It was actually back in 1996 when Lexus launched the LX 450; this SUV was really meant to really be such a perfect car over the competition on the market. This was really supposed to be going up against the Land Cruiser from the Toyota range and it was a full size body on frame SUV but it was very much improved. Only a few years later it was the 450 was then given a new name with the 470 and this model went almost a decade later before any new or major redesigns happened. It was back in 2008 when the car was redesigned and the SUV lovers out there really did love this new design.
With the new LX570, the SUV really does have a lot of new features and fixtures to the Lexus; this is really going to be very reliable for when it comes to driving off road conditions. This can be such a great simple car also so perfect for those that are just looking for any car really though this is a nice and special car really.
This Lexus has really got a lot of little fixtures that really works perfectly with this LX570 such as the park assist, the entertainment fixtures to the back of the car for the passengers in the back seat and the great Mark Levinson 19 speaker audio system also.
This Lexus can hold up to eight passengers especially with the new remodeling to the entire car; this is going to be a little bigger and quite heavy however but it can still be very impressive. It can manage almost sixty seconds in six point five seconds which is absolutely great however.
Even the engine is very impressive also; there is the now V-8 5.7 liter engine which can manage a massive horsepower of almost three hundred and eighty three which is pretty amazing especially with the reliable automatic six speed transmission.
This can even manage to tow almost eight thousand, five hundred pounds in weight. This is a SUV car, no doubt about that, there is only going to be the one model however, the LX 570.
There will though now be the V-8 5.7 liter engine that does work well with the six speed automatic transmission.
Now with this Lexus, this is not going to have massive amounts of changes but some; the LX 570 will have the leather trim and the black interior to the car. The steering wheel has now the option over being heated but this is only really available for the Luxury package of the 570.
This will have the interior wood trim of the Bubinga with the semi aniline leather feeling to the car; there is even the cool box for drinks. This new LX 570 will have a now brake overriding system which is a nice little feature to have. The color Costa Azul has unfortunately been stopped in production which is a little bit of a shame.
The exterior is going to have a smooth and very classy look to this model; this does resemble the Land Cruiser however which this Lexus LX570 platform has been modeled on. This will have some nice twenty inch wheels which are again a standard feature but with the Luxury package the wheels are going to have a very nice finish with a Liquid Graphite touch to the LX.
There are now the three rows of seating in the 570 which can have a choice of either a wood or leather finish to the interior of the 570. The front seat passenger has got the twelve way option and the driver’s seat has the fourteen way option also.
The third row of seats can actually be folded down and put completely out of the way to create more room and even the second row of seats is power slides. Though there is now a nice nineteen speaker surround sound system built into the LX 570.
This can move quickly and very impressively however, it can amazingly manage to get from zero to sixty miles per hour within six point five seconds which is something else. The old engine has also been removed and a V-8 5.7 liter engine takes its place which means that a horsepower of more than one hundred and fifteen of horsepower now improves the 570.
The brakes can work fairly well when driving at sixty miles an hour in almost one hundred and thirty three feet. The total handling over this car is not going to be at its strongest point however it can still work good.
The safety fixtures with the LX570 will be the reliable airbags that come with the dual front and knee airbags. The two first rows of seating will also get side airbags and the third is going to have curtain airbags for the passengers.
There are a few more standard fixtures as the ABS disc brake system; that works along with the stability control system and the electronic brake force distribution. Remember the brake assist is also going to be included with the LX570.
When it comes to the EPA fuel economy numbers then they are going to reach only eighteen mpg for the highway roads and only twelve mpg for the city roads also.
