Lexus' most expensive SUV yet: The 2025 LX 700h hybrid arrives
- 557 views
Lexus is expanding its full-size portfolio by adding a hybrid variant to its flagship SUV. The fourth-generation Lexus LX has been on sale for a few years now, and buyers looking for more power now have an electrified option. As you might expect, it comes at a healthy premium.
The 2025 Lexus LX 700h starts at $115,350, including destination, which is considerably more than the Premium trim non-hybrid LX 600, which starts at $106,850. Lexus even added a hybrid-exclusive trim level to give it its own unique place in the lineup.
2025 Lexus LX 700h
Let’s start with the basics. The LX 700h borrows the 3.4-liter twin-turbocharged V6 from the LX 600, combined with a nickel-metal hydride battery.
Even better, the hybrid uses the same 10-speed automatic transmission instead of a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) like many other hybrids.
The battery gives the LX 700h a considerable power boost, resulting in a combined output of 457 horsepower and 483 pound-feet of torque. By comparison, the non-hybrid LX makes 409 hp and 479 lb-ft of torque.
As a bonus perk, the hybrid's fuel economy is supposed to improve slightly to 20 mpg combined versus 19 in the LX 600. This is far from a Prius, but it’s designed first and foremost for the trails.

Every 2025 LX comes standard with off-road chops like active ride height with adaptive variable suspension, multi-terrain drive modes, underfloor cameras, electric power steering, crawl control in low range, and downhill assist.
For 2025, the Ultra Luxury trim is hybrid-only and starts at $141,450.
