Lexus LX

CarDekho Verdict

Priced at Rs 2.32 crore ex-showroom Delhi, the LX 450d is not the most luxurious option for the money. The Range Rover Vogue offers a more premium experience and is also a capable off-roader itself. Additionally, if you want a luxury SUV, the Mercedes GLS or Audi Q7 offer a lot for a lot less. Also, if all you want is a big toy, the Range Rover Sport SVR and Porsche Cayenne Turbo are actually more affordable.

However, if you are looking for a capable, well-equipped SUV that makes a statement everywhere it goes, the LX deserves a place on your shopping list. Importantly, Lexus cars come with the promise of hassle-free ownership experience. Something it has already proven in markets overseas, which accounts for a BIG part of its asking price.

This is an aspect that hasn’t always been a strong point for its European counterparts. As a car, the LX 450d is certainly priced at a serious premium, but Lexus promises to offer ownership expenses half that of its rivals and an overall ownership experience that will make you hold on to your car for longer. We’ve already seen Toyota live up to that reputation and have enough reason to believe Lexus will be no different, especially since the dealer network belongs to existing Toyota retailers. It may not be the best car for the money, but when you consider the whole package, the LX starts to make sense.
