On most Monday mornings, a Lexus LX rolling up to Lincoln Center wouldn’t raise an eyebrow—not in a city where G-Wagens prowl like alley cats and yellow cabs still demand lane supremacy. But this wasn’t most mornings. As New York City prepared for the premiere of Universal Pictures’ Wicked: For Good, Lexus arrived with something far more theatrical than a standard-issue luxury SUV: a full-blown, karaoke-ready, witch-themed rolling tribute to Oz.
Meet the Wicked: For Good Karaoke LX—a one-off, character-inspired LX that’s equal parts flagship SUV and Broadway stage on wheels.
A Two-Witch Paint Job That Refuses to Blend In
Lexus might as well have swapped its design studio for a spellbook. The wrap is a vivid duet of Glinda pink and Elphaba emerald green, divided across the LX’s vast bodywork with the precision of a Broadway set painter. Gold accents glint off the grille, wheels, and trim, catching the lights of the Lincoln Center plaza like costume jewelry under spotlights.
It’s flamboyant. It’s loud. It’s absolutely intentional.
From some angles it feels like Glinda herself waved a wand at a luxury SUV; from others, it channels the brooding power of the Wicked Witch mid-flight. Lexus says the design pulls inspiration from the film’s architecture and the witches’ evolving relationship. We say: mission accomplished.
A Cabin That Doubles as a Karaoke Lounge
Open the door and you’re met with a cabin that looks like Oz’s VIP room.
Pink and green upholstered seats face a bank of mood lighting zones that shift between the witches’ signature hues. Custom mats continue the film tie-ins, but the real star is the interactive sound system, engineered for what Lexus calls “group sing-alongs.”
Translation:
They built a karaoke stage into a six-figure SUV.
Microphones at the ready, passengers can belt out classics from the first film—“Defying Gravity,” “Popular,” “What Is This Feeling?,” and more. Lexus didn’t just make a themed car; they made a fan experience meant to turn any commute into a full-cast rehearsal.
Luxury, Power, and a Touch of Magic
Under the couture exterior, the LX remains every bit the modern flagship SUV:
- a twin-turbo V-6 with more than enough muscle to whisk you to the Emerald City (or at least across Manhattan),
- a plush, three-row cabin,
- Lexus’ usual blend of whisper-quiet ride quality and bulletproof build.
What makes this LX different is how confidently it embraces whimsy. As Lisa McQueen, senior manager of Lexus marketing, puts it, Lexus wanted to create “more than a vehicle.” Instead, they created a driveable celebration of imagination and self-expression—one that wouldn’t look out of place on a theater marquee.
Final Curtain
The Wicked: For Good Karaoke LX debuts on the premiere’s green carpet at Lincoln Center on November 17, ahead of Wicked: For Good landing in theaters November 21, 2025.
Most special-edition cars lean on subtle trim pieces or a tasteful badge. This one? It invites you to grab a microphone, sing your heart out, and—yes—go full Oz.
It’s ridiculous in the best possible way.
It’s the kind of collaboration that shouldn’t work… until suddenly it does.
And in a city that never blinks, Lexus managed to make even New Yorkers stop and stare.
