Lexus has launched the 2018 LX 570 SUV in India, priced at Rs. 2,32,94,000 (ex-showroom).

The Lexus LX 570 features body-on frame type construction similar to its sister car, the Toyota Land Cruiser. It measures 5,080 mm in length, 1,980 mm in width and 1,865 mm in height, while its wheelbase is 2,850 mm. It comes equipped with a 138-litre fuel tank.

While the LX 570 has similar proportions as the Land Cruiser, it does get a tweaked front end featuring a large grille with horizontal slats. It has triple-pod LED headlights with V-shaped LED DRLs, while the bumper houses L-shaped fog lamps. The SUV has squared-off wheel arches and chrome trim around the windows. The rear features L-shaped LED tail lights with the reverse lights placed on either side of the number plate. The rear bumper has an integrated step and rear fog lamps. 

The Lexus LX 570 has similar dual-tone interiors as the LX 450d diesel variant. It comes with a 3-spoke multi-functional steering wheel with a twin-pod instrument cluster. The centre console consists of a 12.3-inch infotainment screen and a 19-speaker Mark Levinson audio system with 11.6-inch LCD displays for rear seat passengers. Other features include a moon-roof, cruise control, 4-zone automatic climate control with Lexus Climate Concierge, power adjustable seats and rain-sensing wipers among others.

The LX 570 is powered by a 5.7-litre, V8 petrol engine that produces 362 BHP @ 5,600 rpm and 530 Nm of torque @ 3,200 rpm. The engine is mated to an 8-speed automatic gearbox with paddle shift and an all-wheel drive system. It has Multi-terrain Select with different modes for specific road conditions in addition to a 5-speed Crawl Control, which adjusts torque and brakes on each wheel independently for optimal traction. The SUV rides on 18-inch aluminium wheels shod with 285/60 section tyres.

The standard safety equipment includes airbags, ABS with brake assist, Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), traction control, front and rear parking sensors and a Multi-Terrain Back Monitor System with 4 cameras.
