About this vehicle

Vehicle Overview

The 2018 Lexus LX450d represents the absolute pinnacle of luxury and rugged mechanical engineering, offering an upscale alternative to the Toyota Land Cruiser 200 series upon which it is built. This locally used unit has covered 80,000 kilometers and stands out in a refined bronze metallic exterior, showing typical road presence with a negotiable pricing structure tailored to close locally. Given the Kenyan market’s immense appreciation for executive diesel cruisers, its robust 1VD-FTV V8 power plant makes it highly sought after for both high-profile urban assignments in Nairobi and cross-country diplomatic tours over demanding sub-Saharan terrain.

Wheels and Chassis

  • Wheels: 20-inch executive split-V-spoke alloy wheels fitted with heavy-duty 285/50 R20 tires.

  • Suspension: Hydropneumatic Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS) paired with Active Height Control (AHC) automatic leveling.

  • Key Chassis Features: Heavy-duty body-on-frame high-tensile steel construction engineered to withstand extreme torsional twisting while completely isolating the cabin from surface vibrations.

Offroad Capability

  • System Tech: Multi-Terrain Select (MTS) featuring 5 terrain modes, Crawl Control, Variable Gear-Ratio Steering (VGRS), and electronic ride-height raising up to an extra 90 mm.

  • Kenyan Terrain Suitability: Absolute master of local conditions; the hydraulic lift allows the heavy luxury barge to easily float over severe mud ruts, rocky riverbeds, or heavily eroded tarmac bypasses without scratching the bronze body panels.

Price and Market Info

Region Price Range Currency USD
Kenya (Locally Used) 13,800,000 – 15,500,000 KSh $107,800 – $121,000

Summary

The 2018 Lexus LX450d V8 Diesel remains one of the ultimate rolling symbols of wealth and security, trading at a premium due to its unstoppable twin-turbo diesel torque and supreme Land Cruiser heritage. While the price on this locally driven asset is negotiable, its structural reliability remains steadfast if the active height-control suspension has been carefully preserved by the previous owner. It offers unmatched comfort and elite bulletproof reliability, serving as an exceptional buy for executives seeking luxury without the steep fuel costs of its petrol sibling.
