2015 Lexus LX 570 Detailed Review and Road Test 

Just noticed after I posted that you caught that as well.

when i saw this comment i was thinking like a slip up not every time saying its air...

Thank you!

Word.

HCS stands for Hella Cash System!

Everyone that I have ever known that has owned a Jag has hated it. From burning down in driveways to $1000s in simple repairs. This going back for 45 years.

Land Cruiser beats the Lexus 570 in my opinion.

amen to that

Solid take

I just got one...pearl white on tan...love it

Thinking of getting one this week. Hows the mpg for you? Lol

Well, this usually depends on your body shape and preferences, but in general I try to adjust to a more upright posture. Your steering wheel should be close enough that arms straight out your wrists are at the wheel level (hands farther forward) and your legs should be able to both be flat on the floorboards behind the pedals. That said, there are several cars that I was never able to get comfortable in, but other people find just fine.

Thank you for the reply!!!

I was there on Friday at the media preview, but I'm probably not going to go back.

rubiks15 Thanks.

It was a touch decision but I was being pulled in too many different directions to make the LA Auto Show work this year. On the flip side, hopefully I will be able to get my hands on the new Murano for a full review early next year.

Alex on Autos Will you be at Detroit in January?

Elliott Manning It is still too early to tell, but I hope so.

They really ruined it in 2016. I'm watching this in 2023 because I want to buy this year, since it's the last good year.

Glad you found us again!

Good question. In terms of best overall MPG and C02 emissions among the car manufacturers, from 2012 to 2014, the EPA ranked Toyota/Lexus #6, behind Mazda, Honda, Subaru, Nissan and Volkswagen. Despite having many hybrid vehicles in their line-up, their trucks and SUVs bring the averages down, like this LX570, Toyota Sequoia and Land Cruiser.

You mean like the Ford Excursion? Lol.

I hope so, but I don't have any dates yet.

What did you end up getting?

In stock form the LX570 will run circles around a Tundra offroad.

It's a private course in the Santa Cruz Mountains.

grab it used...

According to the paperwork from Lexus it was a 2015. But manufacturer provided cars can sometimes have a jumble of options and I have seen paint color oddities like this before.

Alex on Autos no only that the 2015 interior is completely different

HowTo LetsPlay I'm not sure what you mean. Lexus said no changes were made to the interior or exterior or engine. 2015 simply adds Enform App Suite, iHeart Radio and Siri Eyes Free. 2016 will bring more changes however.

Alex on Autos idk how but here in dubai the interior is differnet idk try searching on google images 2015 lexus lx interior

Yes they do

A F A LX570: 9.8/10 Range Rover: 0.0000000001/10

Well that was fast!

Alex on Autos That's what his girlfriend just told him.

+WHO9119 lol

I dig what you are saying, but it just seems like a silly mission: off road luxury that's grocery getter cushy. Granted, that's the same mission as the Range Rover, but that's a truly premium vehicle, not a gussied up Taco.

Yeah they will be laughed at because a lot of them will still be on the road in 20 years still mechanically sound while all of the 20 year old Range Rovers will have been in the junk yard for years. Just Saying

MROW1997 This is kind of true, and kind of false. Known traits of Toyotas: 1. Prone to serious rust. The first gen Tundras were actually recalled for rust through frames. Nice. 2. Poor fuel economy. Crazy but true. Look at their fleet across the board. Look at the FJ Cruiser. Other than Prius and Corolla, most Toyotas are gas pigs compared the competition. Look it up! 3. Non-competitive styling. Such a conservative company is often a generation behind the curve in features and modernity. Witness the Tacoma. It's actually a joke compared to the new Colorado. Ditto with the Tundra. Even the OLD F150 was superior to the Tundra. Not that Toyotas are "bad" vehicles, but they sell off their reputation from 20-30 years ago. The Detroit 3 DON'T sell off their bad reputation from 20-30 years ago. And our collective opinion of something like a Range Rover is also probably 20-30 years out of date, along with Jag, Fiat, etc. These, of course, are just my opinions. I welcome discussion.

Arslan Khalid It's very true what you say. But I think the Lexus was built EXPRESSLY for the US market. The African and Asian types you mention would either buy the Land Cruiser version, or they'd buy a Range Rover, or a real pickup truck. The super rich wouldn't slum it in the Lexus (RR, Porsche, G wagon, new Bently SUV coming and new Lambo too). Nope; this behemoth is made solely for Rodeo Drive and upscale soccer moms. What you also hint at is very true; in America there's no good reason to buy this when you are spoiled for choice in 4x4 vehicles. For perhaps 20grand less, you could have a top of the line diesel 4 door pickup with 850 ft/lbs of torque, better mileage, air suspension, tows 30,000, and on and on. Conclusion: you're paying for the Lexus badge.

***** get a wrangler and crash then it blow your head off with that 4star euro ncap safety rating, get a mustang then it will break in couple of years, get a honda fit and it doesn't fit 8 people, so ?
