2017 Lexus LX 570 review

1. Interior comfort 

There are three rows and eight seats inside the 2017 Lexus LX 570. If you're wondering what those rows feel like, you'll find 42.9 inches of legroom in the front, 34.4 inches in the center, and 28.4 inches in the rear. Throughout the cabin, a smart climate concierge system will monitor and adjust four distinct climate zones. And if you're lugging cargo, there's 9.1 cu-ft of space behind the third row, and when you fold both the third row up against the side walls and the second row down, you'll increase the hull to a solid 45 cu-ft. 

2. Full-cabin technology  

Upfront on the 2017 LX 570 is a 4.2-inch dashboard information display for the driver and a 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen in the center console. In the second row, you can look out for the 11.6-inch dual-screen entertainment system, which when paired with the 19-speaker Mark Levinson^® sound system, should impress even the youngest of passengers. Finally, a full-color heads-up display that can project audio, speed, and navigation directly onto the windshield is also available. 

3. Sophisticated wheelbase 

The suspension on the 2017 Lexus LX 570 is so good it deserves its own section. On both the front and rear end, you'll find fully independent double-wishbone coil spring suspensions, linked to electronically controlled shock absorbers and stabilizer bars. The luxury hardware comes paired with smart software—including crawl control, hill-start assist, multi-terrain select, and active height control, which offer torque sensing ergonomic flexibility, as the terrain might demand. 

4. Rugged powertrain  

Under the hood of the 2017 Lexus LX 570 is a 5.7L 383-horsepower V8 engine. Paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifter controls on the steering wheel, the engine-gearbox duo allows for plenty of versatility. It can produce a cool 403 lb-ft of torque, and tow an estimated 7,000 lbs, when properly equipped.

With a standard hitch on the rear, the LX 570 can also take care of your towing needs. 

5. Smart, styled lighting 

From the front, the 2017 Lexus LX 570 will have you staring in its eyes. Available in six sleek colors with a bold spindle grille up front, the LX 570 also offers both LED daytime running lights alongside triple-beam LED headlamps, which offer gallant practicality. These are not just shiny, bright lights—with an oncoming vehicle sensor, the intelligent beams adjust between low and high settings seamlessly.
