2014 LX

2015 Lexus LX 570

Pros: Smooth, muscular V8 power; impressive off-road capability; near library-quiet cabin; soft yet reasonably composed ride

Cons: Fuel economy; steep starting price; doesn’t offer significantly more than similar Toyota Land Cruiser

CG Says: The 2015 Lexus LX 570 gets Siri Eyes Free Mode for iPhone users and an updated Lexus Enform smartphone app. The Lexus LX is a premium large SUV that is based on the same trucklike body-on-frame platform as the Toyota Land Cruiser. A 383-horsepower 5.7-liter V8 mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission with standard 4-wheel drive is the sole powertrain. This “Lexus Land Cruiser” doesn’t have quite the cachet of the Audi Q7 or Mercedes-Benz GL-Class, which offer thrifty diesel power. Nor does it have the in-your-face style of the Cadillac Escalade. However, LX 570 offers plenty of room, refinement, and luxury; laudable safety and performance features; and is highly capable off-road. The only reason to pay more for LX 570 over Toyota’s own Land Cruiser is Lexus’ reputation for kid-gloves customer treatment.
