When Toyota in the United States for the 2022 model year, many decried the loss of Toyota’s top-shelf SUV. Its Lexus cousin, however, won’t be leaving us so soon — instead, we’re getting a brand new version of the flagship family hauler.

The updated LX is expected to share the GA-F platform, which Toyota claims resulted in 440 lbs of weight savings on the Cruiser. Numbers may vary given the Lexus’s luxury appointments, but don’t be surprised if the new LX comes down a weight class from the outgoing model.

The quick-cut trailer doesn’t reveal much of the upcoming SUV

The LX 600 is also expected to share the new Cruiser’s twin-turbo V6, making 409 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque. With 3.5 liters of displacement, it’s unclear what (if anything) the 600 in the SUV’s name now means. Power, in kilowatts, doubled? Torque, in newton-meters, rounded to the nearest 100?

The new LX, like the outgoing model, is expected to compete with comically large body-on-frame SUVs like the Lincoln Navigator, Cadillac Escalade, and Infiniti QX80. The Lexus’s turbocharged engine may be aiming for a leg up on the segment’s historically dismal fuel economy, but time (and EPA test cycles) will tell if it’s effective.

Given the teaser’s dusty, unpaved setting, it’s likely Lexus will continue to lean into the off-road prowess of their largest SUVs. The LX and GX are known for , and the gives Lexus an opportunity to stake their claim to the luxury off-road market.

The upcoming LX will be fully revealed in a on October 13. Lexus hasn’t confirmed whether the outgoing model’s Nori Green paint will be returning, but they should be warned that I will riot if it doesn’t.

For $12,000, Will You Like This Elite A Lot?
The Type 75 Lotus Elite is a far cry from its diminutive predecessor, but as today's custom edition proves, there's always room for improvement. You'll still need to decide if this Elite is priced to match its name. You know, if the Unibomber had yesterday's custom instead of his shitty...

Dinan S3-R BMW 1M: The Jalopnik Review
My best guess is that Dinan is actually part of some radical environmental group dedicated to eliminating all private car ownership. That's the only reason I can think of to explain why they keep making these amazing machines designed to remove your legal ability to drive, like this 1M. I...

If I had money, I tell you what I'd do, I'd go downtown and buy a Mercury or two. So goes the Alan Jackson classic, Mercury Blues, but should you need only one cool Merc then today's Marquis might be it. That is, if its price doesn't give you the...

Do you have an escape plan for when society finally crumbles? If not the you should, and today's Kingwood Camper might make for a perfect post-collapse mobile stronghold, that is if its price isn't apocalyptic. You know what would have been pretty earth shattering? If yesterday's hadn't walked off the...
