LX 700h: The Ultimate Hybrid SUV

Lexus introduces the LX 700h with a newly developed hybrid powertrain. The vehicle combines a 3.5L V6 twin-turbo engine with a motor generator (MG) and 10-speed automatic transmission, ensuring seamless operation and improved fuel efficiency.

The LX 700h retains full-time 4WD, a Lo-range transfer case, and a torque converter, all essential features for off-road capability. Structural enhancements, such as a redesigned rear engine mount and cross member support, ensure durability without compromising ground clearance.

Performance and Technology

The LX 700h’s hybrid system offers stronger acceleration by leveraging motor torque along with the twin-turbo engine. Off-road capabilities are further enhanced with motor-driven power to the Lo-range for the first time, allowing more precise throttle control.

Key performance enhancements include:

• Multi-Terrain Select for better traction in diverse terrains.
• Radiator support reinforcements for improved steering response.
• Optimized bracket thickness to enhance handling stability.
• Cab mount cushions for a smoother, more refined ride.

Additionally, Lexus introduces a 12.3-inch LCD meter display that provides real-time driving information, including hybrid battery charge levels and auxiliary battery voltage.
