The past few years have seen an explosion of ultra-premium trims for luxury SUVs. Land Rover kicked off the trend with four-seat Range Rover trims, and Mercedes-Benz soon followed with the Maybach-badged GLS. Now, the redesigned Lexus LX joins the party.
Following the example of the Range Rover SVAutobiography and Mercedes-Maybach GLS, the Lexus LX 600 Ultra Luxury subs out the center bench for a two-seat layout with a fixed center console and a borderline obnoxious amount of equipment. The rear seats are heated, ventilated, and equipped with massagers, while the passenger-side chair can extend out into a lounger, complete with an ottoman that pops out from the front passenger’s backrest. The LX 600’s top trim deserves the Ultra Luxury designation Lexus attached, but it’s not perfect, as our editors found out after a week of testing.
