Plush confines
Healthy V-8 power
Comfy ride
Off-road capable

Cramped third row
Frustrating infotainment

Lexus's largest SUV rolls into 2021 with a few changes. A new Sport package is available on the three-row model, which adds unique exterior styling, 21-inch wheels, and either an Eminent White Pearl, Black Onyx, or Atomic Silver paint job. Also available on the three-row model is the Inspiration Series #2 package, which blacks out most of the LX's exterior trim and adds 21-inch black wheels, smoked lenses for the exterior lighting elements, black badging, and Rioja Red semi-aniline leather upholstery.

Pros
Legit off-roading chops, posh interior, plenty of space for people and cargo.

Cons
Fuel efficient it is not, trucky on-road driving demeanor, steep entry price.
