2010 Lexus LX 570

“While most owners of luxury SUVs will seldom put their vehicles to the ultimate test, LX owners can have the utmost confidence in their vehicle in poor weather or while fighting their way through the worst hazards of urban life.” This same philosophy from the 1996 launch of the LX still holds true today. Underneath the LX 570′s organically robust styling resides a rough-and-ready, body-on-frame truck platform designed for serious off-road duty.

Body Styles, Trim Levels and Options

The Lexus LX 570 is powered by a 383-horsepower 5.7-liter V8 connected to a six-speed automatic transmission. Mechanically, the LX 570 is heavily related to the Land Cruiser, and both boast tremendous off-road capabilities. In addition to its truck-based design, the LX 570 features a permanent four-wheel-drive system along with respectable wheel travel and ground clearance. There’s also a new electronically controlled off-road Crawl Control mode. When this feature is activated, the 570 uses its antilock brakes and electronic throttle to fearlessly descend or ascend steep, slippery slopes. All the driver has to do is steer.

While dedicated off-road vehicles tend to behave like jittery behemoths on pavement, this Lexus is as civilized as it gets.Special  to the LX 570 is an electronically controlled suspension with adaptive ride height and damping control that delivers the type of buttery-smooth ride expected of a Lexus. Come to Lexus of Reno, Carson’s City’s #1 Lexus dealer to road test your new Lexus LX 570 today!

Powertrain and Performance

The LX 570 features a remarkable 5.7-liter V8 engine, empowering you with 383 horsepower. The engine produces 403 pound-feet of torque at 3,600 rpm thanks in part to dual Variable  Valve Timing with intelligence (dual VVT-i) which monitors the engine’s speed and load, increasing torque at lower speeds for improved towing power and boosts performance at higher speeds by adjusting intake and exhaust valve timing.

This engine features 32 valves and chain-driven Dual Overhead Camshafts (DOHC) leading to long-term durability and efficiency. An aluminum block keeps the engine lighter, helping to improve efficiency even further.

The power of a 5.7-liter V8 engine, working with the six-speed sequential-shift transmission, allows you to tow just about anything from boats to horse trailers. The engine gives you 90% of the 403 pound-feet of torque available at low rpm, which makes towing 8,500 pounds feel almost effortless, which Reno Lexus LX owners will certainly appreciate.

Sparks Lexus drivers can rise to the challenge of virtually every road surface with the newly refined Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS) system with Active Height Control (X-AHC). This innovative suspension system helps to continuously maintain optimal vehicle posture, despite road conditions. Because each wheel automatically reacts to unique road surfaces, AVS adjusts quickly to changes in driving conditions, maintaining your selected level of comfort.

Active Height Control automatically adjusts the vehicle’s ride height to help provide optimal vehicle performance, regardless of speed or terrain. To help improve aerodynamics at higher speeds, the LX 570 lowers 2.4 inches in front and 1.6 inches in back. Off-road, the system engages once the 4WD shifts into low range, raising the vehicle 2.0 inches in front and 2.4 inches in the rear for better ground clearance. This helps control roll and pitch for added security. When Crawl Control  is enabled, the LX can be raised an additional three inches to prevent bottoming out in extremely rocky conditions. When you have reached the end of your drive, the vehicle can automatically adjust to its lowest position for an easier entry and exit.

Safety

Lexus of Reno is committed to passenger safety. The 2010 Lexus LX 570 is equipped with many standard features to keep Carson City Lexus drivers in control.

To help keep passengers safe, the LX offers the most airbags  in its class. The advanced airbag system (SRS)  and knee airbags help protect the driver and front passenger. The front passenger’s seat is equipped with an occupant sensor that prevents airbag deployment if the seat is unoccupied. Seat-mounted side airbags (SRS)  help protect the driver, front passenger and second-row outboard passengers in certain types of side impacts. Roll-Sensing Side Curtain Airbags (RSCA) (SRS)  for the driver, front passenger and outboard occupants in the second and third rows can all be disconnected with a manual cutoff for off-road driving.

A specially designed Multi-terrain Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) works in conjunction with four-wheel ventilated disc brakes to help reduce stopping distance and aid the driver in maintaining directional control, even during hard braking. Multi-terrain ABS can help detect the type of surface the vehicle is on and adjusts the ABS to help improve stopping distances.

Brake Assist  helps provide increased brake pressure when the system detects an emergency stop. By monitoring how quickly and forcefully the brake pedal is pressed, Brake Assist helps compensate by automatically applying increased braking boost until the pedal is released. Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD) modulates the amount of brake force delivered to each wheel based on the driving condition.

Interior Design and Special Features

Also expected of a Lexus is a wealth of luxury goodies, and as the brand’s flagship SUV, the LX 570 is crammed like no other. Standard features include 20-inch wheels, adaptive xenon headlights, a power liftgate, leather upholstery, keyless ignition/entry, four-zone automatic climate control, a voice-activated hard drive navigation system, a back-up camera and Bluetooth. Optional highlights include keyless ignition/entry, a stupendous 19-speaker Mark Levinson surround-sound system, a chilled console bin, a rear-seat entertainment system, cooled front seats, heated rear seats and adaptive cruise control.

The Lexus LX 570 is also adorned in the finest interior trappings of its class. The leather upholstery is almost inconceivably supple, and the bird’s-eye maple inlays are some of the richest you’ll find at any price point. Other materials are similarly beyond reproach. The LX also offers seating for eight, although its rearmost row is suitable only for children and doesn’t fold flat into the trunk floor. (Each piece of the split bench flips against the side walls.)
