2020 Lexus LX vs. 2020 Toyota Landcruiser

The 2020 Lexus LX is a superb car by any definition. Its spacious cabin as well as plush seats that cocoon you in pure luxury. Outside the creature comforts, the Lexus LX comes with a host of safety features that ensure that you are safe and that you get a great driving experience.

The 2020 Toyota Landcruiser is a little more spartan than its Lexus cousin, perhaps harking back to its utilitarian ancestry. However, Toyota has worked hard to give the interior a comfortable feel. The Toyota Landcruiser has an equally spacious cabin and fairly comfortable interior. It doesn’t, however, exude the same luxurious feel that the Lexus does.

Design & Style

The Lexus LX is designed to give the driver and passengers the ultimate experience when it comes to luxury. The bold grille stands out and makes the presence of the car known. The back of the car has also been redone and features an even bolder look than the previous models. The LX comes with 21-inch spoke alloy wheels to offer a firmer grip on the road. The interior features an audio system with 19-speakers, leather seats, and a host of other features.

The 2020 Toyota Landcruiser has also been revised to make it more stylish and comfortable. The 2020 model keeps its enhanced grill at the front. However, not much has been done on the back so the car looks very much the same. The 2020 Toyota Landcruiser comes with a host of safety features including pedestrian-detection system but they don’t quite match up to the Lexus LX.

Technology & Safety

When it comes to technology and safety, the Lexus LX is streets ahead of the Toyota Landcruiser. The LX features the latest in head-up display, making it easier for the driver to keep his or her eyes on the road. The Lexus LX also comes with a 12.3-inch screen infotainment system that outclasses the 9.0-inch screen found in the Toyota Landcruiser. You can also opt to get weather and traffic updates through the voice-activated navigation system.

The Toyota Landcruiser also has an excellent technology package that features the Safety Sense package that offers driver assistance. However, the 2020 Landcruiser trails the Lexus in some important areas. For example, the infotainment screen has poor resolution and the cabin lacks any power outlets.

Performance

The Lexus LX comes with a 5.7-liter V8 engine that turns out 383 horsepower. This powerful engine means that the Lexus LX can easily tow heavy items. The LX moves from zero to 60 in just about 7.2 seconds which is pretty impressive for such a large vehicle.

The Toyota Landcruiser, on the other hand, comes with a similar sized engine. It features a 5.7-liter V-8 engine powered by an 8-speed automatic transmission. You can expect to get at least 381 horsepower from the Toyota Landcruiser.

The Bottom Line

Although both of these cars have a lot in common, the Lexus LX edges out the Toyota Landcruiser when it comes to comfort, power, and technology.
