2025 Lexus LX Hybrid - What to Expect from the Hybrid Facelift?

Are you ready to see a classic SUV step into the future? The 2024 Lexus LX, the fourth generation of this flagship SUV, shares its robust platform with the Toyota Land Cruiser 300. While many car manufacturers are rushing to electrify their fleets, the LX has held out—until now.

In March 2021, Lexus introduced the LF-Z Electrified concept, signaling an ambitious plan to launch 20 new or improved models by 2025, with more than half featuring some form of electrification. This includes fully electric vehicles like the Lexus RZ and hybrid models like the LX, which are expected to adopt hybrid technology in future updates.

Currently, the LX stands alone in Lexus's SUV lineup without any electrification. However, this is set to change. The first facelift of the fourth-generation LX is expected to include one or two hybrid options. For the U.S. market, a gasoline-electric full-hybrid variant seems almost certain, while a diesel mild-hybrid could be introduced in markets where diesel engines are popular.

Lexus's sales data underscores the growing demand for electrified vehicles. In 2022, 89 percent of its European sales were electrified models. In the U.S., electrified vehicles made up 21.3 percent of total sales in 2022, rising to 28.6 percent in 2023. This trend indicates a strong market demand for a Lexus LX Hybrid.

Initially, it was speculated that Lexus might unveil the facelifted LX as early as 2025. However, a report from Automotive News in July 2023 suggests this might be delayed until 2027. This delay will allow the LX to undergo significant reengineering. Full-size, body-on-frame SUVs like the LX often have longer life cycles and may receive multiple updates before a complete redesign.

One highly anticipated hybrid variant is the LX700h. On March 6, 2023, Toyota filed a trademark for the LX700h name in both the U.S. and Canada, indicating plans for a full-hybrid version. This model is expected to be available in North America, with possible mild-hybrid variants aimed at the European market.
