2022 Lexus LX 570 release date

The LX is a flagship model, although it is one of the oldest in the lineup. The bold look and aggressive appearance are eye-catching. The interior is full of advanced and hi-tech features. Under the hood, we can find a mighty 5.7-liter V8 engine. What else do you need from a full-size luxury SUV? Well, Toyota is ready to take the 2022 Lexus LX 570 to another level.

After more than 10 years, fans will see the large redesign. Enthusiasts expected to see the new LX for the past several years. Still, the move is a lot closer now and we have clues. The company filed for the registration of the new nameplate – LX600. A lot of questions is surrounding this inquire, but Toyota and Lexus’s bosses are quiet about plans.

There are a few options and speculations. Let’s check them out.

2022 Lexus LX 570

2022 Lexus LX 570 Will be Unchanged

Every theory is based on the LX600. If the new model is coming, then there is no reason to redesign the old one. The 2022 Lexus LX 570 will be unchanged. The full-size luxury SUV is going to offer all the same features as before. A two-row model is the base trim, while the third row is optional. You can also add several other gadgets. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard. Under the hood remains a thirsty V8. Well, the gas mileage is the only reason to see it out. This engine is one of the most reliable units in the full-size segment and makes a difference in Toyota’s favor. If the LX arrives the same, that will be another wasted year and sales are already down.

LX600 is Replacing LX570

The new nameplate is in the process of registration. That is all the official stuff we know about it. But, enough to start speculating. Like you already know, Lexus is using numbers in nameplates to indicate the displacement of the engine (GX460, RX350, etc.). But, there is a big question – is LX600 going to use a 6.0-liter engine? We doubt since the 5.7 is too thirsty and the next model needs to fix the gas mileage. You don’t do that by making the powertrain larger.

Also, fans have a different theory – the number indicates the power output. It is hard to believe, but let’s analyze it for a minute. The LX600 won’t be the first full-size SUV with 600+ ponies under the hood. Lexus can add it as the performance model to compete against BMW X5M and Mercedes GLS AMG. The entire lineup will benefit from the move since the ad will raise the interest for the standard model as well.

New Engine

The 2022 Lexus LX 570 is about to get a new engine, for sure. The I-Force Max is another file we can find in the process of registration at the Patent and Trademark Office. Again, it didn’t take too long for enthusiasts to find out what’s hiding behind this one. It is a new engine, probably a twin-turbo V8. Such a configuration can make 600 ponies. Again, we believe the company is after a more efficient unit.

The powerplant will most likely debut in the 2022 Toyota Tundra, which will hit the new generation. If it is good for the half-ton pickup, then we see the I-Force Max as an option for the LX and Land Cruiser as well. These vehicles are also sharing a current 5.7-liter mill.

Next-Gen SUV

The new generation of the LX model was not scheduled until 2024. But, the drop in sales causes Toyota and Lexus to reconsider the big update after 15 years. The SUV is old, although it still looks tough. Most rivals are a step ahead with technologies, and LX is boring with the same old design and powertrains. Changes are drawing attention and the new generation will make an immediate impact. Still, the focus is on the models that sells better, such as Tundra truck, RX, Highlander and 4Runner SUVs, and compact crossovers.

According to some sources, the first vehicles to hit the new generation will be Tundra and 4Runner. Lexus RX, Highlander, and GX will follow in 2023, while full-size luxury SUVs won’t be there until 2024. But, last season both LX and Land Cruiser were at the bottom of the sales charts, and the company will speed up the development of the next series of big rigs.

When Will 2022 Lexus LX 570 Be Available?

The 2022 Lexus LX 570, or LX600, will have the first appearance as soon as the USPTO gives a green light to the new nameplate. There is a bigger chance that the fresh model will be performance-oriented, while the standard LX570 will serve as the base trim. This can take a while and experts assume the debut of the upcoming SUVs is not happening before the third quarter of 2021.
