In terms of design, the Lexus LX looks like the older model, while retaining the wheelbase as well as approach and departure angles. Up front, the LX gets a large signature grille with a large Lexus logo at the centre. The LED headlights have been updated with a sleeker DRL pattern as well.

The side profile of the 2022 Lexus LX remains largely the same, save for more pronounced and squared-off wheel arches. The window line gets chrome accents sweeping upwards as it progresses towards the rear of the SUV. The India-spec model features 22-inch multi-spoke alloy wheels. At the rear, the LX gets sleeker LED taillights with a connecting bar accompanied by a flat tailgate design and a large rear window.

On the inside, the Lexus LX gets all the latest technology one can expect from an SUV of this class. Taking the centre stage on the dashboard is a floating 12.3-inch touchscreen display, which sits atop another 7-inch display. The smaller touchscreen is responsible for managing the various offroad modes and ride-height control. While the LX is a fairly large SUV, the India-spec Lexus LX comes with a 5-seat option only.
