Vehicle Overview

Lexus spruces up the LX 570 luxury SUV for 2013 with new front styling to match the look seen on other Lexus cars, plus adds technology on the inside with its latest Enform suite of applications. The LX 570 is the luxury brand’s largest and priciest SUV. It seats eight and competes with other large SUVs like the Infiniti QX56, Mercedes-Benz ML-Class and Cadillac Escalade.Exterior
The 2013 LX 570 wears new front styling similar to the redesigned 2013 Lexus GS sedan and 2012 Lexus CT 200h. The grille is called the “spindle” in Lexus terminology, but it looks like an hourglass and brings new lighting options along with it. The headlamps are a new design and now feature LED daytime running lamps. Lexus also updated the rear with a revised bumper, taillights and trailer hitch cover. Exterior features include:

  • Standard high-intensity-discharge headlights
  • Standard adaptive headlights with pop-up headlight washers
  • LED taillights
  • 20-inch, five-spoke wheels
  • Standard heated side mirrors with integrated turn signals

Interior
Not much has changed to the interior’s overall style, but new gadgets are added. A larger information display in the gauge cluster shows digital readouts of speed, navigation directions, terrain mode and steering-wheel angle. A new multimedia system is added with the latest generation of Lexus Enform, which allows users to connect to applications like Pandora internet radio, OpenTable or MovieTickets.com through a paired smartphone. Interior features include:

  • Standard navigation system with Bluetooth phone connectivity (and streaming audio) and Lexus Enform
  • Standard auxiliary and USB/iPod inputs
  • Standard first-aid kit
  • Available air-conditioned seats, heated second row and heated steering wheel
  • Available pre-collision system with dynamic cruise control
  • Available dual-screen rear entertainment system

Under the Hood
Mechanical features include:

  • 5.7-liter V-8
  • 383 hp and 403 pounds-feet of torque
  • Zero to 60 mph in 7.5 seconds
  • Gas mileage of 12/18 mpg city/highway
  • Six-speed-automatic transmission
  • Full-time four-wheel drive
  • Towing capacity is 7,000 pounds 
  • Standard crawl and trailer-sway control

Safety
Standard safety features include:

  • Active head restraints
  • Side curtain airbags for all three rows
  • Seat-mounted side-impact airbags for the outboard second-row passengers
  • Front occupant knee airbags
  • Antilock brakes
  • Front and side-impact airbags
  • Traction control
  • Electronic stability system

  • Timeless reliability and power when you need it as these

    Timeless reliability and power when you need it as these trucks get older, you realize how well they are made. They only really need basic maintenance and every hundred thousand miles replace the plugs, the belts and all the juices and it will keep going as smooth as butter the only thing you wanna keep an eye on is the suspension however it is not a dealbreaker it can be dealt with with a proper technician. They will be going for another 50 years for sure.

  • Radio Amp problem- common issue- 100k miles

    Only thing with this generation is the radio amp. It is a common issue 2011-2015 model. To replace it is almost $3-4k. Make sure to ask the seller if the amp has been replaced, if it has not, eventually you'll need to. 100k mile problem. Other 100k problem: - Struts needs to be replaced - Differential fluid

  • Ultimate vehicle money can buy.

    Lexus LX570 is currently the best car for the buck. Under $100K it is the most comfortable, reliable, can-go-anywhere, 3 row vehicle (7 people vehicle). The only thing I would improve is add another gas tank as this boy like that gas. Highly recommend!

  • supreme luxury and capability

    I wanted a large comfortable vehicle that seats 7-8. I researched the LX and other competitor vehicles for some time. The LX drives very nice for as large as it is. the competition feels a bit lumbering and large. the LX is like a linebacker wearing ballet slippers. The infiniti QX80 is probably the closest competition but it's length prevents it from fitting in my garage. The build quality of the LX is better in my opinion than the Infiniti, they are very similar otherwise. My biggest complaint has to do with the fuel economy and range. The fuel economy is expectedly poor at about 14 to 17 MPG, couple that with a relatively small fuel capacity and you have only 250 or so mile range. This makes the gas station a very common stop. However I am used to my previous car which had more than double that range - perhaps I'll get used to it. The comfort is welcoming, I can drive for several hours and I'm not dying to get out of the LX. it's not a cheap vehicle, but depreciation is your best friend with the LX. try to find the nicest one you can and enjoy for a long time.

  • Best car we have ever owned! Luxurious and smooth

    Great SUV!! We love everything about this vehicle! Fun to drive, beautiful leather, all the bells and whistles. Powerful engine, great transmission, smooth shifting, everything is great! Bring to your local Toyota dealership instead of Lexus. Better service and better price.

  • Most expensive SUV I have owned

    This is by far best SUV for a large family. It outperforms in rain and snow. And you can take it off-road.... The only con is the mileage only 16 mpg high way.

  • King of the SUVs

    King of the SUVs Though there are several luxury SUVs out there that may be more costly or look better or claim to be better, there is nothing like an LX from Lexus. This is the third version that I've owned and it is by far the best. It is solid, with great acceleration, it is quiet with an extremely smooth ride and is extremely capable off the road. Reliability has always been excellent as I said, and I have had the privilege to own two previous LX 470s before this and had put well over 130,000 miles on each one of those without any significant problems. This vehicle, as well, has been wonderful that way. Additionally, this vehicle has the 19 speaker stereo option and it is the absolutely best stereo system I have ever heard in a vehicle. Overall, there are no SUVs in this category which combine all of these elements plus the rideability of a Lexus. Go ahead and buy a range rover but could luck with the reliability.

    My lx 570 is great !!!! Rides smooth like a LS460 with the ruggedness and off road capability of a 4X4 truck. Well appointed with more features than you will ever need.
