Edmunds' Expert Review
Yes, it costs well over $60,000. But for the money, you'd be hard-pressed to find a more versatile, luxurious and capable vehicle.

This was the 5th Lexus we've purchased
and it's wonderful. I just traded in
my 1998 LX470 that had 100K on it, and
never had any problems the entire time
I owned it. I thought that care was
so wonderful, and this one is even
eons better. Smooth, quiet, great
stereo, great nav system...doesn't get
any better.

THis is my 6th lx470. It is a wonderful
vehicle to drive and the low hp240 is
not a factor for every day driving. The
comfort and the quality of the vehicle
is great. Using the current gear shift
system and taking off the overdrive on
climbing hills or passing, you would'nt
know it has a low hp. This is a luxury
car ride in an SUV. If you are towing
something the it may feel a little
underpowered. How often does the
average 470 owner have something in
tow? You won't get me buying anything
but a 470. An upgrade in the cargo
space and hp will be great in the new
model, but for now this baby is the
cream of the crop.

Well built, quality SUV. Expensive yes,
but the cost is offset by the joy of
driving and the dependability. Better
than any of the three Mercedes I owned.
The bottom line is: would I buy another
one. The answer:yes.But why would I
want to part with this one?

This is my 3rd LX470. One of the
nicest vehicals I have ever driven.
With decent tires you can't ever get
stuck. Best 4 wheeel drive in its
class. Quiet and comfortable. The
Lx470 will do large number of miles in
a day with no stress to the driver.
