View Details
The Lexus LX 500d is a full‑size luxury SUV that uses a powerful 3.3‑litre twin‑turbo diesel V6 to give strong low‑end torque and efficient cruising, while keeping the same rugged, off‑road‑ready chassis as the petrol LX 600. It is aimed at buyers who want a flagship 4x4 with lower fuel consumption and more pulling power than the V8 LX 570, especially in markets where diesels are more common and fuel‑cost‑sensitive.
Full‑size, seven‑seat 4x4 layout
The LX 500d is a five‑door, body‑on‑frame SUV about 5.09 metres long, with a 2.85‑metre wheelbase and a tall, boxy stance that gives high ground clearance (around 205 mm) and good approach/departure angles for off‑road work. It typically seats five, six, or seven, depending on trim and market, with three‑row configurations on higher variants and a large boot around 1,100–1,200 litres behind the third row (up to about 1,900 litres with rear seats folded). The 110‑litre fuel tank supports long‑range desert or highway travel.
3.3‑litre twin‑turbo diesel V6
The LX 500d uses a 3.3‑litre (3,346 cc) V6 twin‑turbo diesel engine rated at about 227 kW (301–304 hp) and 700 Nm of torque between 1,600–2,600 rpm. Power is sent through a 10‑speed automatic transmission and full‑time four‑wheel drive with a dual‑range transfer case, so it has strong low‑range capability for rock‑crawling, sand, and steep trails. The diesel motor is tuned for refinement and quietness, but its main advantage is massive torque at low revs, making towing and uphill driving very effortless.
Strong off‑road ability with diesel efficiency
Like the LX range, the LX 500d runs on body‑on‑frame construction with multi‑link front and multi‑link rear suspension, plus adaptive air suspension on many trims. It typically includes Multi‑Terrain Select, Crawl Control, Hill‑Descent Control, Hill‑Start Assist, 360‑camera, and a 4‑mode drive selector. The diesel‑power layout pushes 0–100 km/h in roughly 7.8–8.0 seconds, which is slower than the LX 600 petrol, but fuel consumption is meaningfully better, around 8.9–11.5 L/100 km (roughly 9–11 km/l) in mixed use instead of the 12–13 L/100 km of the petrol V6.
Premium, tech‑heavy interior
Inside, the LX 500d is a top‑level luxury SUV: soft leather or semi‑aniline upholstery, real wood or open‑pore trim, heated/ventilated front seats, four‑zone climate control, rear‑seat entertainment, and a large 12‑inch central touchscreen with voice control, navigation, and smartphone integration. Rear‑seat screens, ambient lighting, and a Mark Levinson‑grade audio system are common on higher trims, while safety includes adaptive cruise, lane‑keeping, blind‑spot monitoring, rear‑cross‑traffic alert, trailer‑stability control, and around 10 airbags, depending on market.
Ideal for diesel‑oriented luxury‑SUV buyers
The Lexus LX 500d suits off‑road‑focused business owners, executives, and fleet‑oriented buyers who want a full‑size, seven‑seat luxury SUV with strong low‑end torque, better fuel economy than a petrol V8, and serious off‑road credentials. It works well as a VIP family transport, long‑range touring vehicle, and desert/gelande‑style 4x4, giving you a flagship Lexus experience built around a smooth, torque‑rich diesel V6 rather than a large V8.
