Lexus Sets Australian Price for LX700h Hybrid Flagship Ahead of 2026 Launch

The single‑motor hybrid prioritises higher output and lower emissions over cargo space and fuel capacity.

Overview

Priced from $196,000 before on-road costs, the LX700h comes as Sports Luxury (five or seven seats) and F Sport (five seats) and commands about $19,700 over the equivalent LX500d and $16,200 over the LX600.
A twin‑turbo 3.5‑litre V6 pairs with a 36kW/250Nm motor for combined outputs of 341kW/790Nm, enabling EV-only low‑speed operation and refined off‑road throttle control while retaining full‑time 4WD, low range and a 3500kg tow rating.
Lexus quotes 10.0L/100km combined and roughly 17.5% lower CO2 than the LX600 (about 227g/km), though efficiency remains behind the LX500d’s 8.9L/100km claim.
Hybrid packaging cuts five‑seat cargo capacity to 889L and reduces the main tank from 80L to 68L, with the 30L sub‑tank retained.
Hybrid models add a 1500W mains inverter and a cargo outlet, the Enhancement Pack becomes standard on LX500d/LX600 Luxury with a $5500 price rise, the LX600 Ultra Luxury is discontinued, and first deliveries are due in the first half of 2026.
