Balancing style and capability

When you think of luxury full-sized SUVs, even if you don't know the model, you're probably imagining something like the Lexus LX 570. With that sophisticated balance of style and ruggedness, the 2015 LX 570 is an eye-stopper and landscape dominator. A muscular 383-horsepower engine, intelligent transmission, variable suspension, and robust all-wheel-drive system work together to conquer almost any road conditions you might face. And a menu of driver aids, plus screens and climate controls throughout the eight-seat cabin can help keep all your passengers comfortable. New to the 2015 model are power adjustable capacities on the front seats, along with Siri® eyes-free voice command functionality.

5 reasons to buy the 2015 Lexus LX 570

1. All-wheel terrain 

One of the first things you'll likely notice upon settling in the captain chair on the 2015 LX 570 is the numerous knobs located on the center console, under the gearbox. These turn the already robust all-wheel drive and suspension hardware into an adaptable all-terrain system. If you're suddenly climbing a mountain, for instance, toggle on hill-start assist. Or if you're navigating a rocky landscape, enable crawl control to help maintain off-road handling with a low and steady speed. 

2. Smart powertrain  

Under the hood of the 2015 Lexus LX 570 is a 5.7L 383-horsepower V8 engine. Paired with a six-speed automatic transmission, the powertrain can produce 403 lb-ft of torque and can tow an estimated 7,000 lbs, when properly equipped.

That's huge power, no doubt, but it's the sequential-shift intelligent gearbox that keeps the LX 570 under seamless control, whatever mountain you might end up on. On average, the engine gets an EPA-estimate 14 mpg combined.

3. Luxury exterior 

From the outside, the 2015 Lexus LX 570 is already a head-turner. Available in five sleek colors with a standout spindle grille up front, the LX 570's style keeps practicality in focus. The dual-swivel adaptive front lighting system rotates the headlamps into curves for a more panoramic view, while intelligent high beams and rain-sensing and de-icing wipers can help you handle those stormy drives with confidence.  

4. Interior luxury  

The first thing you'll notice upon stepping inside the 2015 Lexus LX 570 is how easy the stepping is. That's because Lexus fitted the full-sized, 6,000 lb SUV with an adjustable ride height to help you (and perhaps the kids) enter and exit the vehicle with ease. Once you're settled in, you'll find a cozy cabin with 42 inches of legroom up front, 36 inches in the second row, and 28 inches in the third.  

5. Immersive aids and perks 

The Lexus LX 570 comes fitted with a flagship Enform touchscreen color infotainment system in the center console. New features to look out for on the 2015 model are automated parking and a heated steering wheel. Parking sensors, automated cruise control, and a rearview camera should also support any tight handling needs. And for the audiophiles out there, look out for the 19-speaker Mark Levinson® surround sound system, which combined with the available DVD rear-seat entertainment system, could transform the cabin into a full home theatre system.
