Lexus brings a dash of rugged elegance to SEMA 2023 with three distinct off-road inspired builds. Under the spotlight are the LX and GX models, each boasting unique upgrades from Lexus' Associated Accessory Product (AAP) program.

These builds not only celebrate the brand's capable SUV lineup but also the outdoor spirit that Lexus embodies.

The LX 600 Premium gets an alluring Aquamarine body wrap, paired with matte gray exterior elements accenting the grille and 18-inch wheels. It's designed for spontaneous weekend getaways, featuring 33-inch Toyo Open Country A/T tires and a Kammok Crosswing Car Awning for sun and rain protection.

Lexus

Each of these builds encapsulates Lexus' dedication to blending luxury with outdoor readiness. The unveiling at SEMA 2023 invites adventure enthusiasts to explore the wild side of Lexus, where elegance meets the rugged trails.
