Lexus’ Flagship SUV Returns for 2026 with an F SPORT Appearance Package
The Lexus LX has always stood as the brand’s ultimate expression of refinement, power, and all-terrain mastery. For 2026, Lexus takes its flagship SUV to greater heights, combining luxury and performance with minor refinements across the lineup and the introduction of an exclusive F SPORT Appearance Package.
F SPORT Appearance Package: Elevating Bold Design
Available only on the LX 700h F SPORT Handling, the new F SPORT Appearance Package adds subtle yet powerful design touches. These include:
- Color-keyed front and rear bumper accents
- Black outside mirror covers
- Black rear spoiler winglets
- Color-keyed running board accents
This package amplifies the LX’s sporty and commanding presence, signaling Lexus’ intent to blend elegance with athleticism.
Five-Grade Lineup for Every Lifestyle
The 2026 Lexus LX continues to be offered in five distinctive grades:
- Premium
- F SPORT Handling
- Luxury
- Ultra Luxury
- Overtrail
Each grade is carefully tuned for different customers, from city-focused luxury drivers to adventurers who demand off-road dominance.
Overtrail: Rugged Luxury Meets Adventure
For enthusiasts who live for exploration, the LX Overtrail returns with additional off-road hardware and unique styling. Features include:
- Front and rear locking differentials
- 2,400W AC inverter

- Matte gray grille, black overfenders, and dark chrome accents
Inside, buyers will find semi-aniline leather trim in Black or Stone Brown, with Black Open Pore wood accents for a rugged yet luxurious feel.
GA-F Platform: Strength and Refinement
Built on Lexus’ GA-F platform, the 2026 LX delivers improved body rigidity, handling, and durability. Engineering refinements, such as repositioning the spare tire to accommodate the hybrid battery, ensure the LX balances off-road toughness with on-road comfort. A redesigned cab mount cushion further reduces vibrations, making the ride even more refined.
Powertrain Options: Gasoline or Hybrid
- LX 600: Powered by a 3.4L twin-turbo V6 producing 409 hp and 479 lb-ft of torque.
- LX 700h: Hybrid variant with a twin-turbocharged 3.4L V6 paired with an electric motor, delivering 457 hp, 583 lb-ft of torque, and improved 20 MPG combined fuel economy.
Both versions are paired with a 10-speed Direct Shift Automatic Transmission, tuned for smooth yet responsive shifts in every scenario.
Off-Road Technology for UAE Adventures
The LX has always been a favorite in the UAE for its blend of comfort and desert prowess. The 2026 model expands on this heritage with:
- Multi-Terrain Select & Monitor
- Crawl Control with Turn Assist
- Downhill Assist Control
- Active Height Control & Adaptive Variable Suspension
- 27.5-inch water fording capability on LX 700h hybrid
These features make the LX equally at home navigating Dubai’s roads as it is conquering the Liwa Desert.

Meanwhile, the F SPORT Handling offers a sportier edge with 22-inch forged aluminum wheels, jet-black mesh spindle grille, performance dampers, and uniquely tuned suspension for sharper on-road performance.
Technology and Safety: Smarter Than Ever
The 2026 LX is equipped with the latest Lexus Interface, featuring a 12.3-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, cloud navigation, and intelligent assistant voice control.
All grades now include Lexus Safety System+ 3.0, with features such as:
