The hybrid Lexus LX costs $4,000 more than the gas version, tows exactly the same 8,000 pounds, and makes 48 more horsepower. For most buyers that’s a fair trade. The catch is that the 2027 LX700h doesn’t come in the cheap Premium trim, so the real entry price is $118,055, not the $109,050 Lexus advertises for the LX family.
Quick answer: The 2027 Lexus LX 700h starts at $118,055 for the Overtrail and runs to $143,350 for the Ultra Luxury, including the $1,550 delivery fee. It pairs a 3.4-liter twin-turbo V6 with a hybrid system for 457 horsepower and 583 lb-ft. It tows 8,000 pounds and gets an EPA-estimated 20 mpg combined.

How much is the 2027 Lexus LX 700h by trim?
Lexus announced 2027 LX pricing on September 18, 2026, in its 2027 LX press release. All prices below include the $1,550 delivery, processing and handling fee.
| Trim | LX 600 (gas) | LX 700h (hybrid) |
|---|---|---|
| Premium | $109,050 | Not offered |
| Overtrail | Not listed | $118,055 |
| F Sport Handling | $116,910 | $120,910 |
| Luxury | $117,850 | $121,850 |
| Ultra Luxury | Not listed | $143,350 |
Where both versions exist, the hybrid adds exactly $4,000. Lexus says the 2027 LX will reach dealers later this year, without naming a date.
What does the LX700h hybrid V6 add?
Both LX versions use a 3.4-liter twin-turbo V6 and a 10-speed automatic. The LX 600 makes 409 hp and 479 lb-ft. The LX 700h adds an electric motor and a nickel-metal hydride battery for 457 hp and 583 lb-ft, which is 104 lb-ft more pulling power from low revs.
That torque is what you feel merging with three rows full. It doesn’t show up as more towing: Lexus rates both versions at 8,000 pounds. The 700h’s EPA combined figure is 20 mpg. Lexus doesn’t list a combined number for the LX 600 in the release, so we can’t give you a clean fuel savings figure. If you want more output still, our Mercedes-AMG GT SUV report covers the far end of the luxury SUV scale.
The hybrid has one feature most hybrids lack. Lexus’s LX 700h technical brief says the system keeps both a conventional starter and an alternator. If the hybrid system fails, the engine can still start and charge the 12-volt battery, so you can keep driving on gas power. For an SUV built to go far off pavement, that backup matters.
Which LX 700h trim makes sense?
The Overtrail is the cheapest way into the hybrid, and it’s also the off-road version. It gets electronically controlled front and rear locking differentials and one-touch power-folding rear seats. If you’ll never use the lockers, you’re still paying for them, because there’s no LX 700h Premium for 2027.
Here’s the trap at the dealer. An LX 600 Premium at $109,050 and an LX 700h Overtrail at $118,055 sit next to each other on the lot, and the gap is $9,005, not $4,000. Compare like with like: F Sport Handling to F Sport Handling, or Luxury to Luxury.
For 2027, every LX 700h also gets a center-console Cool Box, rear manual sunshades and a new cargo shelf system, and a head-up display is now standard across the line. The hybrid’s 2,400-watt AC inverter under the center console can run a laptop or small appliance at a campsite.
LX 700h vs Toyota Sequoia and Cadillac Escalade
The closest relative is the Toyota Sequoia, which uses a similar twin-turbo V6 hybrid rated at 437 hp and 583 lb-ft. The top Sequoia Capstone costs $90,095 with destination, according to Kelley Blue Book’s November 4, 2026 pricing report, as covered in our 2027 Sequoia price breakdown. That’s $27,960 less than the cheapest LX 700h for the same torque figure and 20 fewer horsepower.
The Cadillac Escalade now starts at $105,595 with destination, Hypebeast reported on September 21, 2026, after Cadillac dropped its base trim. That undercuts the LX 700h Overtrail by $12,460. What the Lexus offers for the difference is the hybrid’s torque and an off-road-ready trim with locking differentials.
Price per horsepower makes the point plainly. The Sequoia Capstone works out to about $206 per hp, the LX 700h Overtrail to about $258. The extra money buys the Lexus badge and cabin, not more engine. Our guide to Toyota’s largest SUVs covers the Land Cruiser and Grand Highlander if you’d rather stay with Toyota.
Pricing for 2027 rivals is still settling, and dealer markups on the LX can move the real gap. Our verdict: buy the LX700h over the LX 600 if you’re choosing a trim both offer, because $4,000 for 104 lb-ft more torque is the easiest call in this lineup.
Lexus LX 700h FAQ
How much is the 2027 Lexus LX 700h?
The 2027 LX 700h starts at $118,055 for the Overtrail, including the $1,550 delivery fee. The F Sport Handling costs $120,910, the Luxury $121,850 and the Ultra Luxury $143,350. There’s no hybrid Premium trim, so the LX 700h starts $9,005 above the $109,050 LX 600 Premium.
How much can the Lexus LX 700h tow?
Lexus rates the LX 700h to tow up to 8,000 pounds, the same as the gas LX 600. The hybrid’s extra torque, 583 lb-ft against 479 lb-ft, makes the load feel easier to pull, but it doesn’t raise the official rating. Check payload too, since passengers and tongue weight count against it.
What is the difference between the LX 600 and LX 700h?
The LX 700h adds a hybrid system to the same 3.4-liter twin-turbo V6, raising output from 409 hp and 479 lb-ft to 457 hp and 583 lb-ft. It’s rated at 20 mpg combined. Where both share a trim, the hybrid costs $4,000 more. The Overtrail and Ultra Luxury come only as the hybrid.
