Lexus gives the LX a big underhood upgrade for 2022—it’s too bad it didn’t upgrade the rest of the SUV to support it.
. This means the Lexus does double duty as a replacement for its archaic predecessor and as a stand-in for the Land Cruiser for American customers, whose big 4x4 itch can no longer be scratched for less, er, scratch at a Toyota dealer.Dimensionally, the 2022 Lexus LX600 barely shades its predecessor. Its 112.2-inch wheelbase measurement is identical, while overall length grows by 0.2 inch, width increases by 0.4 inch, and overall height drops by 0.6 inch.
The V-6 delivers its power in a pleasantly diesel-like way, feeding a satisfying wave of low-end torque through the new 10-speed automatic to the LX's tires. In our testing, the 2022 Lexus LX600's 0-60-mph time improved by 0.6 second compared to the LX570's, dropping to 6.7 seconds and closer to its American full-size SUV competition.
Fuel economy is an unequivocal benefit to the new V-6. The 2022 LX600's EPA estimates rise by a significant 5 mpg in the city, 6 mpg on the highway, and 5 mpg combined, to 17/22/19 mpg. Those are nearly 50 percent better than before. On a longer freeway trip we undertook, the onboard fuel economy meter hovered around 20 mpg, which is about on par with today's other full-size three-row SUVs.There is no getting around the 2022 Lexus LX600's handling, or lack thereof.
