Earlier this year, trademark filings indicated that a new Lexus LX 700h model may be on the way, and here it is. It's the first-ever Lexus LX with an electrified powertrain, which consists of a 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 with the first parallel hybrid system that features an alternator and a starter, which allows the vehicle to be started and driven even if there is a failure of the hybrid system. This is connected to a full-time four-wheel drive system with a 10-speed torque converter automatic transmission and a low-range transfer case.
