Though large in size, the 2011 Lexus LX 570 is stable at freeway speeds and on curvy roads. It's equally as comfortable off-road as well. The driver can choose "Comfort," "Sport" or a default ride setting that offers the best of both worlds. We found the Sport setting to be stiff enough to handle spirited driving, though the default setting resides on the firmer side of the spectrum as well. The Comfort setting is perfect for everyday driving while still providing a stable ride. In the off-road environment, the Crawl Control feature made tackling steep grades as simple as setting the cruise control. There isn't even a need to touch the throttle or the brake.
Crawl ControlShould drivers decide to head off the beaten path, Lexus includes Crawl Control as standard equipment on the 2011 LX 570. When activated, the driver can select a speed between one and three miles per hour and the SUV handles crawling up or down uneven terrain without requiring any throttle or brake inputs from the driver.Mark Levinson Reference Surround Sound SystemIf beating through the underbrush isn't on your to-do list, the LX 570 is available with an excellent Mark Levinson Reference sound system. With 19 speakers and 450 watts of power, the stereo delivers a harmonious balance of mid-range, high-pitch and deep-bass sounds that are crisp no matter what the volume setting.
Lexus has carried over a number of interior conveniences from the 2010 LX 570, including the segment's first power-reclining rear seats and a third row that retracts with the push of a button to allow for greater cargo versatility. With the third row configured for passengers, the luxury SUV delivers seating for up to eight individuals and, thanks to a clever cabin design and an additional four inches of wheelbase, occupants enjoy plenty of legroom.
Lexus worked to toe the line between finesse and brawn with the exterior design of the LX 570. A wide stance and accentuated fender arches help convey the impression of muscular capability. Meanwhile, the company's "arrowhead" grille and splashes of chrome throughout the cabin do much to relate the big SUV with its more svelte family members. Running boards tucked close to the LX 570 body and large wheel and tire choices give the vehicle an athletic look, despite its size.
Befitting a vehicle of this price point, the 2011 LX 570 arrives with a veritable laundry list of standard equipment. Buyers can expect to find 20-inch alloy wheels, an adaptive front lighting system, a power-folding third-row seat, navigation system with back-up camera, four-zone climate control, active height control for easy ingress and egress, an adaptive variable suspension that adjusts the shock absorbers for optimal handling, full-time four-wheel drive for slippery situations and Crawl Control.
Don't expect too many changes to show up on the option sheet for 2011. Lexus continues to offer climate-controlled front seats with a heated second row, a 19-speaker Mark Levinson Reference Sound System, Pre-Collision System with Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, a rear-seat entertainment system that includes a nine-inch screen and headphones and Intuitive Parking Assist. This parking system incorporates a wide-view front and side monitor that draws from cameras in the front grille and under the passenger-side mirror to help the driver see unseen objects or obstacles, a benefit when parking or maneuvering in tight spaces.
The LX 570 is powered by a refined 5.7-liter V8 touting 383 horsepower and an impressive 403 pound-feet of torque, which is instrumental in providing the vehicle's 8,500-pound tow rating. A six-speed automatic transmission handles shifting duties and a Torsen limited-slip center differential provides full-time all-wheel drive with a 40:60 power split (front/rear, respectively). The transfer case allows for an impressively-low 2.62:1 gear ratio for tackling off-road obstacles. 5.7-liter V8383 horsepower @ 5600 rpm403 lb.-ft. of torque @ 3600 rpmEPA city/highway fuel economy: 12/18
The 2011 Lexus LX 570 starts a little over $ 79,000, and a fully-loaded version can easily pass the $ 90,000 mark, which is just under a Land Rover Range Rover and a little more than an equivalently-loaded Audi Q7 3.0 TFSI. Over time, we expect the LX 570 to have residual values that best both the Land Rover Range Rover and Audi Q7, but that are not as high as those of the mid-size Lexus GX 470.

The third generation Lexus LX debuted at the 2007 New York International Auto Show.
If American car-manufacturer heads had been warned about a Japanese take-over in the mid 80's, they would have almost certainly laughed at the prospect. Humorous or not, the Japanese did conquer US, not through mecha led wars but rather through anime and cars. However, before the mild-assault began, there were a series of weird meetings held in secrecy in chairman chambers.
Such a meeting was held in 1983 between Toyota chairman Eiji Toyoda and his company executives. Toyoda had not invited his enforcers over for cookies and tea but to question them about the possibility of developing a luxury-car line that could successfully compete with American brands. The project was labeled as F1 -Flahship 1- and proved to be a most lucrative endeavor. The result was a vehicle that later became known as the Lexus LS 400 prior to its US premier.
The LS 400 was not just a car that took time and resources to built. In researching American luxury-product consumer habits and lifestyles, the Japanese went as far as renting a house in Laguna beach in order to observe their “subjects” closely. Offspring of long-gestating consumer research and cutting-edge engineering, the LX 400 was a hit.
Endorsed by insightful advertising, the LS 400 made its entrance at the North American Auto Show in Detroit, 1989 where it was one of the main attractions. And how could it not have been after 24 engineering teams and a few thousands employees worked on 450 prototypes at the cost of a paltry $ 1 billion investment?
The main advantage Lexus had over Acura, that had reached US markets 3 years before, was its uniqueness. Unlike the first Acura models which were sold as rebadged Hondas, the Lexus held little connections to Toyota design patterns.
Silent, ergonomic, powerful and reliable, the LS became a fierce competitor for European imports such as Mercedes Benz and BMW, whose sales drastically dropped following Lexus' trumpeting market entrance.
Models like the ES 250 followed which along the LS registered enough sales to allow the brand expanding through an 81-dealership network. During those first years of sales, Lexus became the top-selling luxury car in the U.S. Things were going smoothly for the Japanese manufacturer, just like its cars, and in 1991, two new models were released: the SC400 coupe and the ES 300 sedan. The latter was marketed as a replacement for the ES 250 and quickly became the company's best selling sedan.
Following the release of a heir to the LS 400 and the Toyota Aristo-based series of the GS, Lexus entered the sport utility vehicle segment in 1996 with the launch of the LX 450, a large car based on the Toyota Land Cruiser 100. By 1998, Lexus would release the RX, a top-selling crossover based on Toyota's Camry model as well as a new series of the GS. During the following years, further technological improvements such as the introduction of the Lexus Hybrid Drive system on the 2005 RX 400h, resulted in an even greater sales increase.
Things were so good for Lexus that it has constantly grown since its inception. The brand has been introduced to the Japanese home-market in 2005 as well as it has in other regions of Asia and South America as well as Australia and Europe. By 2007, Lexus had spread in over 50 countries and it continues to grow. The company's “pursuit of perfection” is fronted by its current line-up, comprised of the IS, LS and RX series among others as well as the avant-garde LF-A concepts.
2011 Lexus LX Consumer Reviews
cloodcraniac,
Beautiful SUV it’s a dream!!!
First it’s like riding a cloud. The features are great and easy to drive. The electric opening and closing is convenient and easy for a small lady. So much room in the back. Electric Folding of the seats is great! Its much larger inside than it appears. . We have to travel 10 hours very three weeks and this makes the trip much more enjoyable also having the ice box within a hands reach instead of the back is also wonderful. It’s just so easy for me to handle over all. Ive owned the GX and the LX is definitely worth the price. So many features It’s hard not to love. This is It’s the 4th Lexus I’ve owned and know they’re the most reliable and comfortable vehicles and I would own nothing else! I’m a Lexus owner for Life!!

2011 Lexus LX570
I love my Lexus SUV and I am in the market for trading it in, but not because it's giving me problems. This vehicle has been carefree and all I expected it would be. I bought the Lexus after having 2 Range Rovers which they spent more time in the service department than on the road! I do not like the new front end of the Lexus so I will be looking for something else this time around.
interestrigil,
This is a fantastic vehicle.
It's pricy and don't gripe about the fuel mileage. But as a master of the road it's simply the best vehicle I've ever owned. I've had 5 large domestic SUV's. They simply don't compare. The quiet smooth ride compares to that of an Audi A-8 which I've owned as well. It will "gadget" you to death which leads to it's plump owner's manual. It is truly a creature of comfort and style. It's price tag is hefty - but there's nothing that compares if you want a reliable, quiet, powerful SUV that is fully capable of off roading, but drives like the smoothest sedan you could find. Go ahead and spoil yourself.
sheepmashing,
Very happy with this vehicle!
Have been driving the LX for 3 years. Problem free. Expensive, but dependable.

"SUV that all of its predecessors avg. 250000 miles"
I am 64 and soon will be 65 and I fully expect this to be my very last purchase of an automobile. I want to be driving this when I have to hand my keys over to my 8 year younger wife when I am in my 80's. Lexus RX350's are well known to go this many miles as long as you take good care of it. Oil changes, tire rotations and any and all upkeep. It's definitely an expensive auto from the get-go but it will pay for itself when I do not have to buy another car for twenty years. I love this Lexus except for railroad tracks and pot hole roads. It rides like a freakin' truck. I am surprised by this. I can live with it, however. It's a great automobile except for that. Honestly, I think I am the one who is picky. Everyone who has traveled with me has commented how sweet the ride is...especially in the back seat. One never knows!

"Unmatched Reliability, SUV Performance & Luxury"
This is the only vehicle (with it's sister Toyota Land Cruiser) that is successfully designed & built to offer 25 years / 250,000 miles of highly dependable off-road & highway performance with this level of luxury & style. Only the highest priced Land Rover or Mercedes SUV models can even come close in off-road capabilities, highway manners, seating capacity & comfort /style but without the long term quality /dependability of the Lexus. This is the luxury version of the tremendously dependable Toyota Land Cruisers that I have owned for decades each, but this vehicle sets a new standard in every way. I could not be more pleased.Read less
