Lexus LX 570
The Lexus LX 570 is a full-size luxury SUV that is also a fully capable off-roader. In the final year of the third-generation LX, the LX 570 was offered in two trim levels: Two-Row and Three-Row. Both came well equipped with leather trim, a 12.3-inch infotainment display, quad-zone climate control, a power liftgate, and a range of advanced driver-assist features. Heated and ventilated front and rear seats were available, as was higher-quality semi-aniline leather, a rear-seat entertainment system, and a center-console refrigerator. Power came from a 5.7-liter V8 engine with full-time four-wheel drive.

Third generation Lexus LX 570
The Toyota Land Cruiser is well known for its legendary off-road prowess, and if you want that capability with the luxury trimmings of a Lexus, the LX is the model for you. The LX 570 was the third generation of the LX and the longest-lasting, going 13 years without a major redesign. Seating was available for up to eight passengers in three rows; however, Lexus added a two-row version in 2018. As expected of a Lexus, the LX 570 featured high-quality materials throughout its cabin, with soft leather and stylish wood accents.
Powering the LX 570 was a 383-horsepower 5.7-liter V8. A six-speed automatic was standard when the SUV arrived but was upgraded to an eight-speed automatic in 2016. The EPA-estimated fuel economy was 14 mpg combined, although it improved to 15 mpg with the eight-speed transmission. In addition to its full-time four-wheel drive, the LX 570 had 8.9 inches of ground clearance, adaptive suspension technology, and crawl control, adding to its off-road capability.
