The Lexus LX is entering the 2021 model
year with a handful of updates and a new limited edition package. Changes are
relatively limited, but the luxury SUV gains Amazon Alexa compatibility as well
as newly available Glazed Caramel upholstery. The exterior color palette has
also been updated as customers can select a new Nori Green Pearl paint job.
The LX’s Sport Package has been updated as
well and it now features a revised grille and a better-looking front bumper.
The package also includes new 21-inch forged alloy wheels. The rest of package
carries over, so buyers will also find a sportier rear valance, additional
body-color components and side mirrors with chrome accents. Inside, there’s a black
headliner and semi-aniline leather seats.
The big news for 2021 is the LX
Inspiration Series which is limited to 500 units. Available exclusively in
Black Onyx or White Pearl, the limited edition embraces the blackout trend as
it features a black grille, tinted lighting units, black window frames and
black chrome trim. The model also has black badging, black door handles and
21-inch alloy wheels with a black finish.
Inside, the three-row SUV has exclusive
black semi-aniline leather seats with Rioja Red accents. The model also has a
black headliner, special floor mats and unique key gloves.
All LXs are powered by a 5.7-liter V8
engine that produces 383 hp and 546 Nm of torque.
It is connected to an eight-speed automatic transmission which is paired to a
four-wheel-drive system with a limited-slip center differential.
Lexus didn’t mention pricing, but the 2021
LX will likely arrive at U.S. dealerships later this year.
