rear control panel, which centrally manages all functions and equipment of the rear passenger experience, has been carefully crafted for a seamless and intuitive guest experience. The space for wireless charging has been lowered to ensure visibility while seated in a reclined position. Cup holders are equipped with a lid, and, with the lid closed, the resulting surface, which is coated with a scratch-resistant self-healing paint, can be used as a note table. The large console box provides ample storage space, and the DC power supply, USB, and headphone jacks located within provide added functionality.
F SPORT Handling grade
The F SPORT Handling grade combines luxury and performance. Standard on the grade an exclusive 22-inch forged aluminum wheels and an F mesh design spindle grille with a jet-black chrome grille frame.
In the cabin, the steering wheel and shifters are wrapped with textured genuine leather for great style and grip. A custom-crafted F-designed seat further enhances hold against lateral g-forces. exclusive to the grade is the Ultra White exterior color with Circuit Red (Interior).
As I mentioned earlier, the best grade to buy if you need luxury, comfort, and performance is the top-of-the-range F SPORT Handling grade. The grade features a special tuning of the EPS and AVS, offering performance response and handling stability that only the F SPORT Handling can provide.
Multimedia and infotainment systems on the 2024 Lexus LX 600
Standard across all grades is the 12.3-inch upper touchscreen with an added LX-exclusive 7-inch lower touchscreen that brings intuitive technology to the occupants’ fingertips. The screen’s Human Machine Interface (HMI) enhances user interaction through sight, touch, and voice while balancing accessibility needs.
The system incorporates a Voice Assistant developed with a human-centered approach. The Voice Assistant Technology is designed with dual microphones with speaker location capability and enhanced noise cancellation.
Also standard on the model is the Lexus Interface User Profile feature which retains the driver settings and experience in the cloud and remains accessible on the go in other Lexus Interface-equipped vehicles. Once a profile is created in the Lexus App, guests can use a Bluetooth® handheld device, smart key, or manual login to access it.
The Lexus Interface native navigation system features 100% cloud capability and integrated Google Points of Interest data. This allows for faster and more accurate directions and mapping. Over-the-air (OTA) updates offer real-time updates for mapping and enriched media experiences. The native navigation is also available to occupants with or without a network connection. Offline mode detects when the vehicle is near or entering an area with low connectivity and downloads applicable maps and services in advance.

Safety and driver assistance systems on the 2024 Lexus LX
All 2024 Lexus LX are equipped with Lexus Safety System+ 2.5 as standard. This brings a suite of key active safety features to the vehicle.
For starters, the Pre-Collision System (PCS), which includes Frontal Collision Warning (FCW), Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB), Pedestrian Detection, and Bicyclist Detection, features an enhancement to the lens camera and millimeter-wave radar elements to expand the response range. At intersections, the system has the capability under certain conditions to recognize an oncoming vehicle when performing a left-hand turn, or a pedestrian when performing left and right-hand turns, and is designed to activate typical PCS functions if needed. Additional PCS functions include Emergency Steering Assist (ESA), which is designed to assist steering within the vehicle’s lane as cued by the driver.
All-Speed Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC) can be activated above 30 mph and is designed to perform vehicle-to-vehicle distance controls down to 0 mph and can resume from a stop. DRCC also includes a feature that allows for smooth overtaking of slower vehicles. If traveling behind a vehicle going slower than the preset speed, once the driver engages the turn signal, the system will provide an initial increase in acceleration in preparation for changing lanes; and, after the driver changes lanes, the vehicle will continue acceleration until it reaches the original preset driving speed.
Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist (LDA w/ SA) is designed to help notify the driver if it senses an inadvertent lane departure at speeds above 32 miles per hour via steering wheel vibrations or audible alert. It can also take slight corrective measures to help keep the driver within the visibly marked lane. When DRCC is set and engaged, Lane Tracing Assist (LTA) is designed to provide a slight steering force to help steer to the center of the lane to assist the driver with staying in the lane using visible lane markers or a preceding vehicle. LTA alerts the driver with a visual warning and either an audible alert or steering wheel vibration.
Additional Lexus Safety System+ 2.5 features include Intelligent High Beams, which detect preceding or oncoming vehicles and automatically switch between high beam and low beam headlights. Road Sign Assist (RSA) is designed to acquire certain road sign information using a camera and navigation maps when data is available and display them on the multi-information display (MID).
