The Luxury Land Cruiser | 2021 Lexus LX 570

[@tsangsir8827]

I owned the Range Rover and X7 before I ended up purchasing the LX570. Comfort, usability, handling, and the confidence just can't beat the LX570. And I bought that especially before they go turbo trouble.

[@gengstar09]

So excited for the redesign. This model can not come soon enough!

[@edmlegend7224]

It’ll probably look similar to the new land cruiser redesign in Europe

[@gengstar09]

@@edmlegend7224 if it does, that’ll be awesome! It’s a handsome look!

[@PaddyMcMe]

The LX570 models from 2011-2015 looked like tanks from the rear. The size of the dual rear tail-lights were HUGE. It especially looked good in the Lexus Pearl/White paint. Lexus always does the best paint, I remember when I bought an LS430 for my father the salesman at the Lexus Dealership was telling me about how it had over 23kg of paint on it. And that the front windscreen was coated in artificial sapphire to stop stones causing windscreen cracks, like a luxury watch, except, you know, A WHOLE WINDSCREEN. That car was insane. Lexus spared no expense. It even had Birds Eye Maple wood on the inside and they specifically used cuts from the same tree for each car so that the 'birds eye' effect of the wood was consistent. Insane.

Just remember that a lot of the Tundra this gen of LC is based on was carryover from the last gen Tundra, so the roots of this vehicle are a lot closer to 2000/2001. The only other vehicles on the road that I know of with roots that are over 15 years old are the charger/challenger/300 and Nissan frontier, both of which are are being redesigned and being replaced respectively, but even then the new frontier is just a new body and trans with a modified engine, the frame and such is the same

[@alejandroguerra104]

Best car ever. I have a 2019 LX. I only wish it had slightly better towing capabilities.

[@runnerxa]

It can tow more than 7000# if you upgrade the stock coil springs which are rated at 170#/in (aka soft). Originally LX570 was rated to tow ~8100# but was derated in 2011ish because folks were overloading the AHC. The main complaint was the ride being stuck on AHC-LOW. AHC has decent overhead built in it to allow you to go over 7000# but not to 8100#. Look up on IH8MUD and see how people have installed uprated coil springs (OME 2721/2722 and Icon 2" dual rated springs) to assist the AHC. The dual rated springs (OME 2721 and Icon) are rated between 270#/in to 340#/in. The coil springs will take up more weight and ease AHC loading thus allow for increased payload/tongue weight. The axle weight is rated the same as LC200, which is rated to tow up to 8100#.

[@normaspirated]

I can't understand why Lexota couldn't integrate the LX's 3rd row seats to stow into the floor with this generation like the current GX. 03-09 GX - 3rd row stowed vertically next to window 08-Present LX - 3rd row stowed vertically next to window 10-Present GX/10-Present 4runner - 3rd row stowed into floor wtf

[@maheenjillani]

This is an old design with lipstick over it. It’s body on frame so putting the seats into the floor would mean redesigning the entire car.

[@scholz222]

Same reason the Tahoe and suburban have that bump in the back before the redesign

[@Voltedge89]

The new land cruiser 300 have integrated 3rd row seat at the expense of about 6 gallons fuel capacity.

[@scholz222]

@@Voltedge89 and it will also have a huge hump in the second row.

[@M1911jln]

This is a very old design and the rear floor is relatively high due to the need for clearance of the solid rear axle and the underfloor storage of the spare tire. Yes, the GX 3rd row stows into the floor but to do so they raised the floor height about 5 inches. So when you open the rear door on the GX, the sill of the door is about 5 inches below the floor height. The 3rd row of the GX takes up a ton of cargo room. The 5th Gen 4Runner without the 3rd row has 80 cu ft of cargo space with the second row folded. The GX has only 60 cu ft of cargo space with the 2nd and 3rd row folded -- that is a huge loss of cargo space. For me, I'd much rather have the 3rd row seats in the LandCruiser and LX as they are now, so that I can take remove them as I don't need them. Once they are integrated, you can't remove them and you never get that cargo space back. This is a large, heavy, off-road capable SUV. That comes with a lot of compromises -- heavy weight, rougher ride from the solid rear axle, relatively poor on-road handling, and less interior room. If you don't need the off-road capability, then a crossover like an X7 or GLS is likely a better vehicle for you.

The biggest competitor for the Lexus LX is the Toyota Land Cruiser Toyota solved that problem by killing off the Land Cruiser in the US There's simply more profit in selling the LX, and we'll have a new Lexus LX next year So if you want the new Cruiser, you better expatriate, or kick it old school

[@maheenjillani]

I think it was because Land Cruiser sales were just too low. A buyer who can afford a Land Cruiser can and will prefer the LX because it is the same car but much more premium. Axing the Land Cruiser in the US just made sense and was a win win for Toyota/Lexus

[@InvestBetter.]

@@maheenjillani The facts don't support that argument. Their sales are usually pretty close, and this year, the Cruiser is almost 2-1 ahead of the LX. They both sell 3-4k a year, usually. I see why Lexus is doing it. From a business case, it makes sense. If they sold the new Cruiser, I'd get that over the Lexus, because the Land Cruiser name means more to me. It's Toyota's #1 global brand, and the toughest truck on Earth. That matters.

[@maheenjillani]

@@InvestBetter. no clue where you got your data. Quick google search shows the LX sold 4700 in 2019 and the Land Cruiser was 3100 in 2019. Pretty massive difference so it makes sense why they would axe the Land Cruiser. Maybe you would rather have the Toyota but let’s be real. In the US, hardly anyone is offroading these. I can’t remember the last time I saw a new land cruiser or LX on a trail, it’s all small jeeps and older cars. In reality, these cars were status symbols and anyone who was looking to buy it preferred the LX because it was nicer for not much more money.

[@runnerxa]

How many 3rd row SUVs sold in the last decade that are off-road capable in the US? When you have a large family and also enjoy the travelling the remote areas, there is pretty much just one or two choices for the last decade. Either the LC200/LX570 or the LR3/4. Escalade, Suburban, Tahoe/Yukon, QX80, Armada, Sequoia, Expedition, and Navigator are all nice large 3 row SUV but they can't really off-road that well even if you upgrade the tires. Smaller SUVs like the 4Runner/GX are capable off-road but have narrow/tight 3rd rows. On long distance trips, your 3rd row passengers will hate you. Adventure variants of crossovers like the Telluride have decent 3rd row but can't off-road that well even with a small lift/better tires. You get much more legroom and interior width for baby car seats/passengers with the larger LC200/LR4. With the LC200/LX570 and LR3/4, you are essentially choosing between reliability or off-road prowess. Now that the Grand Wagoneer is making a come back, introduction of the Grand Cherokee L, and potentially a 3 row version of the Defender, we will have more options for the those of us with large families.

[@chewie94116]

[@100200songlin]

Alex I hope that A for fuel economy score was a mistake cuz you rated the infinity QX80 a B. The infinity is actually slightly more fuel efficient according to official numbers.

[@paulandrebeccak5680]

Yes, our QX80 has been averaging 18 mpg over 7k miles in mixed driving which is 50% better than what Alex got in the LX, that's a huge difference. Plus the INFINITI runs on regular. Interior is nicer on the Lexus (except the terrible joystick we had on our LS460), but I don't understand the huge price premium.

[@runnerxa]

The score should have been a B or B- for fuel economy. I own a LX570 and I am certain he would get similar mpg to EPA (12mpg/17mpg) for the LX if he hadn't drive over 2000'. When my vehicle was stock with all season tires and loaded with 6 people plus luggages, I average 17/18mpg. The LX570 has the same engine as the Land Cruiser/Tundra/Sequoia. You can run regular on it, engine power will be 381hp/401ft-lb. On premium, it will be 383hp/403ft-lb. So I stick to using regular fuel since my butt in the seat does not feel the extra 2hp/2ft-lb. The price difference is that you can really off-road with the LX570 and not worry about it breaking down. Take a look underneath the Land Cruiser 200 platform and you will notice that it is virtually flat with everything tucked up above & next to the frame (hence the interior has less headroom). This is primarily to prevent snagging obstacles while off-roading. None of the competitive SUVs (including the Toyota Sequoia) except the Land Rovers have a flat underbody. Plus there are enough aftermarket accessories to modify it very easily with smaller wheels/bigger tires, differential lockers, and the whole expedition setup because it is a common Land Cruiser platform. You can easily put 33" tires on it without trimming, and 34" tires with slight trimming. If you do not plan to venture far off-road or into remote places, then the QX80 is a better/wiser choice. I do wish that Nissan would offer an off-road trim for the Armada or QX80. If so, I would definitely take a hard look at the value proposition.

I have an relative who owns one of this for a while and yeah, im super disappointment with the very dated infotainment system.

Disappointed not on their choice but rather how strong the Toyota/Lexus brand can get a way with.

If the Land Cruiser were coming here, with the LX, I'd get the Cruiser It has a heritage and a cache the LX cannot match Land Cruiser sales have almost tripled this year, now that Toyota is killing it off Toyota is hoping all of that demand will fall to the LX, with the Cruiser out of the way.....

Fuel Economy Rating is "A" ?!?! Come on Alex :-D

14 mpg is really unnecessary with 2021 technology. Really needs an engine update.

There is a market for replaceable Land Cruiser badging I see

It's like he's reviewing an early period International Scout. I guess it doesn't matter how primitive a vehicle is if it's reliable. This is a vehicle only Scotty Kilmer could love.

12MPG which was below EPA rating and still it gets an A for fuel economy? Sounds like a heavy duty truck with huge gas engine territory when it comes to gas mileage. I wouldn’t be surprised F250 with V8 7.3 or Ram 2500 power wagon with 392hemi gets better mileage than this.
