Autosavant's Kevin Gordon reviews the 2013 Lexus LX 570. Here, Kevin provides his impressions of the full size SUV. The LX manages to be highly composed on road, but still fully capable off road.
FUN FACT: 10 year old used lexus lx 570 with 100k miles average cost 30-35k. 10 year old escalade- around 18-20k. 2008 Land rover Range rover (10 years old) you can get for 12-13k with 100k miles. You can look it up yourself. And all those trucks brand new cost about the same 100k for each one, depreciation speaks for itself lol.
Good review. Thanks Kevin. I am using it right now and it is worth spending. It is good if we use the car in different situations--on road and off road.
Mr. Bradford I know this is old but could you by chance tell me how this Lx is on the highway? How's the passing power, does the wind blow it around, and is the cabin quiet? Sorry for the random questions but I'd really appreciate your advice.
I know this is older, but I can tell you. I own a 2015 LX570 Sport and yes, it has a lot more passing power than you'd think. Acceleration isn't that good from 0, but if you put your put down all the way on the highway, it really goes. It doesn't move you but you sort of glide over the road a lot faster. The cabin is relatively quiet even at high speeds, especially if your AC recirc is on.
John, not compelled. Every car we get is under the same set of circumstances and many we have been critical about. I did want to be honest that prior to reviewing it I had admired the LX and its Land Cruiser brother. After spending a week and putting a lot of miles on it I still really liked it.
Nice review man.. It's my dream car and it cost $220k in my country but its not stoping me to save my money, I hope I can afford it in the end of next year 2014.. Aamiin
By far the most positive of Kevin's reviews that I've seen. Can really tell this vehicle fits what he wants for his personal situation. I like your reviews. You typically give enough of the bad and good points of the car that allow the viewer to decide what he likes or which negatives are not important. Your GS350 review was key in my purchase of my vehicle.
My next car...I actually like the older versions more than the 2016....will look for one in a couple years. These cars really hold onto their value not like GMC SUVs' which depreciate like crazy
2016 and after come with 8 speed transmission. 2015 and before come with 6 speed . Most of my friends and I did own old and new lx. 8 speed win. Smooth and saving a little bit gas compare to 6 speed lx .
It should, but people see the Range Rover as flashier and sportier. They also lease a lot of them so they don’t have to worry about maintenance or repairs. Then…. Value drops like a rock once warranty is up.

I prefer the Infiniti QX80 with more horsepower 400, 7speed electronic transmission, forward/ lane collision warning and braking, hydroelectric suspension, power recline third row seats, and priced less than the Lexus LX570.
I think this guy felt compelled to give a glorious review. A car is your hero? C'mon... After all, Lexus gave him an essentially $100K SUV for a week to take his family on a road trip to Florida. If he didn't give an over-the-top review, he can kiss their a $ $ next time!
There are at least four new ones just in my subdivision alone, not that rare. Lol. They are all over my town, more LXs than Landcruisers too. I personally hate them, think they are ugly and the interior not as nice as Ranges or GLs and the price is crazy. Infiniti QX is better to me.
