Sure, ₦380 million sounds steep, but dig a little deeper, and you’ll see why serious car buyers are putting their money on this luxury SUV.
Built for Nigerian Roads – Smooth in Lekki, Strong in Enugu
Most luxury SUVs struggle once they leave smooth city roads like Abuja, The Lexus LX 600? It handles Lagos rough roads without breaking a sweat. Thanks to a powerful 3.4-litre twin-turbo V6 engine pushing out 409 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque, it easily pulls through Ikeja traffic and glides over pothole-ridden backroads.
The 10-speed automatic gearbox is smooth, and when you hit uneven terrain, systems like Crawl Control, Multi-Terrain Select, and Adaptive Suspension kick in to keep your ride balanced. Whether you’re navigating Lekki’s flooded roads or the winding hill paths in Jos, this SUV adapts quickly.
Luxury that Feels Honest – Not Flashy
Inside the LX 600, Lexus has managed to create a space that feels expensive but not loud. It’s all soft leather (semi-aniline, if you want to be technical), dark wood trims, and a well-laid-out cabin. There’s enough space for a full Nigerian family and some luggage—even with the third row in use.
Highlights include:
- Mark Levinson 25-speaker sound system – crisp, clean, immersive.
- Heated and ventilated seats (front and rear) – useful during Harmattan or heatwaves.
- Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto – because cords are outdated.
- A refrigerated cool box – yes, to keep your drinks cold on the go.
It’s Not Just Fancy, It’s Safe
Lexus didn’t forget that Nigerian roads are unpredictable. The LX 600 is fitted with Lexus Safety System+ 2.5, which includes:
- Blind spot monitoring – very helpful in busy areas like CMS or Berger.
- Pre-collision system with pedestrian detection – essential when okadas and street hawkers appear out of nowhere.
- Surround-view cameras – great for parking in tight spaces, especially in Lagos malls.
Still a Smart Investment
It might seem like a “show-off car,” but there’s real value under the hood. Lexus models are known for lasting years with minimal issues. Even used LX 570s from 2010 still sell for upwards of ₦45 million today. Imagine what this LX 600 will hold five years down the line.
Plus, let’s not lie: in Nigeria, your car says a lot about you. And the LX 600 says everything without needing to say too much.
Final Thoughts: Is It Worth ₦380 Million?
Yes, and not just because it’s luxurious. The 2024 Lexus LX 600 checks the boxes: comfort, power, space, durability, and status. It’s built for Nigeria. If you’ve got the means and you want something that stands out but still works day-to-day, this might just be the smartest “extravagant” purchase you’ll make.
