Interesting LX news floating around this week... It's been reported that Lexus has filed a trademark for the LX 700h, implying that it might join the Sequoia in offering the hybrid iForceMAX powertrain -- https://www.clublexus.com/articles/l...of-luxury-suv/

Having driven the LX 600 Ultra Luxury (hoping to get an F Sport in about a month) and the Tundra TRD Pro, I have been very surprised that Lexus didn't offer its more powerful engine on its flagship SUV, so hopefully, this'll make things more interesting.

 

Meh.... I'll wait for the LX1000h+.

 

don't call it LX700h if it only have 450hp.....should just rename it to LX500h or something

 

You forgot F-Sport

 

great so it can be just as disappointing as the sequoia?

 

i-FORCE MAX

 

are these iforce max engines made in japan?
i figured they need to be if they will go in the LX. tundras and sequoias are made stateside but can get either japanese or american powerplants. i don't see american powerplants powering japanese assembled vehicles...but i could be wrong.

 

usually made in Japan. Early Tundras used Japan made 4.7 motors. I guess you never know.

 

It is not going to be exactly current iForceMax, there will be differences.

 

should just be a V8

 

It's so sad they chose to go with the German and they are actually worse.

 

- iForce Pro Max.

 

fun fact: the civic type-r is made in Japan and has an American made engine.

I think the last gen Mazda cx-9 was the same way.

 

according to lexus' website, the lx600 STARTS at 90,660. the first package up from base adds $8k, and it goes all the way to over $130k

so what will this lx700h go for!? probably start at 110k ?

 

Just get the sequoia. Same poor interior packaging and probably similar interior quality.
