2022 Lexus LX gets a mild visual upgrade with the Modellista Makeover

This kit includes a front spoiler and wheels as well as a little bit more.

In October, the fourth-generation 2022 Lexus LX was introduced with a familiar yet new design. Lexus underwent many changes to the sheet metal but it is a new era in luxbobarge. The visual upgrade kit was created by Toyota’s in-house tuner Modelista. While the parts aren’t a significant enhancement, they give the SUV a more luxurious appearance.

The kit features sportier rear and front lower valances. The new spoiler at the front adds dimension to the SUV’s otherwise flat, tall face. The lower valance protrudes in front of it. The rear skirt is wing-shaped and looks more aggressive than its stock counterpart.

Modellista offers the LX with full length stainless steel running boards plates with flowing black lines. This adds style and grip to the vehicle. The final piece of kit from the tuner is the wheels. These are 22-inch forged aluminium units that customers can choose to have with or without tires. However, lock nuts are standard on both. Modellista does not list any interior accessories and there are no performance upgrades. However, you will probably find more power elsewhere.

The Lexus LX is available in the US with a twin-turbocharged, 3.5-liter V6. It pairs with a 10-speed manual gearbox and produces 409 horsepower (304 Kilowatts) as well as 479 pound-feet (479 Newton-meters). It has a new platform, new tech and lost 441 pounds (200 kg) in weight. The previous-generation’s approach and departure angles are maintained and the SUV is packed with useful offroad features.

The US Lexus LX 2022 will arrive at dealers in the first quarter. Those who wish to make it more than stock can find parts from Modellista. Although it is not much, it is a start. Tuners and aftermarket companies will likely offer more upgrades, including the under-hood.
