Lexus is launching a new LX SUV with a “rugged” hybrid engine that’s capable of surviving some watery excursions. The LX 700h is equipped with a 3.5L V6 twin-turbo hybrid system with a waterproof battery and a divider that helps prevent water ingress to the engine,

For 2025, Lexus is adding the LX700h hybrid to the LX's lineup that, until now, has included only the non-hybrid LX600. The LX700h takes the same 3.4-liter twin-turbo V-6 as the LX600, and adds those aforementioned electric bits, namely an electric motor between the engine and transmission and a nickel-metal hydride battery under its rear floor.

Three locking diffs and a backup starter make the 2025 Lexus LX 700h Overtrail more capable to ferry you to adventure - and back. The post The Land Cruiser We Want: 2025 Lexus LX 700h Overtrail Hybrid appeared first on GearJunkie.
