I like what I see, but is this a refresh? Has many similar lines to the current one. I thought the land cruiser was all new so thought this would be too.
Also, that is a ridiculous amount of screens. I'd still buy one, but, damn.

It's all new. The interior is completely redesigned. The exterior looks similar to the outgoing one but has some distinction. And of course it's replacing the V8 with a twin turbo V6.

Thanks. If only this had second row captain's chairs. I'd put a deposit down today.

Yep, entirely new. It's a part of the new TNGA-F chassis which is shared with the (unobtainable) 300 series Land Cruiser and new Tundra. I've got a 200 series and it's certainly much different.

What a hideous looking thing.
The interior has no flow with the dual screen center stack. The V6tt is not competitive. |

Looks like Lexua wants to reclaim their market share since they have learned their designed was turned into a luxury mom car. |

Interior is nice but other than that the thing is beastly ugly in my opinion. Ungainly and awkward.

I love it, and thats saying a lot if you know me. lol. Never been a fan of Lexus. I think it has great presence. Very masculine in design. Looks a lot like the classic Land Cruisers in profile. Love the proportions. Would easily take this over the GLS and X7.

Looks competitive enough for its segment.
On a side note, I can't imagine shelling out 911 money for a bland house on wheels like all these large luxo-barges. Then again, I don't have kids.

Ugly all around, well done. Well, not the worst ever here, but it doesn't look good either.

BMW can't even decide if they want to do horizontal slats, vertical slats, honeycomb, rounded grille, squared edged grille, bucktooth, separated grille, joined grille. It's like they have many designers, all exists in their own vaccum and all work for different companies I think he is saying that modern large luxo SUVs is pricier than 911s which he is right. He can't understand why because he doesn't have kids. Hell I have kids I still don't get why spend all that money when the kids'd just ruin all that leather, precious buttons and screens with mud, sand, snow, ice cream, munchies, mysterious rocks and plants they drag with them. I kinda do, but don't understand that mentality either.

The mentality is if you're going to buy a car like this anyway, it may as well be something worth buying and driving so long as the budget permits. I'll admit, I've never shopped this car because I thought second row captain's chairs with a passthrough weren't available. All of the photos I've ever seen showed a second row bench. But if it does exist on this generation, this is an almost certain purchase for me once the market comes back down to Earth in a few months or years. I'm not loyal to any brand, but my wife loves Lexus, and won't drive a minivan, so this is the winner for me. She hates changing cars too, so I know she'll drive this for 15-20 years as long as she doesn't smash it. Her 2016 RX350 currently has 31k miles on it, so this could potentially get us through until our kids are beyond college age and we don't even need it anymore. That, and this one purchase would let me buy more of my own cars over time with that leftover budget ![]()
