Since it is based on the Toyota Land Cruiser platform, the full-size LX 570 has the pedigree for serious off-road travel. The addition of extra luxury features makes the 8-passenger LX 570 more palatable for upscale customers. A 5.7L V-8 mated to a 6-speed automatic is the only powertrain. Full-time 4WD is standard. As the largest Lexus SUV, the LX competes with full-size luxury SUVs like the Cadillac Escalade, Lincoln Navigator, and Infiniti QX. By comparison, the LX570 is smaller, yet more expensive.
