In general, compared to vehicles designed for on-road use, the comfort in off-road vehicles is slightly less. However, there are some vehicles that handle on-road and off-road with good comfort. One such vehicle is the Lexus LX570. According to Lexus, ‘LX’ stands for ‘Luxury Crossover’. Actually, this vehicle can be categorized as a luxury vehicle of Toyota. When talking about these Lexus vehicles, they range from small sedans to full-size SUVs. Lexus is manufactured with high values ​​of reliability and durability. So today, CarsGuide will review for you, the Lexus LX, Third Generation Lexus LX570 2011.

Exterior Design

When we see a vehicle, we instantly see its exterior. Therefore, it is very important to design the exterior well for us to be interested in a vehicle. Let’s first see if the exterior of the Lexus LX570 has been designed with these things in mind.

When talking about the front view of the vehicle, the first thing we see is a chrome grill. This chrome grill provides good protection to the engine. Also, body-color bumpers can be seen. When talking about the front lights of this vehicle, we can see fog lights, halogen headlights, automatic headlights and adaptive swiveling headlights, including headlight washers.

Coming to the side of the vehicle, chrome door handles can be seen. Also, you can see the side mirrors with the body color itself. These side mirrors are made to be auto dimmed. Talking about the sunroof, it comes with a power glass sunroof. We can also see two roof rail crossbars and 20 inch 10-spoke liquid-graphite finish alloy wheels on this vehicle.

The Lexus LX570 has LED taillights. The other thing is, you can see the rear window defroster. Actually, when talking about the rear view of this vehicle, we can see a solemn look at a glance. The ground clearance of a vehicle is the minimum distance between the lower end of the vehicle body or chassis and the road. Generally, the higher the ground clearance of a vehicle, the better, because it reduces the chance of scraping the underside.

So, because the Lexus LX570 has a ground clearance of 235 mm, there is nothing to worry about the underside.

This vehicle comes with a boot space of 349 liters. In addition, the boot capacity can be increased up to 710 liters by folding the seats in the 3rd row and up to 1962 liters by folding the seats in both the 3rd and 2nd rows.

So compared to other vehicles, this space is very good. Because in other vehicles with three seat rows, the boot capacity cannot be increased by folding the seats in both the 2nd and 3rd rows.

Interior Design

As soon as we enter this vehicle, we see a leather and wood trimmed interior. Generally, manufacturers use wood trim for the interior of a vehicle to provide a smooth shape to the components. However, wood trimming a vehicle is a job that costs a lot of money. This is used only for expensive cars. Therefore, the interior of Lexus LX450 vehicle presents a luxurious look. Mark Levinson audio system, Mark Levinson 19-speaker surround sound system, 6-disc DVD/CD changer, two wireless headphones, DVD-audio and DVD-video playback as well as a 9-inch-wide liquid crystal display screen are included in the Lexus LX570.

So, we can say that the interior has been designed in such a way that the vehicle is equipped with high technology from these things. A heated steering wheel and leather seats can be observed. The front of the vehicle has been designed so that the driver and the front passenger get a comfortable ride throughout the journey. Because it has good legroom and good headroom. In addition, you can see a good storage area.

The passenger space comes with six seats, three each in the 2nd and 3rd rows. Since the 2nd row has generally been given good legroom and good headroom, the passengers traveling in the 2nd row can also get a comfortable ride. But the 3rd row does not have that much legroom. As there is usually good headroom, we can use the 3rd row as well. So, this Lexus LX570 is designed for eight people.

Performance

The Lexus LX570 is powered by a 5.7-liter V8 engine. And this engine gives an output of 383 hp, along with a torque of 403 lb.-ft.
