Lexus LX700h / LX600 (2025)

Lexus has offered hybrid SUVs going back to 2006, so the arrival of a hybrid powertrain for the LX had an air of inevitability about it.

This is a first for the big-boy SUV, however, which was redesigned for the 2022 model year. Whereas previous Lexus hybrids have been mostly about fuel economy, that's not really the case this time.

With a combined fuel-economy estimate of 20 mpg, the hybrid LX is just 1 mpg better than its nonhybrid sibling, and it also managed just 20 mpg in our 75-mph highway fuel-economy test, 1 mpg worse than its nonhybrid LX600 sibling.

Instead, the LX700h's numerically higher model designation (versus the rest of the lineup's LX600 nameplate) is indicative both of its loftier horsepower output and its higher position in the lineup
