2021 Lexus LX Gains New Inspiration Series And Updated Sport Package

The Lexus LX is entering the 2021 model year with a handful of updates and a new limited edition package.

Changes are relatively limited, but the luxury SUV gains Amazon Alexa compatibility as well as newly available Glazed Caramel upholstery. The exterior color palette has also been updated as customers can select a new Nori Green Pearl paint job.

The LX’s Sport Package has been updated as well and it now features a revised grille and a better-looking front bumper. The package also includes new 21-inch forged alloy wheels.

The rest of package carries over, so buyers will also find a sportier rear valance, additional body-color components and side mirrors with chrome accents. Inside, there’s a black headliner and semi-aniline leather seats.

The big news for 2021 is the LX Inspiration Series which is limited to 500 units.

Available exclusively in Black Onyx or White Pearl, the limited edition embraces the blackout trend as it features a black grille, tinted lighting units, black window frames and black chrome trim. The model also has black badging, black door handles and 21-inch alloy wheels with a black finish.

Inside, the three-row SUV has exclusive black semi-aniline leather seats with Rioja Red accents. The model also has a black headliner, special floor mats and unique key gloves.

All LXs are powered by a 5.7-liter V8 engine that produces 383 hp (286 kW / 388 PS) and 403 lb-ft (546 Nm) of torque. It is connected to an eight-speed automatic transmission which is paired to a four-wheel-drive system with a limited-slip center differential.

Lexus didn’t mention pricing, but the 2021 LX will likely arrive at U.S. dealerships later this year.
