LX 450d

Rent the Lexus LX 450d for Your Georgian Trip

They no longer make diesel V8s like this, which is half the LX 450d's appeal. The 4.5-litre twin-turbo diesel produces 272 hp and delivers it as one long, effortless surge — quiet at idle, unstoppable in feel, the sort of engine that treats a fully loaded seven-seat cabin as no burden at all. The stance is tall and deliberate, and the ride is tuned to erase bad surfaces rather than report them.

That temperament suits Georgia. The route to Kazbegi climbs past Ananuri and over high passes where all-wheel drive and diesel torque matter more than lap times; in winter, when the road to Gudauri turns white, the Lexus simply carries on. Seven leather-lined seats make it a natural rental for family trips out of Tbilisi, and the same composure holds on the long run down to Batumi.

How the rental works

Prices start from $200 per day with full insurance included. Hand delivery to your address or to any airport in Georgia comes as standard, the concierge line answers 24/7, and a driver can be arranged on request.
