When it comes to misses, two big ones stem from Lexus' insistence on using a weird, knoblike mouse controller for its infotainment systems and continuing to resist smartphone connectivity options (Android Auto and Apple CarPlay). Fuel economy is, predictably, not a strong point: 13 miles per gallon in the city, 18 mpg on the highway and 15 mpg combined. The V-8 gets the LX 570's 5,800 pounds moving easily and - most importantly - pulls hard between 40 and 70 mph, so passing is a breeze. The ride is butter-smooth over pavement, and though there's some extra body roll in the corners, the Lexus LX 570 doesn't feel sloppy its suspension gets it back upright slowly rather than explosively. On the street, the LX 570 drives like a more refined version of a large truck.

Next to that is a control for Lexus' impressive crawl-control system, which can be set to maintain a slow pace over rough terrain without the driver having to manipulate the pedals. It's mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission and full-time four-wheel drive that offers an additional low gear via a switch in the center console.
The Lexus LX 570 comes with an old-fashioned 5.7-liter V-8 that makes 383 horsepower.
There's more good news: The two-row version comes with a $5,000 price decrease and starts at $86,575, but it's mono-spec, meaning there are no trim packages available for it.
