Used 2020 Lexus LX 570 SUV Consumer Reviews
Too much for too little
Looks like a typical Lexus box car. Lexus needs a younger designer to move them towards state-of-the-art or aerodynamic design. Great paint as expected. Feels like the vehicle was designed for small people. Small interior for the class. Not a lot of leg room for second row. Seats are not that comfortable in comparison to an Escalade. Technology is 8 years outdated. The navigation system sucks. Useless Lexus apps included. Has many special features that you must view the manual or youtube to learn about these great tips. 14 MPG. However, expected low mileage on premium gas. Rides great on the freeway, streets, or off-road. Is a rocket in Sport mode and responds well when given the gas. Most reliable vehicle ever. Have never had a single mechanical problem.
Never owning another Lexus
Bought a 2020 LX after owning 4 Toyota Land Cruisers (2020 LX is the same as 2021. The only reason we decided on the LX was because it has suspension - it lowers to the ground when parked. We wanted that for the elderly people in our family, and they have been in our car twice in two years. The pickup is absolutely horrible - so much slower than the land cruiser. Its in the shop every four months (granted, we've put 60,000 miles in two years), but when the service people say later that day, its three days later we get it back. Another thing is when you hit 60 MPH, the steering wheel starts to vibrate. We told the service team when it was in the shop and they never fixed it. We also like the rugged look of the land cruiser much better. The infotainment is awful. The mouse is totally unnecessary (although you get used to it) and you can't control whether the air is blowing at you face or at your feet without using the mouse and clicking a bunch of buttons on the screen. Super inconvenient. The fact that the car doesn't have apple car play is mind boggling. with the Lexus Inform bluetooth system the phone will randomly;y disconnect and won't play music unless, again, like the climate system, use the mouse and click a bunch of buttons. Imagine trying to type in an address to the navigation system! The Mark Levinson surround sound system doesn't work either. We didn't have this many issues with all four land cruisers combined (we've owned land cruisers since 1994, and we currently have a 2015). Also not a fan of the color choices. Wanted silver (the silver the land cruiser had) but we had to opt for the Atomic Silver which is like a gold-tan-gray-brown. We also have red interior and it has black accents, which is really hard to see in the dark if you drop something. Unfortunately they have stopped land cruiser production in the US so we can't trade in for another one. Looking in to trading in the LX for a different car because o all the problems - and we won be purchasing another Lexus EVER. So disappointed with the car in general, and with the service. All the hype is not worth it. Not happy with it at all. DO NOT BUY!!!
