Adil Khan Well Adi, I tend to keep vehicles for a long time, as long as they hold up mechanically and aesthetically. My LX is simply as nice today as when I bought it, and with the investment markets as volatile as they’ve been, being debt free feels much more comfortable than carrying a 50-60K auto debt. (But I must admit, I’ve been sorely tempted from time to time!)

When I started working and making good money out of college (Accounting) I went and bought a black LX570, no one understand why a 22 year old single dude likes to drive a Behemoth but honestly I just love it so much, the sense of power this truck gives you is amazing, And I’m gonna drive it till I’m 60

We don't sell many of these at Lexus. Few people have use for such a large vehicle and elite off-road capability AND luxury. However, if you have a large family, and money was no object, the reliability/durability, size and comfort of this LX is definitely worth considering.

I can imagine, but this SUV is really popular here in Lagos and i believe the same is applicable in Abuja as well.

Frankly I think the Lexus LX is the best compromise in the luxury SUV segment. It’s comfortable, durable, and off road capable. No other entry is all of those. Range rovers aren’t durable. The QX80 and Navigator aren’t off road capable. They’re all comfortable obviously but I do factor reliability into comfort. If my car could break at any second, I would be terrified to drive it. Obviously I’m exaggerating but you get my point. What I think Lexus should do is offer two versions of the LX: one with proper 4WD and independent rear suspension for improved comfort, practicality, and efficiency; and one like this to be off road capable.

Alex yo do a great job reviewing every car my request is can you review the lx 570 with third row thanks.Your a reviews are the best.

This and the land cruiser are one of the few full size SUV nameplates that still actually make sense to buy and keep long term. I would not put any faith in owning an ecoboost powered $100k Navigator past 50k miles, or a Land Rover past warranty either. Cars are becoming a disposable commodity at a rapid pace and rest assured the LX and LC are some of the last of their breed when it comes to extreme service life, durable vehicles and I expect the resale values on these will reflect that immensely. I just wonder if the 300 series (if we ever get one) will follow the same ethos or fall prey to the trends of short term consumerism. I certainly hope not.

+Ray lolwut? Are you even paying attention to the auto industry? Everything is moving towards lease and move onto the newer car when its up. You want to own a new Audi, range rover, BMW, mercedes for 10 years? That's financial suicide at this point. It used to be feasible to buy a car, and if you chose to repair it for 20 years, that was fine. Now even an econobox can become a financial nightmare in less than 10 years once all the electronic bloat starts going bad and the cost of replacing some minor part ends up being more than than the vehicle's value.

+Ray You really must be painfully obtuse. The points I previously made are exactly in agreement with your last post. I never have bought a brand new car and never will. That is like burning money. I own a 58, 98, and an 02 and I ain't going any newer than that - too much built in electronic obsolescence in modern stuff for my tastes. I was lauding Toyota/Lexus for still building a car you can buy and sleep well knowing it will likely last way more than 10 years. I think the trend of getting a new car every few years is asinine, but hey that's what this new generation is about.

This is a fantastic review of LX 570. Very lucid and precise ! It is good that LX comes in a 2 row seat trim. I think u can save over $5000 over the 3 row seat trim. My dream SUV :)

Nice "Alex on Autos" ad on the car and on the license plate. Great review as always. Learn a lot.

What a great review.

good detailed review.

Love the split tailgate.

Many owners report problems with massaging seats in the Navigator. Not that good a value if what you paid for doesn't work. Along the same lines, reliability and durability are even more important features if you ever intend to go off road. Looking at you Range Rovers.

If only i had $100K. btw, the hydraulic kneeling system, i dont know how reliable it is. but if your warranty ends and that things malfunction, you are going to expect a huge bill from repair/replace.

Where the heck was that road you did the test drive on? Good test,great review. Tks

I honestly just love the LX 570 especially the two row more storage and honestly in most suvs the third row is always to tight

Very impressive commentary

Very good analysis. One of the best I have watched. The Navigator (a Ford) is not going to be more reliable than the Lexus and reliability is huge for my wife and I. So for us the 570 wins.

Wait! The trunk comfort index is back?

Was very close to ordering a 2018 Toyota Land Cruiser but with Lexus incentives plus realizing I would be getting much better after sales service plus a few upgrades here and there that were not offered on the L.C., I went with a 2018 Lexus LX570 and just paid only $4,000 more for a fully optioned LX570.

looks agressive and sleek. I dig it. would take this over the QX80 with that 10 year old interior although the exterior is super nice

It’s nice but the lack of space would bother me if I was in the market for a full size.

I love my lx 570.

Wow my 2011 Tundra Limited has an electric thigh extender. Odd that this does not. Same engine as my Tundra. Bulletproof.

Alex, it is also possible that the spindle grille is growing on you. I also though that it looks awful at start, and now I kinda dig it. The same as when audi first went to the now ubiqutious grille in 2004.

Thanks for the great review Alex. No Cadi Escalade for the comparison?

How does Lexus GX460 compare to the LX570 in terms of durability, reliability and longevity? Trying to decide between the two for my personal daily driver to work (city) and family (2 kids, Labrador) vehicle for long distance trips, camping/off road, etc. For budget reasons, considering used 2013-15 LX or slightly newer 2015-17 GX to keep "forever"... Would really appreciate thoughts...thank you!

Questtt3 the newer GXs are basically like the 2012 models. It’s worth giving the older LXs a look because not only is it more luxurious, more comfortable, and more spacious, you can also tow a great deal. I find that the hydraulic suspension is extremely useful due to low parking garages etc etc. but, our old LX barely makes 14 mpg and it’s quite big, but it is extremely reliable and it tows our 22’ pontoon like a champ. Just my two cents, we moved up to a 2017 model LX recently and it’s a treat to drive.

I believe the 5.7L V8 in the LX and Land Cruiser (the 3UR-FE) still utilizes port fuel injection, not direct fuel injection. Good for durability.

The cruising​ range on this car is a pain though, something like 200+ miles on a full tank of gas.

Always used in comparison on Car & Driver in their In-Depth look metrics and is always last place. Lexus needs to step up their game against the competition.

This is the best car.

There is a little discrepancy between size offer he mentions, comparing it with Range Rover as competitor. Range Rover is unibody which make sit more modern SUVs with spacious cabin inside, similar to crossovers - unique. What is similar between Range Rover and Landcruiser is that they have same all time permanent, heavy expensive system of all SUVs, drivetrain that Subaru uses without mechanical locking differentials on axles. Range Rovers and Landcruisers have the best of all SUV system, for off-roading and for safety, difference are - one frame, the other one is spacious unibody.

Wow this thing is huge, I thought that Wrangler was a Miata initially.

0:58 America gets the Lexus GX 460; they just don't sell the Toyota equivalent Land Cruiser Prado J150. I don't know why you're implying the J200 is less offroad capable than the J150 though.

Isn't the Infinity/Patrol a part time old-school 4wd? I certainly thought so. That means 2wd on the road. By the way, my oldie Land Cruiser has or had an electronically actuated rear diff lock, but it hasn't worked in years, as well as hydraulically assisted height adjustable suspension with comfort mode which is faultless so far. All the salty road spray has killed either the electric motor or the connectors on the back axle, and since it adds near zero to its actual capability [no rock crawling here], it's not worth repairing.
