On others, like on the LX 570, they look like the angry helmet from a Battlestar Galactica Cylon robot. On some Lexus models, the new spindle grille and Nike-swoosh headlights work. But with the Toyota Land Cruiser’s price landing within just a few thousand dollars of the fancier Lexus, the question becomes: Is the LX different enough to justify paying even more? The LX received a refresh for 2016 (compare it with the outgoing 2015 model here), gaining new styling, a new transmission, a new multimedia system, some interior refinements and a bunch of new electronic safety systems. It can do everything the already expensive and luxurious Land Cruiser can do (and arguably more, thanks to its air suspension), but does so while swaddling passengers in a cocoon of leather, wood and sound insulation.
#Lexus lx 570 upgrade#
Lexus doesn’t sell many of these battlewagons, and for good reason: They’re extremely expensive.īuilt off the Toyota Land Cruiser and sharing that SUV’s many, highly capable electronic 4×4 systems, the LX 570 represents an upgrade of sorts. The Lexus LX 570 is the flagship SUV of Toyota’s luxury brand and a rarity on American roads. Versus the competition: As far as big, three-row luxury SUVs go, the Lexus is mostly competitive, lacking few amenities aside from some of the more advanced safety technologies, but its dated SUV design and behavior won’t appeal to some buyers. The verdict: Despite being refreshed this year, the Lexus LX 570 still feels like an old-school SUV, with sluggish road manners that reflect its portliness.
