The one thing that you will most likely realize about the Lexus LX 570 2014 model is that it is great when referring to power but not so great when thinking about your interior comfort. Fuel economy is bad but there will surely be many interested customers that will want to buy this SUV. We can say that we are looking at one SUV that is more suitable for the off road than city cruising. On the whole not many things were changed from the 2013 overhaul.
Review At A Clance:
Pros:
- Luxurious and simple instrument panel
- Strong towing capability
- Strong powertrain
Cons:
- Horrible fuel economy
- Pitching ride
- You cannot remove the third seating row
More About The Lexus LX 570 2014
The 2014 model comes with the same V8, 5.7 liter, 383 HP engine of the popular Toyota Land Cruiser. It includes a 6 speed automatic gearbox and four wheel driving system. When referring to the off-road category, the SUV is a very strong contender.
You will not appreciate the weight and size of the car when faced with winding roads but on the highway you will like it. The reason why we say this is that the SUV is tough to maneuver and it does feel oversized when faced with city streets. Also, gas milege is bad with no alternative drivetrain and a rating of 12-17 mpg.
Luxury Options
Lexus LX 570 offers a lot of comfort and convenience while being packed with suitable entertainment features even in the standard models. Luxury upgrades are available so that you can reach any prestige SUV level. You already get the navigation system, Bluetooth and 180 degree camera.
Optional features include rear-seat entertainment systems, 19 speaker systems, ventilated and heated seats, custom wheels and radar adaptive cruise control. You will also, most likely, like the Enform system as it allows you to control Facebook and Pandora mobile versions with your audio system.
Technical Features Of Interest
This SUV is usable when referring to the type of activity that was the center of the nineties SUV craze. You have a towing system that has a rating of 7000 pounds and even if there are no off-road packages available, we do have high ground clearance and suspensions that have adjustable height as an option. You will also love Crawl Control as it helps you maneuver on rough terrain when at lower speed.
The Packaging Problem
When you see the seating, you feel confident that there is room for 7 people in the car but that is not actually the case. Just around 4 adults will feel comfortable. There is absolutely no problem with the front seats but you will not love the second row bench. It offers enough legroom but you have flat seats. When referring to the third row, you should be aware of the fact that it will narrow cargo space and you cannot completely remove it.
Conclusions
Lexus LX 570 2014 is by no means a perfect SUV but it is more than enough for various fans. This is especially true in the event you are mainly interested in off-road adventures. It is a shame to see that third row of seats and we would have definitely expected to be able to take them out. Combine that with the gas mileage and you have a lot to think about.
