- 2024 Lexus LX adds more seven-seat variants
- No other revisions for LandCruiser 300-based upper-large SUV
- Prices up $5500 across LX line-up
The 2024 Lexus LX line-up has expanded with more seven-seat variants.
Lexus Australia has announced the LX Sports Luxury will now be available with a three-row configuration for both the LX500d diesel and LX600 petrol variants.
Compared to the five-seat LX Sports Luxury, seven-seat models – which command a $2600 premium – receive an automatic folding third-row, extended curtain airbag coverage, and rear USB-C ports on either side of the third-row seats.

However, the seven-seat LX600 Sports Luxury loses the tonneau parcel shelf, while the seven-seat LX500d Sports Luxury deletes the soft-close doors and 30-litre auxiliary fuel tank fitted to the five-seat model.
There are no other specification changes for the 2024 Lexus LX – the luxury sibling to the Toyota LandCruiser 300 launched in fourth-generation form at the start of 2022 – though prices have increased by $5500 for all carryover variants.
The LX line-up now starts at $157,061 before on-road costs for the entry-level LX500d seven-seat and rises to $219,061 plus on-roads for the LX600 Ultra Luxury four-seater.

Engine, drivetrain, and fuel economy
Under the bonnet of the LX500d is the 3.3-litre twin-turbo V6 diesel from the LandCruiser 300 Series, producing an identical 227kW and 700Nm to its Toyota cousin.
For the LX600, it scores a 3.5-litre, twin-turbo V6 petrol, developing more power than the diesel at 305kW, but with a dip in torque to 650Nm.
Both engines send power to the road via a full-time four-wheel-drive system and a 10-speed torque-converter automatic gearbox, equipped with a low-range transfer case.
With a 110-litre fuel capacity, the LX500d has a potential maximum driving range of 1447 kilometres.
All variants score a trailer wiring harness and towing hitch, allowing the LX to tow up to 3500 kilograms braked.
