Lexus has updated the LX in Japan with a new F Sport treatment, extending the performance-oriented designation to the brand's flagship SUV. The model-year revision also brings handling-focused changes to the premium off-roader.
The LX is Lexus's closely related premium counterpart to the Toyota Land Cruiser, combining luxury positioning with the underlying attributes expected of a large, capable SUV. The Japanese-market update signals a greater emphasis on on-road driving character without changing that core role.
F Sport expands the LX range
The arrival of an F Sport version gives Japanese buyers a more dynamic-looking and handling-oriented LX option within the range. Lexus has paired the new grade with revisions intended to improve the vehicle's responses.
Detailed specifications for the Japanese update have not been outlined in the available information. The changes were first reported by Carscoops, which described the update as a model-year refresh for the Land Cruiser's luxury sibling.
