Verdict
At RM1.54 million each, there is no pricier-trim calculation to make: the Lexus LX F Sport and Lexus LX Urban carry the same 415 hp, 650 Nm hybrid V6, 10-speed automatic and all-wheel drive, with an identical 0-100 km/h time of 6.5 seconds. For a Malaysian buyer, the decision is cabin use. The Urban’s seven seats suit regular family or chauffeur duty, while the F Sport makes do with five but gets a sunroof. With both rated at 10 L/100 km and carrying the same RM2,352 annual road tax, choose by seating and roof preference, not performance.
Pick the Lexus LX F Sport if a sunroof matters more to you than having a third row of seats.
Pick the Lexus LX Urban if you need seven seats without giving up the same 415 hp hybrid powertrain.
