Ebrahim Khalil Kanoo Unveils the 2022 Lexus LX 600 in Bahrain
In their ongoing commitment to elevating customer experiences and meeting the diverse expectations of distinguished clients in Bahrain, Ebrahim Khalil Kanoo, the exclusive distributor for Lexus vehicles in Bahrain, has announced the launch of the all-new Lexus LX 600. This latest generation is engineered to set new benchmarks in luxury by blending contemporary design, outstanding performance, and next-generation drivetrains with pioneering technologies—some debuting for the first time in any Lexus vehicle worldwide. The 2022 Lexus LX offers an unparalleled experience among full-size luxury SUVs, excelling on crowded city streets as well as the toughest off-road terrains.
Lexus: A Legacy of Innovation and Excellence
Since its inception in 1989, Lexus has embodied a spirit of innovation, continually striving to exceed customer expectations with cutting-edge technology and exceptional value. The Lexus LX first debuted in 1996 and quickly became an icon of luxury SUVs by delivering superior quality, comfort, and enhanced performance suitable for all driving conditions globally. Through continuous refinement of its core principles—reliability, durability, and outstanding off-road capabilities—the LX has achieved remarkable success, with over 500,000 units sold across more than 50 countries and regions.
Engineering Excellence: Structure, Performance, and Efficiency
Upholding the authentic legacy of the Lexus LX, the new model maintains its robust body-on-frame construction while introducing the lightweight and rigid GA-F global architecture platform. This advancement, combined with a lighter frame, has reduced the overall weight of the all-new LX by approximately 200 kg. The result is enhanced ride comfort, improved handling and stability, and greater fuel efficiency—all while preserving the vehicle’s renowned power and safety standards.
Unmatched Driving Dynamics with Lexus Driving Signature
No matter the driving conditions, the 2022 Lexus LX delivers a consistently connected feel between car and driver, offering precise control and rapid response thanks to the Lexus Driving Signature. For the first time, the LX features an electronically assisted steering system and electronic brake control, ensuring optimal performance both on and off the road. Redesigned suspension systems, including Active Height Control and Adaptive Variable Suspension, further improve ride comfort and stability regardless of terrain.
Design Philosophy: Timeless Elegance and Modern Sophistication
The exterior of the 2022 Lexus LX embodies the latest evolution of Lexus’ design philosophy, centered around “Refined Timeless Elegance.” Its bold presence is accentuated by the newly sculpted spindle grille, a seamless one-piece power rear door, refined rear lighting, and prominent Lexus badging—all signaling the brand’s new design direction. Inside, greater passenger space and a driver-centric layout deliver unprecedented comfort at all times and in all places. The refined cockpit, built around the “Tazuna” concept, organizes essential controls and information displays within the driver’s direct line of sight, facilitating intuitive, direct interaction and a sense of balance—especially during off-road adventures.
Next-Level Comfort and Advanced Interior Features
Every control and switch in the cabin is positioned for easy reach, ensuring seamless operation and a distraction-free driving experience, complemented by exceptionally comfortable seating. The interior is packed with advanced features, including the brand’s first-ever dual central display screens—a 12.3-inch upper multimedia touchscreen supporting Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, and a 7-inch lower display for navigation, audio, and climate controls. A 10-inch color head-up display projects vital information onto the windshield, while an 8-inch multi-information display in the instrument cluster, fingerprint authentication for vehicle start, wireless smartphone charger, and four-zone Lexus automatic climate control with rear console panel offer further convenience and luxury.
