Intro
This Lexus LX570 is the perfect example of what KNOWING your customers looks like!
I had family in town, so I rented this Lexus LX570, the Largest SUV Lexus makes and immediately regretted it.
The LX570 was made from 2008-2021 receiving two Facelifts in 2011 and 2015.
Powering the LX 570 is a 5.7-liter V8 engine that produces 383 horsepower and delivers 90-percent of its 403 lb.-ft. of peak torque at just 3,600 rpm.
Is the LX 570 the same as the Land Cruiser?
Lexus first introduced the LX model in 1996 and that was basically a rebadged Toyota Land Cruise, but a lot has changed since then. It still shares the underpinnings with the Land Cruiser, but it has been Lexufied with a lot more luxury items and features.
How much is the LX570?
2018-2019 LX570 $45-55K
Similar year competition is:
Range Rover: $30-50K
Similar G550: $70-80K
Both have depreciated a lot more than the Lexus
When did they stop making LX 570?
Last year was 2021, and by then it was lagging behind it’s competitors in the tech department…

I have a 2020. But it preowned. Single owner. Low miles. I love it.

[@RafaelDelrosario-v7c]

what part did you immediately regret ??? you lost me the moment you mention Land Rover.

Just so you know, when it comes to your phone, once you link it to your phone thats it, its all done, the vehicle remembers your phone for calls, music, data etc, and nothing beats the Lexus LX 570 little cool box in the middle, and with all the tech with the buttons and knobs, that old school clock in the middle of dash board Priceless.

Super smooth engine. Zero issues on our 2016. Ride feels better than our 2023 Lexus lx600.

[@Miguelsgarage]

WOW, that's quite a statement!

[@icuyouseeme]

Great review! I just got a 2016 with 60k miles on it and love the luxury feel along with off-road capability.

[@Miguelsgarage]

Great to hear!

Carplay and Android Auto can easily be retrofitted to the LC200/LX570 stock navigation screen for less than $1k. Which is cheap if you can afford these kinds of vehicle even though it would have been nicer if Lexus/Toyota included them from the start. The 3rd row seats on the LC200/LX570 can be removed with some socket wrenches if you don't need them. Can't do that with the GX460 nor the newer LX600, which fold flat and take up permanent space in the vehicle.

That's true! thanks for the add! Please consider subscribing if you haven't. I really appreciate it!

Just put in ZZ2 CarPlay retrofit and it is a NIGHTMARE!!!!! Disconnects, get duplicate routes with both Apple Play and Lexus Navigation. If you unplug and/or plug in your Iphone while driving, screen goes black!!!!! Now, an iPad on the dashboard is the answer or but 2022 GX 460 or 2022 LX 600. Also, run the risk of ruining your AC due to fact the navigation is integrated with radio!!!!! CRAZY IDEA. TAKING IT OUT OF MY RIDE!!!!!!!

[@daffymouse5309]

Do you have any links for the retrofit to CarPlay on the existing lx570 screen? I have a 2010 LX, which has some climate control features built into the screen.

[@wumao_gang1020]

I have family member who bought the lx570 mainly because it had no Apple CarPlay they said some stuff like how if there phone died or they had no service their car has a built in gps so they don’t have to worry about hooking their phone up. And also they saw their Chinese family members all buy a RX so why not pull up at the family parties in a LX

I own a 2017, and feel like a King when I'm in it. Hey Miquel, I would trade my old 2017 Lexus LX 570 for Toyotas (Lexus ) newer LX 600...that twin turbo V6 thats in the Tundra too, has big time issues ..and Toyota / Lexus will replace the entire engine...a $30,000 new engine job.

[@NKPMercedesEQS-ie6fq]

Have had a few of them. Love the LX570 platform
