Size is an important factor when evaluating a luxury SUV, such as the Lexus LX. Vehicle size influences everything from interior comfort to off-road capability to ease of parking. Larger dimensions provide more load and passenger room, but height and clearance can impact drivability and access. Being aware of these dimensions will help you select a model that suits your daily driving needs, whether for commuting, hauling, or off-road excursions. Our Longo Lexus team in El Monte, California, has prepared this guide to help you understand how big the Lexus LX is.

The 2025 Lexus LX
The 2025 Lexus LX is sold with two powertrains — the LX 600 and the hybrid LX 700h — and five trim levels: Premium (LX 600 only), F Sport Handling, Luxury, Ultra Luxury (LX 700h only), and Overtrail (LX 700h only). Each trim level has the same dimensions.
Exterior Dimensions of the Lexus LX
So, how big is the Lexus LX? Measuring 200.5 inches in length, 78 inches in width, and 75 inches in height, the LX has a stocky, robust profile with ample interior space for passengers or cargo. With a solid 112.2-inch wheelbase, the LX delivers a stable and comfortable ride. Its 8-inch ground clearance supports its off-road capabilities while also making it easier for you to get in and out of the car.
The LX features attention-grabbing styling and imposing road presence, balancing luxury and capability for different driving applications. Its exterior, with its carved contours and bold grille, suggests power and luxury to support its position as the ultimate premium SUV, whether navigating city streets or rural trails.
Interior Dimensions of the Lexus LX
The Lexus LX features a spacious, comfortable, and versatile interior that combines craftsmanship and ergonomics to provide generous room for passengers in all three rows. All models can seat up to seven passengers, depending on the configuration. Whether you’re traveling with family or friends, the cabin layout ensures everyone enjoys a comfortable ride, with available second-row captain’s chairs and a power-folding third row of seats adding further flexibility.
Front passengers enjoy 37.8 inches of headroom, 41.1 inches of legroom, and 61.4 inches of shoulder room; rear passengers in the second row enjoy 39 inches of headroom, 36.6 inches of legroom, and 58.8 inches of shoulder room, ensuring ample space for adults on longer trips. The third row is best suited for children or shorter journeys.
Lexus LX Cargo Space and Storage Options
The Lexus LX combines luxury with practicality, featuring a thoughtfully designed cargo area that you can adapt to your needs, whether packing for a weekend getaway or loading up for daily errands. Behind the third row, the LX provides 11 cubic feet of cargo space, ideal for smaller items or light luggage. With the third-row seats folded down, you can access 44 cubic feet of space, perfect for bulkier items, groceries, or suitcases. Folding down both the second and third rows unlocks the LX’s maximum cargo capacity of 64 cubic feet, ample room for large hauls.
The LX features 60/40-split folding second-row seats and 50/50-split folding third-row seats, allowing you to vary cargo and passenger configurations. Tie-down hooks, underfloor storage compartments, and optional cargo organizers help secure and manage your items. The power tailgate adds convenience, especially when loading or unloading with your hands full. Here are a few practical tips for maximizing cargo capacity in your LX:
- Fold down the unused rows of seats to expand the available space.
- Use cargo nets or bins to keep smaller items organized.
- Make use of the underfloor storage for valuables or emergency gear.
- Load heavier items first and secure them with built-in hooks for safety.
Towing and Payload Capacities
The Lexus LX is built to handle luxurious and heavy-duty road trips. Its impressive towing and payload capabilities make it a powerful companion for towing boats, trailers, or weekend toys. When properly equipped, the 2025 Lexus LX boasts a maximum towing capacity of up to 8,000 pounds, allowing you to tow medium- to large-sized trailers, such as boats, campers, or utility trailers, with confidence. Features such as trailer sway control, a heavy-duty hitch, and a towing-specific drive mode are available to ensure a stable and smooth towing experience across various terrains.
The LX supports a substantial payload, up to 1,565 pounds, including passengers, cargo, and any gear loaded inside the vehicle. Staying within this limit helps maintain optimal ride quality, braking performance, and overall vehicle control, especially when towing. Overloading can affect handling and wear on key components, so you must balance payload and towing loads carefully.
Engine Specifications and Performance Metrics
There are two engine options for the 2025 Lexus LX. The LX 600 is powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.4-liter V-6 engine that produces 409 horsepower, paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission and standard four-wheel drive. The LX 700h builds on that foundation with a hybrid system, adding an electric motor and battery pack to boost total output to 457 horsepower.
Fuel Economy and Efficiency
The LX 600 delivers EPA-estimated fuel economy ratings of 17 mpg in the city, 22 mpg on the highway, and 19 mpg combined. If you’re seeking enhanced efficiency without sacrificing performance, the LX 700h achieves 19 mpg in the city, 22 mpg on the highway, and 20 mpg combined. Factors such as driving habits, terrain, vehicle load, and tire condition all influence fuel efficiency. Aggressive acceleration, frequent stops, and heavy towing reduce fuel economy, while smooth driving and proper vehicle maintenance help optimize it.
