Lexus LX
The Lexus LX is one of the original luxury SUVs, with roots that go back to 1996. The fourth generation was introduced two years ago and replaced the old V8 with a turbocharged 3.5-litre V6 producing 409 horsepower. The transmission is a 10-speed unit. A solid body-on-frame chassis enables the LX to tackle challenging terrains, yet comfort levels live up to the brand’s reputation. What’s more, the LX is highly reliable.
