Lexus JX

The Lexus JX (VX in Japan) is a mid-size luxury SUV to be released by Lexus under the JX badge for the 2008 model year and as part of the VX badge for the 2007 model year.

It is rumored to be an all-new crossover SUV that fits between Lexus' RX- and GX-series. With influenced styling from the Lexus LF-X concept, expect this sporty crossover to be competing with the Audi Q7 and Mercedes-Benz GL-Class crowd. With the new Lexus 4.6L engines out, expect the name to be JX 460.

The JX will be based on the Lexus GS and powered by a 4.3 L V8 engine. With this engine, it is possible that the model will actually be named JX 430 (VX 430) by the time it reaches production. Hybrid versions are also expected.

Styling is to be influenced by the Calty Design Research concept Lexus LF-X, formerly designated HPX.
