Lexus LX450 - J80 (1996 to 1997)

The first generation of Lexus LX was introduced for the 1996 model year. Known as the J80, this new generation of luxury SUVs were available in one variant: the LX450. These cars were by a 4.5L V8 engine sending power to all four wheels via a 4 speed automatic transmission. Heavily based on the Toyota Land Cruiser 80 Series, the Lexus LX405 was largely a more well appointed Land Cruiser. Built until 1997, the LX450 was replaced by the Lexus LX470 for the 1998 model year.
