2026 Range Rover vs. Lexus LX Comparison with Price, Specs, & Photos

Range Rover vs. Lexus LX Comparison with Price, Specs, & Photos
The Range Rover doesn’t have many competitors. Not a lot of manufacturers offer a full-size SUV with genuine off-road capability, and if you’re looking for one with an available hybrid drivetrain, the list gets even shorter. But there is one big competitor, the Lexus LX. While it hasn’t been around as long as the Range Rover, the LX was the first Lexus SUV, and remains the flagship SUV model of the fleet. It’s clearly meant to compete with the original luxury SUV, the Range Rover, so let’s see how they compare.

Since the available hybrid drivetrains in these vehicles help to set them apart from the competition, those are the versions we’re looking at here. Though similarly priced, there are some major differences, mainly with the type of hybrid drivetrain in each vehicle. The LX offers a conventional hybrid drivetrain, one that improves fuel economy somewhat (although not as much as you might expect), and gives the LX a bit more low-end torque. The Range Rover, on the other hand, is offered with a plug-in hybrid drivetrain, which allows for all-electric driving up to 21 miles on a full charge. The Range Rover also makes more horsepower, a lot more, and even though torque ratings are similar, the 0-60 time for the Range Rover is in an entirely different league than the LX. Fuel economy is also better in the Range Rover, to the point that it means half as many trips to the gas station, which is always appreciated.

Range Rover VS Lexus LX – Customization

In the world of luxury vehicles, customization is an important part of the buying process. This tends to be especially important to British luxury brands, and you can very much see it in the options available for the Range Rover. While the LX does come in a choice of five paint colors, that’s a long way off from the 30 offered for the Range Rover. Wheels on the LX are tied to trim level, so there’s no changing without also changing trim. The Range Rover, on the other hand, has a full range of wheel designs, with even the base SE trim giving you eight designs to choose from. There are three interior color options for the LX, with interior trim tied to upholstery colors. The Range Rover SE has seven upholstery options and three trim veneer options, as well as two options for the headliner, all of which can be selected separately. Lastly, the Range Rover is offered with two different wheelbase lengths and seating configurations for four, five, or seven. The LX has only one wheelbase/seat configuration.

Range Rover SV Mosaic Marquetry

The Top trim of the LX is the Ultra Luxury, which is priced to compete with the Range Rover Autobiography. But for those who want something a bit more special, there is the Range Rover SV, which has no Lexus equivalent. It comes with a more powerful version of the available V8 engine, as well as unique paint colors and interior options like ceramic controls and trim with inlays or marquetry. The SV Bespoke program is also available with this special version of the Range Rover, allowing you to specify custom paint colors and other uniquely tailored features. It’s the sort of thing that you won’t find on the LX, or any Lexus model.

Winner – Range Rover

While the Lexus LX can offer a lot that the competition doesn’t, it falls short when compared to the Range Rover. Not only does the Range Rover offer more and more powerful drivetrain choices, but more choices throughout the vehicle. It’s the difference between an off-the-rack luxury experience and something bespoke and made to your tastes. But as with any luxury experience, it has to be experienced in person to be appreciated. Land Rover South Hills is here to help you pick out your Range Rover.
