Are you looking for the latest model large luxury SUV that makes driving fun and allows you to still experience comfort without worrying about the terrible roads of Nigeria? In that case, you may want to check out either the Lexus 2023 LX600 or the 2023 Land Rover Range Rover.
However, before going for any of them, it’ll be important to check out this quick real-world comparison.
The 2023 Range Rover Has a Quieter and more Comfortable Ride than the Lexus LX600 2023
Although the 2023 Lexus LX600 is super quiet and comfortable when driven at highway speeds, the 2023 Land Rover Range Rover is quieter. The Range Rover has an acoustic windshield and more robust doors and insulation, which makes it feel as quiet as a casket at higher speeds. The Range Rover also has an electronic air suspension with different drive modes.
The best mode is the “comfort mode,” which makes the steering easier, lifted the chassis, and provides a soft ride that soaks up even the worst road bumps and imperfections. The 2023 Lexus LX600 F Sport doesn’t have an air suspension. Instead, it’s equipped with a double-wishbone front and multi-link rear suspension that’s comfortable but not as plush as the Rover’s ride.
The 2023 Lexus LX600 Has Better Power Than the Ranger Rover 2023
The base trim of the Lexus LX600 is powered by a twin-turbo 3.4-litre V6 engine that generates 409 hp and 479 lb-ft of torque. On the other hand, the Range Rover SE is equipped with a turbocharged inline-six engine with a 48-volt hybrid system that makes 395 hp and 406 lb-ft of torque for the base trim.
In reality, the Lexus LX600 feels quicker and more agile despite the fact that it weighs around 400 more pounds than the Range Rover. Apparently, that extra torque and power make up for the car’s added weight.
The 2023 Lexus LX600 & 2023 Range Rover SUVs Have Similar Fuel Economy Numbers
About the powertrain in both of these cars, you can expect them to get similar fuel economy numbers. The EPA rates the entry-level Range Rover at 18 mpg in the city and 26 mpg on the highway, while the LX600 is rated at 17 and 22 mpg, respectively. On paper, that sounds like a huge difference.
But in real-world testing, it averages 16.6 mpg in the Lexus and 18 mpg in the Range Rover. Of course, a two-mpg difference may sound like a lot to some, but your mileage will vary. Either way, you can expect sub-20-mpg returns in either of these cars if you drive up hills and through cities.
The 2023 Lexus LX600 & 2023 Range Rover SUV: Which is More Comfortable?
Out of the two competitors, the Range Rover is more comfortable by far. The Base trim Range Rover comes equipped with Windsor leather seats that were soft to the touch, power-adjustable, and has seat massagers.
The Lexus is comfortable as well, with its two-toned leather seats that are heated and ventilated. Even the second row had ventilated outboard seats, which is a rare find. However, the Range Rover’s overall head and legroom in all three rows were more generous than the LX600’s.
Which of the Large 2023 Luxury SUVs is the Best to Buy?
The 2023 Lexus LX600 F Sport has a starting price of over N200 million in Nigeria while the 2023 Range Rover has a start price of the same amount. Apparently, their prices are closely related in the Nigerian market. While the 2023 Range Rover has some leg-up to the LX600 when it comes to features, the LX600 2023 is a better purchase for Nigerian luxury car owners. Why?
Lexus vehicles have better and greater market value than Range Rovers in the country. You want to make sure you’re spending over N200 million on a vehicle you’ll still be able to resell for a good profit a few years from now. In addition, the Lexus LX600 is sportier than the Range Rover making it an excellent car for Nigerian roads.
