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.

If you’re picking up a to look cool and make loud parking lot exits, you’re going to have a bad time. Don’t let the drop top, creamy leather and nice curves fool you–this car is aggressive and it’s not to be trifled with. In other words, it’s classic supercar through...

Hurst and Cadillac may be an unexpected combo, but as today’s hot CTS shows, they needn’t be mutually exclusive. Just how exclusive is their combined price, however? While yesterday’s may have been a rare opportunity for you to experience a cop ride from the front seat for once, it proved...

At $16,990, Could This 2006 BMW M3 Coupé Mean That Dinan Is Served?
For everyone whose mantra is DIY there’s another who’d rather somebody else just do the work. Today’s E46 M3 has already had a lot of work done, but will its price make it DOA? Do you know how old I was before I figured out that the V8 in Campbell’s...

Yeah I'm All About Electric Scooter Sharing Now
Electric scooter sharing is bad business and a public nuisance. Venture capital funded companies like Bird that have dumped miniature EVs in cities are already getting chased out of San Francisco and Austin. But if you don’t care about any of that, the things are really fun and cheap to...
