The Lexus LX 600 Alpine Lifestyle concept was debuted by the US arm of the automotive brand at this year's SEMA in Las Vegas as an off-road-ready adventure vehicle.
The modified version of the SUV is focused towards the needs of campers or outdoor adventurers alike and features added toughness. This includes 20-inch Vessel wheels equipped with Bridgestone All-Terrain T/A KO2 tires that are protected by a series of carbon fiber fender flares. The back cargo area holds the TrekBoxx Expedition System, which also supports additional cargo.
The Lexus LX 600 Alpine Lifestyle has the Dissent Off-Road rack system that's ready to handle additional equipment like coolers, camping equipment and more. The vehicle maintains a rugged design that appears ready for any overlanding needs.
