We Recommend

The Lexus LX 570 is available as a single trim offering only and hence it is our only recommendation. The availability of all features into one, allows the Lexus LX 570 to be heavily equipped and there is very little to complain about when it comes to the features and usability.

The engine that sits under the hood of the Lexus LX 570 is a 5.7L V8 unit that is good for 383hp of power and 403lb.-ft of torque. It comes attached to an 8-speed shiftable automatic transmission with an electronic control system and is channeled as a four-wheel-drive variant only.

It has the capability to boost from a halt to the 60 MPH mark in 7.2 seconds and the quarter-mile mark in 15.5 seconds. The difference in timings in both runs is caused by the brawny structure and heavy curb weight of the Lexus LX 570.

In comparison, the Lexus’ twin, the Toyota Land Cruiser, performs better clocking 6.7 seconds in the 60 MPH acceleration test, while the more powerful Infiniti QX80 manages a similar feat in 6.2 seconds. The quarter-mile results for both SUVs remain the same, while the Infiniti does record higher speed. In addition, the QX80 also makes use of a distinct 7-speed automatic transmission.

For big and brawny SUVs that are developed as family haulers, fuel-efficiency is the least important factor influencing the buying decision. The Lexus LX 570 feels like an embodiment of the segment in this regard, managing 13 and 18 miles per gallon of fuel in the city and on the highway respectively. A combined mileage of 15 MPG may seem less; however, it is the segment standard. The Lexus LX 570 has a total fuel capacity of 24.6 gallons and can cover a total range of 319.8 miles when sweeping through the lively streets of New York, and 422.8 miles when galloping on the highway.

In comparison, the Toyota Land Cruise is similar to the Lexus LX 570 in all aspects. On the other hand, the QX80 also manages a similar combined average of 15 MPG; however, its fuel tank of 26-gallons is the largest in the segment, and consequently, it covers the maximum range with the least fuel stops.

The cabin of the Lexus LX 570 feels ostentatious, palatial, and a lap of luxury. Though the cabin is a huge step up from the ground, it is worth all the effort. What grabs attention almost instantaneously, is the large tablet-like screen protruding from the dashboard. The use of wooden accents on the steering wheel, dash, and central console, is a clever take to increase the upmarket and luxurious aura of the cabin. There is ample storage space on offer and features like an illuminated vanity mirror, steering wheel controls, and lumbar support for the front seat passengers add immensely to the practicality of the cabin. As large as the LX 570 looks from the outside, it is from the inside; however, the third row of seats does feel cramped.

The front and second row of seats are extremely comfortable, with ample under-thigh support and great viewing angles. The leather upholstery feels premium, while the seats in themselves maintain character even during high-speed cornering. Uneven road patches and terrains are easy to tread on with the Lexus, and the tranquil cabin adds to the opulence. The total cargo capacity on offer at maximum occupancy is 15.5 cubic feet; however, with all seats folded it can be increased to 83.7 cubic feet.

In comparison, the Infiniti QX80 is the only car in the segment that can seat seven passengers. The similarities between the Toyota Land Cruiser and Lexus LX 570 also extend to its passenger space. In terms of cargo capacity, the Infiniti QX80 does establish its dominance with a trunk volume of 95.1 cubic feet, while the Land Cruiser lurks at the bottom of the table managing 81.7 cubic feet.

2016 Lexus LX 570 vs. 2016 Land Rover Range Rover

Both of these SUVs pack supreme luxury along with tremendous off-road capabilities. The Range Rover is more modern and looks better whereas the LX has a dated looking cabin but it is more reliable, in fact one of the most reliable vehicle among the competition.

The Range Rover if opted with a supercharged V-8 makes more power and is more fuel efficient but costs quiet a penny and also lacks the third row. On the other hand for some buyers the looks and the poor fuel economy on the LX might be a deal breaker.

2016 Lexus LX 570 vs. 2016 Cadillac Escalade

The Escalade makes more power and is more fuel efficient. Instead of calling the escalade a luxury SUV one should call it a lifestyle vehicle because one needs to be committed enough to own a vehicle like this.

The Escalade looks flashier from the outside and has sharper lines all around while the LX looks massive and bulbous. Both the SUVs are hard to maneuver around urban areas and have ample cargo capacity. The question is which one do you like better.

The Lexus LS 570 is beautifully crafted. It looks aesthetically pleasing and also performs decently. While its acceleration and fuel-efficiency are not particularly impressive, it is seemingly well for a luxury SUV that has the ability to be a family hauler. The selling point of the 2016 iteration of the Lexus LX 570 will be its durability and dynamism, with a cabin that is as luxurious as one would expect at its price point. Its aplomb towing capacity and hi-tech features do put it ahead of its competitors, but if you are looking for a vehicle for its speed and thrill, we may suggest you look elsewhere.
