Overview
The Lexus LX is a full-size luxury SUV for buyers who want a 457 hp petrol-hybrid, AWD and seating for four, five or seven occupants. The J310 generation arrives in Malaysia for 2026 with three versions, from RM1,540,000. It is aimed at buyers prepared to pay flagship money for a large, electrified Lexus SUV.
LX in 2026 — what's new
The Lexus LX enters Malaysia as the 2026 LX 700h, marking the J310 generation’s launch. Its 3,445 cc electrified twin-turbo V6 produces 457 hp and works with an automatic transmission and AWD. The Malaysian line-up comprises the seven-seat Urban, five-seat F Sport and four-seat VIP. The range starts at RM1.54 million, with the VIP sitting at the top of the line.
Which variant to buy
Most buyers should take the Urban at RM1,540,000, because it matches the F Sport’s 3,445 cc petrol-hybrid powertrain, 457 hp, AWD and automatic transmission while providing seven seats. Choose the F Sport at the same price only if five seats suit your needs better. The RM1,715,000 VIP is RM175,000 dearer and seats four; pay that step only when a four-seat cabin is the priority. On paper, the extra spend is for seating configuration rather than a more powerful drivetrain.
Verdict
The LX 700h gives Malaysia a 457 hp petrol-hybrid luxury SUV with AWD and a choice of four, five or seven seats. But it is priced firmly at the top end: its entry price is above the Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV, GLS and Maybach EQS SUV. Buyers needing seven seats have a clear Urban choice, while the VIP’s four-seat layout carries a substantial RM175,000 premium.
