2026 Lexus LX Hybrid Review, Pricing, and Specs
Overview Lexus manages to pack two personalities into its large LX SUV, a luxury conveyance and a true off-roader. Compared to the nonhybrid, the LX700h hybrid reviewed here has an additional 48 horsepower and the ability to sling a bit of mud using electrons alone. The hybrid also has a fuel-economy advantage over the LX600, but it's a slim one. Not much changes in terms of dynamics, with all LX models offering a smooth ride and handling that's more tuned for long highway jaunts than twisty roads. Those who want to go full-on overlander with their LX should choose the Overtrail trim, which comes with a trio of locking differentials, skid plates to protect what's underneath, and all-terrain rubber. Opt instead for the Ultra Luxury, and you get two rows of opulent seating, skipping the cramped third row. Expert Tip: You'll save about $8000 by opting for the slightly less powerful, nonhybrid LX600. What's New for 2026? We're not expecting any big changes to the hybrid LX for its second model year. Pricing and Which One to Buy The price of the 2026 Lexus LX Hybrid is expected to start around $116,000 and go up to $142,000 depending on the trim and options. Overtrail $116,000 (est) F Sport $119,000 (est) Luxury $121,000 (est) Ultra Luxury $142,000 (est) 0 $50k $100k $150k $200k $250k Unless you're planning to use the LX700h as an overlanding vehicle, we'd recommend skipping the rugged Overtrail. Instead, the mid-range Luxury trim should suit most people's needs. It adds niceties such as semi-aniline leather upholstery, a Mark Levinson stereo system, and handsome 22-inch wheels, among other features. Engine, Transmission, and Performance Hybrid Powertrain: twin-turbocharged 3.4-liter V-6 and one electric motor, 457 hp combined twin-turbocharged 3.4-liter V-6 and one electric motor, 457 hp combined Transmission: 10-speed automatic 10-speed automatic Drivetrain: four-wheel-drive The LX700h is powered by the same twin-turbo 3.4-liter V-6 as the nonhybrid LX600, but it's buttressed by an electric motor that pumps in an additional 48 horsepower, for a total of 457 horsepower. A 10-speed automatic transmission and a four-wheel-drive system are both standard. The electric motor can drive the LX700h at low speeds without kicking on the V-6, which can be helpful in low-range off-roading where precise throttle control is required. Speaking of off-road driving, the LX700h comes with plenty of gear for such adventures, including a locking center differential, an adjustable air-spring suspension system, and a Crawl Control feature. The Overtrail trim is the most capable, though, and features locking front, rear, and center differentials. A set of 18-inch wheels with 33-inch all-terrain tires is also standard on the Overtrail, and Lexus has endowed that trim with a front skid plate and a 2400-watt AC inverter, which off-grid campers will find useful, as it turns the LX into a power source when overlanding far from home. When we drove the LX700h, we found it to be refined and powerful, with quicker acceleration than the nonhybrid and seamless transitions between electric and gasoline power. 0–60-MPH Times C/D 60-mph Test: 5.5 seconds In Comparison: The LX700h is about a half-second quicker to 60 mph than the nonhybrid LX600. View Exterior Photos Michael Simari | Car and Driver Towing and Payload Capacity Like the LX600, the hybrid LX700h can tow a trailer weighing up to 8000 pounds. Fuel Economy and Real-World MPG C/D 75-mph Highway Fuel-Economy Test: 20 mpg 20 mpg EPA City Rating: 19 mpg 19 mpg EPA Highway Rating: 22 mpg The EPA hasn't released any fuel-economy information for the 2026 LX Hybrid yet, but the 2025 model earned ratings of 19 mpg city, 22 mpg highway, and 20 mpg combined. For more information about the LX Hybrid's fuel economy, visit the EPA's website. Interior, Comfort, and Cargo First Row: The LX's front seats are supremely comfortable and come with standard massage. There's a good amount of room up front, too. Second Row: In row two, most LX700h trims come with a three-across bench, while the Ultra Luxury swaps in a pair of reclining chairs and does away with the third row. Though regal in their appointments, the Ultra Luxury's seats reduce legroom, making the space feel a bit tight. Third Row: The available third-row seat offers good room for the upper half of adult torsos but is cramped for legs and feet due to the location of the rear axle and hybrid battery underneath. Buyers opting for the Overtrail can choose to delete the third row in favor of additional cargo space. Cargo Capacity: With all seats folded, the LX700h offers a max of about 62 cubic feet of cargo room. Three-row models reserve a scant 7 cubes behind the rear-most row, while the two-row version comes in at 31 cubic feet when the seats are in use.

Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are both standard, as is a head-up display. Wireless charging is offered, and audiophiles can upgrade the stereo to a 25-speaker Mark Levinson surround-sound system—it's included on the Luxury and Ultra Luxury trims but otherwise optional. Safety and Driver-Assistance Features A suite of driver-assistance features is standard on the LX and includes automated emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, and lane-keeping assist, although the LX lacks a hands-free highway driving assist system like the Cadillac Escalade's Super Cruise. Standard Safety Features: automated emergency braking with pedestrian-and-bicyclist detection, lane-departure warning with lane-keeping assist, adaptive cruise control with a lane-centering feature For information about the LX Hybrid's crash-test results, visit the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) websites.

Everything You Need To Know About The 2025 Lexus GX
2025 Lexus GX Overtrail Sometimes, you need an SUV that feels like a luxury vehicle on a road trip. Other times, you want to leave civilization behind and take a 4x4 vehicle off road. It's not always easy to find one that works in both situations, but the 2025 Lexus GX ticks all the boxes. Debuting with an all-new body style in 2024, the Lexus GX features an attractive boxy shape and impressive capability both on- and off-road. Every Lexus GX is equipped with a turbocharged 3.4-liter V6 making 349 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque, offering plenty of get-up-and-go for everything from smooth highways to rocky trails. The GX has long been a favorite in the off-road community, and it doesn't seem that will change any time soon. Take a look at my list of pros and cons below. 2025 Lexus GX Overtrail Lexus GX Pro: Trims For Luxury And Adventure The Lexus GX is available in six trim levels: Premium, Premium+, Luxury, Luxury+, Overtrail, and Overtrail+. Those who don't plan to stray from pavement will be fine with the first four options and can choose the best version for them depending on how many amenities they want. For instance, a heated steering wheel is standard on GX Premium+ and massaging chairs start at Luxury level. Overtrail and Overtrail+ include all of the standard features on the Premium model, adding 18-inch wheels, a dynamic suspension system, off-road-focused drive modes, and a surround-view camera for safety on the trail. Plus--and this is important when you're hauling gear--the third row is deleted for these two trims, freeing up cargo space in the rear. And it's a significant difference: 45.6 cubic feet in Overtrail and Overtrail+ variants versus a minimalist 10.3 cubic feet in the trims that include three rows. 2025 Lexus GX Overtrail interior Lexus GX Pro: Luxurious And Streamlined Interior Lexus designers do a spectacular job creating a vehicle that competes with the likes of the Infiniti QX80 and Land Rover Defender. One of my favorite available features is the 'cool box' in the console that works like a small cooler to keep your drinks and snacks cold. It's a great place for chocolate, too. Heated and ventilated seats are standard even on the base GX, which is a nice touch. There's a handy 120-volt household outlet in the cargo area for appliances or camping gear. Upgrade to the Luxury+ trim for truly premium amenities like an adjustable-tint glass sunroof and a 21-speaker Mark Levinson audio system. 2025 Lexus GX map graphics are crisp and clear Lexus GX Pro: Technology Is Intuitive And Current Every GX has a 14-inch touchscreen with the newest infotainment technology available from the Toyota group. It was a big deal when Lexus replaced its glitchy touchpad with the new touchscreen in 2021, and I've been impressed with it ever since. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are included, and the climate controls are set up smartly at the bottom of the screen. I like the way the climate knobs are lit and large enough to turn easily. Using the infotainment system is simple and not oversaturated with deep menu options. Interior of the Lexus GX Lexus GX Con: A Few Cabin Functionality Issues The vents are maddeningly inflexible, which drove me crazy in the Texas heat. I wanted the air to blow right on my face to cool me off, and I couldn't seem to get it just where I wanted it. Minor, but when you live in the South it's an important distinction. Lexus GX Con: Fuel Economy Is Middling The GX is powered by an internal combustion engine that's punchy and quick, and scaling mid-size rocky hills with no problems. It's not known for its fuel economy, however. The EPA estimates the GX is good for 15 mpg in the city and 21 mpg on the highway, not to mention that premium fuel is recommended. If a fuel-sipping vehicle is a priority for you, take a look at the four-cylinder-powered Toyota Land Cruiser instead. Lexus GX Verdict: Definitely More Pros Than Cons For 2025, the Lexus GX carries on as a stellar SUV for off- and on-road luxury. If you're an adventurer, don't think twice about choosing Overland or Overland+, and you won't be disappointed.

Don't Let The Bentley Flying Spur Fool You. It's As Fun As It Is Fancy
The new Bentley Flying Spur The Bentley Flying Spur might be the most fun car I've ever driven and I almost missed the chance. With a name and a reputation steeped in legacy, one that seems quaint and stuffy for its continued embrace of the past, the four-door five passenger ultra-luxury sedan seemed to me better suited for the chauffeured elite than the daily driver; I expected it would be fun to look at but less so to drive. However, with a 771 hp electric-boosted powertrain (and a slightly less powerful hybrid option) I had to take a spin. I expected it would be powerful and quiet in a large, lumbering sort of way. I was completely, and delightfully, wrong. Despite A Design Palette I Wouldn't Choose, I Was Smitten Design in a car like the Bentley Flying Spur is everything: It can comprise a significant portion of the cost; it is highly customizable and very personal. Once you plop down several hundred thousand and endure a months-long wait for a car, it better be to your liking. So when I took a look at the gray Flying Spur with an orange-accented gray interior, I thought, well, this isn't for me. But soon the details seeped in and I began to see the brilliance. The exterior Blackline Specification accents that surround the cut crystal headlights, split the hood and grille and span its lower quarters create a yacht-like feel as if it's slicing through the water, or in this case, air. Inside, Mandarin leather and stitching add an architectural feel to the tone-on-tone gray, chrome and gloss black, highlighting the the seats, the dash surround and 3D diamond leather door panels. It seems stark in photos, and that was my first reaction. But it's quite elegant once you put yourself at the center of the cabin and feel how the gray leather soothes and the orange excites; it's subdued and effervescent at the same time. And it was unexpected and appreciated. I never got tired of it. The drivers seat in our Bentley Flying Spur Speed test model Power Underfoot Lets You Fly Away From It All With two updated powertrains to choose from, the Bentley Flying Spur lineup, with four models, is now complete. Buyers can choose from the base model Flying Spur, which starts at about $250,000 or upgrade to the comfort-focused Azure model, both of which carry the brand's new twin turbo V8 hybrid engine that generates 671 hp and 686 pound-feet of torque. Or, buyers can opt for the faster and more powerful Flying Spur Speed with a starting price of about $272,000, or the ultimate in design, the Mulliner model, which starts at just under $300,000. These two are powered by the same plug-in hybrid electric-boosted twin turbo V8 engine found in the Bentley Continental Speed; it generates 771 hp and 738 pound-feet of torque. Both engines out-produce the power of the former W12 engine, a 12-cylinder powerhouse that had legions of fans. However, Bentley happily reports, the new hybrid V8s are winning over fans and outselling the former models. Buyers of the Speed and Mulliner models get another benefit: To be able to drive about 37 miles on all electric power, a bonus for those who don't love stops at the gas station. Even with all the hybrid power under the hood, the twin turbo V8 engine is still a thirsty beast; average fuel economy is estimated at about 20 MPG. The rear end of our Bentley Flying Spur Speed Driving The Bentley Flying Spur Is Incredibly Fun After driving both the Azure and the Speed (our Speed test model was priced at about $366,000 with options) I found that both deliver a quiet start, a throaty throttle response in sport mode and complete confidence on the highway. The only real question is, which Bentley Flying Spur to choose? This is really about personal preference more than powertrain; they are both incredibly capable. The throaty engine sound wasn't too much of a surprise; V8 engines are known for that. What was a surprise was the agile, easy and when asked, responsive drive experience that this sedan delivers. Even though the cabin is roomy and sublimely outfitted for luxury with options like reclining massaging front and rear seats and personal electronics for all passengers, Bentley's designers managed to keep the overall dimensions of the Flying Spur on the smaller side; its 209' length feels sleek thanks to wide-set wheels, a sloped roofline and rounded corners. Around town and on the highway, the Flying Spur was effortless to drive. But when I needed to pass slower traffic I seemed to only need ask and the Flying Spur obliged, zipping past other cars without hesitation. It never felt like an overwhelming amount of power but plenty to accomplish the task. And this is what made it so fun. Once you discover how easily the Flying Spur throws you back in your seat, you'll want to do it over and over. Being tossed back into the bolstered, channel-stitched leather seats is an incredible feeling and part of what makes this car so special. Even your rear seat passengers will feel thrill rather than annoyance, as I found out when ferrying my family around New Jersey, New York and Connecticut during my test drive. The Bentley Flying Spur Speed hood sculpture This Luxury Sedan Has An Actual Flying Spur On the multimedia screen you'll find an option to 'reveal or conceal' the Bentley Flying B, the only hood sculpture in the Bentley family. Press 'reveal' and a panel over the compartment moves over to allow the crystal and metal ornament to extend, its inner light shimmering over the grille. Press 'conceal' and it retracts into the hood. The Flying Spur, both the model's name and the icon, are an homage to the lineage of Arthur Johnstone, an original managing director of H.J. Mulliner coachbuilders. His family's crest is a flying spur, which signifies readiness and speed, and is derived from a spur that was delivered to Robert the Bruce to warn him to prepare for battle for the borders of Scotland; the crest was later awarded to the Johnstone family when Bruce became King of Scotland. Speed and readiness certainly define the modern Bentley Flying Spur. But so do quiet, comfort and luxury. What doesn't define it is lumbering stuffiness. Not just its ability to create an exciting interior and exterior, but by its sculpted nature that makes it more agile, sleek and drivable. Now in its fourth generation and celebrating 20 years since its modern re-introduction in 2005, don't dismiss the Bentley Flying Spur as your grandma's luxury car. I almost did and I would have missed out on one of the most fun cars on the road.
