From the engine's start, the 2025 Lexus LX700h makes its presence known. This is more than just the first hybrid in the LX family, it's a bold redefinition of what a full-size luxury SUV can be. Crafted to meet the demands of UAE roads and off-road terrain alike, this powerhouse delivers the perfect blend of refinement, strength, and innovation. Join us as we take the LX700 for a proper test drive.
On the road, the LX700 surges forward with confidence, thanks to its 3.5-liter V6 twin-turbo hybrid powertrain. Paired with a single electric motor, the engine produces a commanding 457 horsepower and a peak torque of 790 Nm. This means quick acceleration, high speed stability, and the kind of low-end torque that makes off-roading effortless. The 10-speed automatic transmission shifts with impressive smoothness, while the massive 98-liter fuel tank makes long desert drives worry-free.
Equipped with features like Crawl Control, Multi Terrain Select, and locking differentials, the LX700h adapts seamlessly to sand, rocks, and water crossings. With water-resistant underbody protection and a fording depth of up to 70 cm, it's more than capable when the pavement ends.
Lexus equips the LX700h with its latest safety suite, Lexus Safety System Plus 3.0. This includes Pre Collision System, Blind Spot Monitor, Parking Support Brake, and Adaptive Cruise Control for peace of mind in both city traffic and highway cruising. The Panoramic View Monitor provides a 360 degree view for effortless maneuvering, while the torque-sensing limited-slip differential adds extra grip when conditions get tricky.
Add in the Emergency Call System, push button start, and smart terrain management tools, and the LX700h proves it’s more than just luxurious, it’s also highly capable and reassuringly safe for families across the Emirates.
From its water crossing capability to its tech-loaded cabin, the Lexus LX700 H feels built specifically for the lifestyle and challenges of the Gulf. It blends rugged capability with high-end comfort and next-generation safety in a way few other SUVs can. And while it introduces hybrid efficiency, it never sacrifices on strength or style.
For drivers looking to combine performance, presence, and eco friendly innovation in a full size SUV, the LX700h is a serious contender. Available now across Lexus showrooms in the UAE, with prices starting from AED 590,000.
