Hardcore Overtrail joins LX lineup

Lexus is adding a hardcore version to its big LX off roader.

The LX Overtrail builds on the success of last year’s GX Overtrail, offering customers an expanded range of vehicles tailored to their diverse needs.

While the LX Overtrail looks the part with its bold yet refined exterior design, it is the bespoke mechanical components and enhancements that improve ground-covering ability and traction in the most difficult terrain.

Low-speed grip is maximised with front, centre and rear locking differentials, joining the already- impressive suite of off-road traction aids including Multi-Terrain Select, Downhill Assist Control, Crawl Control, Multi-Terrain Monitor and Active Height Control.

Further grip is provided by the fitment of 265/70R18 Toyo Open Country all-terrain tyres, which offer a taller sidewall than any other LX thanks to unique 18-inch Overtrail alloy wheels.

LX Overtrail is distinguished by black highlights for the front spindle grille, front and rear bumpers, wheel arches, side mirrors, door handles, window mouldings and roof rails.

Customers can choose from a duo of twin-turbocharged, intercooled V6 powertrains: the 3.3-litre diesel producing 227kW and 700Nm or the 3.5-litre petrol with 305kW and 650Nm.

Lexus Australia is also evaluating the availability and suitability of a hybrid powertrain for Australian customers.

Further details on the 2025 LX range, including LX Overtrail pricing and major specifications across all grades, will be announced closer to launch later in the first half of this year.

Lexus Australia boss John Pappas said the LX Overtrail is designed for LX customers seeking the ultimate combination of adventure and refinement.

“The LX combines luxurious appointments and thoughtful comfort features with the rugged performance of a full-size luxury SUV, delivering outstanding off-road, towing and hauling capability,” he said.
