2009 Lexus LX 570 Overview
After an impressive debut last year, the 2009 Lexus LX 570 is a well-received encore that comes with additional levels of higher refinement almost without rival, even by the luxury standards of the automaker’s entire product line.
The LX 570 midsize luxury SUV provides a 383-horsepower 5.7-liter V-8 engine under the hood, coupled with a six-speed automatic transmission. Its wheel suspension is heavily related to the Toyota Land Cruiser, and it boasts superb off-road capabilities. This vehicle comes equipped with a four-wheel-drive system and respectable wheel travel and ground clearance. A bonus upgrade is the new Crawl Control mode, an electronically controlled off-road feature that when activated uses the antilock brakes to descend steep, slippery slopes with increased control.
With the ability to transport up to eight passengers in both style and comfort, the LX 570 offers generous cargo capacity for hauling and long road trips. More than holding its own against solid competitors like the Land Rover Range Rover and Mercedes-Benz GL-550, the LX 570 goes above and beyond the normal expectations of desirable amenities, with a premium package that includes a mini-refrigerator positioned within the front console. Gas mileage meets this driver’s expectations, with fuel economy of 12 MPG city and 18 MPG highway.
The LX 570 sports standard equipment that includes 20-inch alloy wheels, power liftgate, sunroof, leather seating, wood trim, power-adjustable heated front seats with driver memory presets, and a nine-speaker premium audio system with a six-CD changer. Base models also come with a voice-activated hard-drive-based navigation system with quick and real-time traffic information.
With a rich set of safety features, the LX 570 impresses car buyers like many of its siblings. Antilock brakes, front-seat side airbags and stability control complement front-seat knee airbags, second-row side airbags, full-length side curtain airbags, active front headrests and traction control. The optional Pre-Collision System contains a valuable rear-view camera, and uses radar to sense an impending crash and automatically retract front seatbelts and prepare driver braking assistance.
Versatility, space and power all come together in a near-flawless package that makes the 2009 Lexus LX 570 one of the premier midsize luxury SUV choices you must take into consideration.
