Lexus LX brings luxury with everyday usability

Lexus has revised the LX 700h to include a new model at the expense of the previous range-topping VIP grade.

Positioned below off-road devised Overtrail, which also becomes the new overall flagship LX variant, the Urban differs mostly aesthetically from the model it replaces, though it now seats five instead of four.

Compared to the VIP, the Urban's exterior changes comprise a chrome and stainless grille, new 22-inch alloy wheels and body-coloured mirror caps.
