Year after year after year, the LX managed to move on without significant changes and still be present in the Lexus lineup. In 2015 it received the third facelift and a new turbodiesel engine for selected markets. The 2015 model was presented at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance and more aesthetic improvement was made. First of all, the front was completely redesigned. A new bumper, new grille, and new headlights were installed.
The bow-tie look of the grille is guarded by more aggressive headlights. In fact, only the doors and the roof remained unchanged. But underneath the new look is still the same 2007 ladder-frame and the whole body structure is the same. But since they did it right from the start, why change it? The double-wishbone front suspension and the rigid rear axle are good enough for pretty much everything. And, with a tow-hitch fixed directly to the vehicle frame, the LX450 can easily tow up to 7000 pounds (3175 kg), partly due to the 5.7-liter V8 engine mated to a new 8-speed automatic transmission. Fortunately, they kept also the low-range transmission case.
Another important change is inside. The whole interior was redesigned and a new, larger 12.3-inch navigation screen can show several view combinations (panoramic/driver's side, panoramic/passenger's side, panoramic/rear, panoramic/front, side/side, rear, front/side/side, underfloor/side/side, rear/side/side) to help aid the driver. The LX also adds standard several safety features, new multimedia with Remote Touch Interface and substantial dual screens for the available Rear Seat Entertainment System to help captivate passengers.
