Lexus LX 700h Overtrail SUV
The new Lexus LX is getting an off-road-ready hybrid drivetrain with the LX 700h. The 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 hybrid system is equipped with a waterproof battery with a bulkhead that helps prevent water from entering the engine and a waterproof AC inverter that gives up to 2,400 watts of external power. A new 12.3-inch LCD provides alerts if water intrusion does occur. The hybrid system can also be bypassed, allowing for ICE operation only in the case of a system failure. The LX 700h can ford up to 27.5 inches of water before worrying about ingress. The LX will also be getting an off-road focused Overtrail edition that adds a front and rear differential lock along with optional all-terrain tires on 18-inch wheels. The hybrid and Overtrail editions should begin rolling out in late 2024.
