2025 Lexus LX700h Overtrail Review
from Drive Radio · host John Rush
What happens when Lexus turns its legendary off-road heritage into a luxury hybrid powerhouse? Is the 2025 Lexus LX700h Overtrail the ultimate blend of capability, refinement, and high-altitude performance? And why is the hybrid system changing the game for Colorado drivers? Richard Rush takes the wheel and puts Lexus’s flagship SUV to the test—33-inch all-terrain tires, locking differentials, dual touchscreens, massaging seats, and a quiet cabin built for both mountain trails and mile-high commutes. But is this luxury off-roader really worth its six-figure price tag? And does its “nanny” driver-assist system help… or drive you crazy? From real-world fuel economy to everyday drivability at altitude, this review asks the questions serious buyers want answered—without giving away the verdict. Is the LX700h the most capable luxury SUV on the market? Does the hybrid torque transform the old-school powertrain? And is the second row roomy enough for modern families? Find out in this week’s new-car review. Have a question about a car review or a general automotive question?
