Ooooooohhhh. I LIKE this! Upon closer inspection, A, B, C-pillars and roofline are carryover, while the rest of the sheet metal and interior are all new. Looks like they did a "3000-parts new" major refresh like what they did with the '13 LS.

BTW, pics appear to have a legit Atomic Silver (Titanium) color!

I really love the current design, which appears more masculine and "tough" than this new model... but I'm open for more pics

Love It!!!!

This looks like a strong, buff athlete while the current version looks like it needs a diet.

Yeah , only the d-pillar can be considered "totally new" , I'm slightly disappointed by the "facelift"

I am stunned at how much I like this. I was expecting to be let down. The brash looks and L design goes well here. Again if the G-Wagon can go 500 years, why not this!

When I first saw the leaked image, I didn't like it, seeing how it was a vehicle lexus slapped on the spindle grille without making it look smooth, but with these images, I can say this LX looks great, I wish it was completely new instead of the "3000 new parts" because of that it the new interior of the LX, it definitely needs a new body/engine to go with it

But that interior is a top notch

Wow, I LOVE it! Yes it's not a complete redesign, but it's a MAJOR refresh. They nailed a delicate balance for the exterior and interior styling. It still looks tough, big, brash, and capable but now it also looks a lot more expensive and premium.

The biggest stunner is that interior. Absolutely incredible interior! Look at those HUGE swaths of wood and leather all around the interior. Also that huge, curved swath of leather on the door panel, that looks amazing! It looks like soft-touch materials and leather top-to-bottom in the interior almost. The interior is a huge upgrade from the current one. The cherry on top is the massive navigation screen. Overall just superb interior execution. Everything from the layout, to the steering wheel design, to the material choices looks superb, just like the new RX and NX interiors.

If there are any powertrain upgrades as well, that would be just a perfect refresh.

If this is a hint at the next LS interior, I am absolutely salivating! I'm as giddy as a kid at Christmas to see the next LS now .

The only thing I dislike is the wheels, it doesn't have that LX look

The interior is stunning! rich simplicity! I like the way the d-pillar reflects the sculpting of the spindle grille surround.
CIF, I can hardly wait for Christmas morning either!

Great point RAL !
The D-pillar definitely matches very well with the spindle grille.
A very worthy and exceptionally executed refresh this is. As the flagship Lexus SUV, the LX needed no less than this. To most of the general public, this will look like a redesign.

Those are the pictures I say at the Lexus event last year
It's just stunning

 

[Mohammed Taha]

I hope they make it a lot more angular to match the rest of the vehicle. They need to add sharp edges to compliment the new headlights and taillights.

 

[NVlaar]

4.0 TT V8 under the hood would be soo perfect!

 

[GuoxJason]

Love it! Quite extensive for a facelift. The rear taillights do give the rear fascia a bit of a... Sienna look.

Any chance the all-new model will come out within two years? Hehe

Ooops, should have posted my comment in this topic...

Impressive makeover. Seems like a very good evolution and makes it much more elegant, especially at the back. It is now less a redesigned Toyota Landcruiser.
We don't get it here in Western Europe (apart from a few individual imported units). There could be a certain market for though... if it were available as a plug-in petrol hybrid

True but bling sells in this segment.

 

[Wicus Kriel]

This is extremely exciting! A diesel option will be a welcome addition to the line-up.

 

[ThePenguin]

Holy moly that interior!!! Love it!

But those wheels better not be the only option, lexus better offer different styled wheels
