Lexus, the luxury arm of Toyota has a handful of luxury SUVs and sedans it’s been notable for over the years. These Lexus SUVs are some of the highly sought-after and they have gained massive popularity, with many of them in high demand among wealthy people.
In this article, we will look at the top seven most expensive Lexus cars you will find in Nigeria today. To know more about the SUVs, sedans and sports cars that made it to the list, keep reading below.
- The Lexus LFA (N2 Billion)
Even though it’s no longer available, this remains the most expensive Lexus car. But no one can forget the iconic LFA. Its outrageous performance and extroverted styling flew in the face of every stately yet demure Lexus released up until that point.
The 4.8-liter V10 engine co-developed with Yamaha in the LFA is a masterpiece, producing 553 hp. Revving to 9,000 rpm, it’s one of the best-sounding engines ever made, and that engine is housed in a chassis and body largely fashioned from carbon-fibre composite.
Experts note that in 2023, a rare LFA Nurburgring Edition sold for $1.625 million. Another LFA Nurburgring Edition has a bid currently sitting at $1.72 million.
- The Lexus LX 600 (N350 Million and Above)
The Lexus LX600 is one of the most popular and expensive Lexus SUVs in Nigeria. It is the largest SUV from Lexus that replaced the ageing but tough LX 570. Regardless of which LX you get, all have an imposing design with a prominent grille that buyers of this sort of vehicle seem to love so much.
All LX 600s have a 3.4-litre twin-turbo V6 producing 409 hp and 479 lb-ft of torque, which can hustle the large SUV to 60 mph in under seven seconds. It can also tow up to 8,000 pounds while returning better gas mileage than the LX 570’s thirsty V8.
The LX can seat between four and seven occupants, and semi-aniline leather is available. All models have power-adjustable and heated front seats, a 12.3-inch touchscreen, and an eight-inch gauge cluster. Depending on the trim, you can get the LX with Hadori aluminium, open-pore wood, or Takanoha wood trim. Overall, build quality remains up to the high standards of the brand.
- Lexus GX (N210 Million and Above)
The highs of the Lexus GX are its ability to tackle off-road trails, its plenty of standard driver-assistance features, and its surprisingly hushed cabin but the lows are its uncomfortable rear seats, lack of cargo space with the third row in use, and dated design. All in all, the verdict is that if you need serious off-road capability in your mid-size luxury SUV, the GX is one of the few choices available. Due to its many features, the vehicle is regarded as one of the most expensive Lexus SUVs that is sold in Nigeria starting at N210 million.
- Lexus RC F Track Edition (N120 Million and Above)
Experts note that the RC F Track Edition commands a staggering premium over the normal RC F. Both of these coupes have a brilliant 5.0-litre V8 making 472 hp, but the RC F Track Edition is a little quicker, reaching 60 mph in 3.96 seconds. For the extra outlay, the Track Edition also has carbon-ceramic brakes, ultra-lightweight forged alloy wheels, black Alcantara and carbon fibre trim, and carbon fibre exterior components.
The thing is, if you’re spending six figures and want a comfortable coupe, you’re much better off getting the more upscale LC 500.
- The Lexus LC 500 (N120 Million and Above)
Besides the 500h hybrid, all LC 500s have a 5.0-litre naturally aspirated V8 with 471 hp and a Grammy-worthy exhaust note. The LC excels as a highway cruiser, even though a base Porsche 911 is quicker and much more agile. The 911 doesn’t have the LC’s gorgeously striking lines, rich interior furnishings, and a V8.
Depending on the trim, customers can choose from leather or Alcantara upholstery for the seats, with Deep Blue semi-aniline leather on the Inspiration Series. There are quicker cars that will set superior lap times at the same price, but the LC 500 makes such antics seem trivial. This car is such a feast for the senses that we think it’s worth the price.
- Lexus TX 550h+ Luxury (N100 Million and Above)
The new three-row Lexus TX is an excellent family SUV, although the cheaper Toyota Grand Highlander is nearly as good. This plug-in hybrid SUV makes 404 hp combined and has a claimed all-electric range of 33 miles. Seating six, it has an interior finished in semi-aniline leather and includes features like thematic ambient illumination, multi-zone climate control, heated/ventilated seats in the first two rows, a power-folding third row, and a 21-speaker Mark Levinson sound system.
