The 2015 Lexus LX 570 SUV is big in more ways than one. Tipping the scales at 6,000 pounds, the LX is heavier than the Infiniti QX80 and even the Cadillac Escalade. However, thanks to a sophisticated 3-mode suspension setup, the LX 570 manages its weight with the grace of an athletic linebacker, remaining firmly planted at highway speeds and proving surprisingly agile in the turns. Much of the LX’s heft comes from its stiff body-on-frame architecture, an aging design but one critical to the brutal reality of true off-road adventuring. The tradeoff versus a unit-body design (think Audi Q7) is a less compliant ride. On road, the LX’s 5.7-liter V8 can propel it to 60 mph in just 7.5 seconds. Off-road, the LX’s 2-speed transfer case and locking differential solidify its off-road abilities, as do the five terrain settings for rock, rock & dirt, mogul, loose rock and mud.
EASY-ACCESS SYSTEMThe LX 570 for 2015 features an easy-access system that automatically retracts the steering wheel and driver’s seat upon entry, making it easier to enter and exit the vehicle.CRAWL CONTROLIf you’ve got the guts to take an $ 85,000 luxury SUV to places only Jeeps and trucks roam, you’ll appreciate the LX 570’s Crawl Control mode. By controlling the brake and throttle input, Crawl Control slows the LX on steep grades, allowing the driver to focus on course corrections and obstacle avoidance.
The Lexus LX 570 for 2015 provides three rows of seats and can fit up to eight passengers. The 2nd-row seats fold and tumble forward. Unlike most other 3rd-row seats, those in the LX 570 do not fold forward but to the sides. This creates a flat load floor, but eats up valuable room on the sides. Both rear rows are power-operated, a real help when you don’t have the strength or inclination to wrestle with seats. Legroom is good in the second row, but tight and adult-unfriendly in the third. Four-zone climate control, meanwhile, is standard for further passenger comfort.
The Lexus’ 2015 LX 570 retains its traditional SUV looks. In other words, it’s boxy, bold and rugged. Like its sibling the Toyota Land Cruiser, the Lexus bucks the trend of crossover SUVs that are “softer” and more rounded. This design for the Lexus LX 570 is appropriate, as it remains a formidable off-road machine. The spindle grille adds athleticism and elegance to the LX’s front, as do its distinctive LED daytime running lights and high-intensity-discharge headlights. The rear bumper is now brightened with a stainless-steel accent. Large running boards add visual appeal and, more pragmatically, they help passengers climb in.
Every LX 570 SUV has permanent 4-wheel drive, quad-zone climate control, a power moonroof, a power tilt/telescoping steering wheel, a leather interior with mahogany wood trim and a 14-way driver’s seat. On the tech and entertainment side, there are a navigation system with rearview camera, Lexus’ Enform infotainment system and a 9-speaker AM/FM/CD player with HD Radio, Bluetooth streaming audio, and USB and iPod inputs. Safety features include 10 airbags, stability control, Emergency Assistance Button, and a system that, in the event of a severe accident, notifies an agent who will attempt to contact the driver and can send help if needed.
With so much offered as standard, what features are optional on the 2015 Lexus LX 570? Most extras are bundled into packages. Such options include ventilated front seats, a heated steering wheel, heated 2nd-row seats and a center-mounted cool box for food and beverages. Tech features include radar-based cruise control and pre-collision system, a dual-screen DVD rear-seat entertainment system, surround-camera system and – for audio enthusiasts – a superb Mark Levinson audio system with 19 (yes, nineteen) speakers.
The Lexus LX 570 is powered by a refined 5.7-liter V8 that makes 383 horsepower and a stout 403 lb-ft of torque, which help this SUV tow up to 7,000 pounds. The LX has a full-time 4-wheel-drive system with a Torsen limited-slip differential – with manual locking – and 2-speed transfer case. The transmission is a 6-speed automatic.5.7-liter V8383 horsepower @ 5,600 rpm403 lb-ft of torque @ 3,600 rpmEPA city/highway fuel economy: 12/17 mpg
The 2015 Lexus LX 570 has a starting Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) just shy of $ 84,000. Adding the feature-packed Luxury Package with Pre-Collision and Mark Levinson audio pushes that price to nearly $ 91,500. At these prices, the 2015 LX luxury SUV is at the high end of 3-row luxury SUVs, costing tens of thousands more than the Infiniti QX60, Mercedes-Benz GL350 and Audi Q7, all of which offer less power and passenger seating but much better fuel economy. The LX’s starting price is about $ 17,000 more than that of the 4WD Infiniti QX80, and about $ 10,000 more than that of an AWD Cadillac Escalade. Before buying, be sure to check the Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price to see what others in your area are paying for the 2015 Lexus LX. Resale value is a brighter spot, with the Lexus LX 570 expected to hold its value very well over the years.
Sticking with the "if it's not broken, don't fix it" mantra, the Lexus LX received yet another facelift in 2015, a more in-depth one this time.
In 2012, the Lexus LX got refreshed, sporting a new look thanks to LED daytime running lights, new headlights, larger fog lamps, big spindle grille, new bumpers, taillights and rims.
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.
2015 Lexus LX Consumer Reviews

Great SUV
Moved up to the LX 570 from a GX 460 with growing family. Great SUV so far. Great engine, quiet ride, luxurious interior. Our LX came with every option. The surround camera is a plus when parking this massive vehicle.
Considered Mercedes GL but went with Lexus because of reliability and resale value.
Third Row seat is terrible. Less trunk space with third row down and up than others in the class. Gas mileage sucks with premium fuel only. Oh yeah, and its pricey. However, if you can afford the vehicle you can afford the gas mileage.

"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

Critics Reviews
2017 Lexus LX Review by Ben Koses | September 27, 2018 Although the 2017 Lexus LX has exceptional off-road capabilities and one of the best predicted reliability ratings in the luxury large SUV class, it has a cramped cargo hold and dated interior styling. As a result, it ranks in the middle of its class.
Overview. The 2017 Lexus LX 570 is a handsome and powerful full-size SUV with a luxurious cabin that seats eight. Its rugged body-on-frame architecture, sophisticated drivetrain and adjustable suspension ensure that the LX is more than just a pretty face.
The 2017 Lexus LX 570 now offers the Lexus Safety System+ as a standard feature, while a cool box option now requires getting the rear seat entertainment package. The Lexus LX 570 is a full-size ...
