With standalone trim, the LX 570 carries a base price of MSRP of $81,530. Its 5.7L V8 and 8-speed automatic transmission give the SUV 383 horsepower and 403 lb-ft of torque. With that, it manages a 0-60 of 7.4 seconds and boasts a towing capacity of 7,000 pounds. Moving to fuel economy, the LX 570 manages to get a combined EPA rating of 14 MPG, a poor number for the class, giving its rivals an edge. It also has a ground clearance of 8.9 inches.
Buying Advice
Being one of the luxurious offerings from Lexus, the LX 570 is a standalone trim model boasting uber comforts like automatic climate control, leather upholstery, heated power front seats, a rearview camera, a power-folding third-row seat, and so forth.
