2020 Lexus LX 570 Review

Name: 2020 Lexus LX 570
Brand: Lexus
Price: 53817 USD

Price Estimate: $48,990

The 2020 Lexus LX 570 is old. It remains an impeccably built and impressive piece of machinery. Its strengths, particularly as an off-roader, make it worthy of consideration. But the two-row version lacks some of the three-row's practicality, and most buyers' needs will be better served by other vehicles.

The only SUV that matters

db, 10/08/2017

2017 Lexus LX 570 4dr SUV 4WD (5.7L 8cyl 8A)

I have a 2017 LX 570 and this is my third LX dating back to 2002. My previous vehicle was a 2006 LX; I absolutely love the upgrades both internally and externally. I would not comment on the mpg as a negative--especially considering this is a full-time four-wheeled drive vehicle that weighs over 7,000 lbs--poor mpg is to be expected. I considered purchasing a Mercedes G Wagon or a …

Mountain goat on steroids in a tuxedo

Jack, 01/15/2020

2020 Lexus LX 570 Two-Row 4dr SUV 4WD (5.7L 8cyl 8A)

I am one of the rare luxury SUV owners that occasionally uses the vehicle in true off-road conditions while on my gentlemen's hunting trips. The LX is luxuriously beautiful both inside and out, which pleases my wife, but also has plenty of room for my dog and equipment. It readily goes where I need it to go. It has a locking differential to put it in "mountain goat" mode. which is … more and more difficult to find on large luxury SUVs. Mercedes GLS doesnt have it; Even Range Rover no longer offers a locking differential unless you opt for one of the higher end trims with a bigger engine... (that was my second choice of vehicle.) The LX has plenty of power and mass to tow my boat. And, it has Lexus reliability too. Happy! -----UPDATE AFTER THREE YEARS OF OWNERSHIP----- Everything I wrote above in my initial review still holds. As expected. the reliability of the LX has been perfect. Absolutely no problems. My only trips to the dealer have been for regularly scheduled maintenance. I previously had a GX 460, which gave me six years of perfect reliability. So, that's a total of nine years of perfection in the reliability area... Thanks, Lexus! So after this time, what else do I like? My two-row version gives me a cavernous fully coverable cargo space behind the second row. I have no use for a third row and am so glad I had the option for a well-appointed two-row version. What don't I like? The mandatory "optional" 21-inch wheels and tire size are stupid. The odd size yields very limited tire-replacement options. (Update... Michelin recently came out with an excellent replacement tire in the size I need... Defender LTX... which is what I bought) I also think the wheels and tires are not matched well to the vehicle's suspension as it had a tendency to wander on the highway, requiring regular minor adjustments in steering. The tires and wheels are the only issue that I find annoying. Otherwise it continues to be a very good, reliable vehicle for my needs. Still very happy after four years. ------UPDATE AFTER FIVE AND A HALF YEARS OF OWNERSHIP----- All of the above still holds true. My 2020 Lexus LX 570, with the two-row only option, has been perfectly reliable and perfectly functional in all this time. Not one malfunction or flaw in any way... nothing, nada, zilch. It just works. It has been a nearly perfect vehicle for my needs. I am considering trading it on a new vehicle early next year, for no other reason than it will be time for something new after six years. I will consider a new Lexus LX 700h. But one disadvantage I see is that there is not a 'two-row only' option offered on the "Luxury" trim level like I have on my current LX 570. Even though there is a two row option offered on other trim levels, I don't care for them as much as the "Luxury" trim level. From pictures it appears that the third row stays partially elevated when folded on the new LX 700h, intruding on cargo space. That's an unfortunate negative and may force me to look elsewhere for my next SUV. Elimination of the split tailgate is also a negative on the new LX700h. But, if Lexus can satisfactorily address those issues on the new LX 700h I would be highly inclined to purchase another Lexus LX.

2016 Lexus LX 570 4dr SUV 4WD (5.7L 8cyl 8A)

If you're looking to purchase a strong, reliable, luxurious large SUV, the LX 570 is truly the BEST choice available. This is my third Lexus vehicle. I've owned the 2016 LX for a few months, and it is truly confidence inspiring. It feels strong and solid, without sacrificing luxury and comfort. It feels as though it was built to go the ends of the Earth and, more importantly, MAKE IT …

Great Rig

Chris M, 04/03/2019

2019 Lexus LX 570 Three-Row 4dr SUV 4WD (5.7L 8cyl 8A)

I own a 2019 LX 570 with all the options except the cooler and rear entertainment system. My previous vehicle was a 2017 Platinum Tundra with a leveling kit and custom wheels/tires and a bunch of ad on's. I'm use to driving larger vehicles. I could see the LX 570 being an intimidating vehicle if you are not accustomed to driving a truck or larger SUV. I don't have any serious …
