Lexus 2021 LX570

Lexus Few vehicles are capable of handling off-road trails during the day and standing out in front of red carpet events at night, but the 2021 Lexus LX is one of those rare beasts. It shares its platform and mechanical parts with the Toyota Land Cruiser, so its all-terrain credit is real ,

But she’s wearing a sharply compressed tuxedo instead of jeans and her T-shirt collection. A burly V-8 slams under the hood, but drivers shouldn’t expect the LX to offer quick acceleration or nimble handling. The Lexus’ comfortable ride is on par with other luxury off-road vehicles such as the Land Rover Range Rover and the Infiniti QX80. Cabin accommodations is similarly luxurious, but those looking for the latest infotainment technology may be disappointed with the older LX’s offering.

Lexus’ biggest SUV enters 2021 with a few changes . A new Sport Package is available on the three-row model, which adds a unique exterior design,

21-inch wheels, and painted either white pearl, onyx black or silver paint. Also available in three-row model,

The Inspiration Series #2 package, which eliminates most of the LX’s exterior trim and adds black 21-inch wheels, smoked lenses for the exterior lighting elements, black badging, and Rioja Red semi-aniline leather upholstery. A Glazed Caramel interior is now available, and the LX’s infotainment system now includes Amazon Alexa compatibility.

The LX comes in a two- and three-row arrangement; Given its size, we chose the three rows because having two extra seats isn’t a terrible thing. The base level comes well-equipped with interior navigation , a 12.3-inch infotainment screen, all-wheel drive, adaptive suspension, and plenty of driver assistance features. The luxury package doesn’t add much to the bottom line, but it does add leather upholstery, four-zone automatic climate control, heated and ventilated first and second-row seats, and stylish pool lights integrated into the outside mirrors.

Engine, Transmission and Performance Lexus

Feeding a 383-horsepower 5.7-liter V-8 under the hood, the LX takes in huge doses of air, a job that’s nothing but quiet. When you hit the gas pedal hard,

The LX combines itself with significant displacement before scrambling from zero to 60 mph in 7.2 seconds. That’s enough to escape the “slow” mark, but the LX is easily outperformed by many of its competitors. for comparison,

The Mercedes-AMG GLS63 jumps to 60 mph in 4.3 seconds. The LX is not a luxury car that allows its driver to sit back, relax and glide to their destination. Although the ride is comfortable and ignores bumps on the road, the steering is numb and discrete, and low-speed turns require a lot of work on the lever. Get the LX up to speed on the highway and the lack of steering feel creates a crowded drive;

Small corrections to keep the car on a straight path are frequent. This creates way more work than would be necessary to drive in a straight line.

Towing and payload capacity Lexus

If towing is a big concern, forget the LX entirely and head to your Toyota dealer for a Land Cruiser. It offers an additional 1,100 pounds of capacity versus the LX rating of 7,000 pounds.

Fuel economy and MPG in the real world

The LX was built on a formula that predated the turbocharger movement of everything, and it seemed like good gas mileage wasn’t on the checklist in the early 2000s. With a combined EPA rating of 15 mpg, it’s one of the least efficient cars on the market today. The EPA estimates that the LX should deliver 18 mpg highway; On our 200-mile highway fuel economy test route, we clocked 17 mpg.

Interior, comfort and cargo

The LX has a massive presence, but a big body doesn’t necessarily translate into a great ballroom on the inside. Each row of seating is livable, although none offer exceptional space. Large families with growing children can be better served by the luxurious Lincoln Navigator and class-leading third-row room. The centerpiece of the LX’s interior design is the 12.3-inch infotainment screen located in the towers
