Product Overview

Lexus LX Mk3 (chassis code J200) is a full-size luxury SUV in production from 2007 to 2021. It was available with a couple of V8 engines that displaced 4.5 and 5.7 liters.
More readily available is the 3UR-FE-powered LX570, which started with a 6-speed automatic transmission and adopted the new 8-speed unit at the time when it grew Lexus' large spindle grille. Both transmissions are sourced from Aisin and proven exceptionally robust. Lexus also produced the LX450d with a 1VD-FTV diesel engine.
Those who drive offroad, for work or leisure, will appreciate the extraordinary approach, departure, breakover, and climb angles that the chassis offers. Utility-minded owners will love the 2560L (90cu-ft) cargo space. The Lexus LX III also comes with a high towing capacity.

Reviewer score 38%
Reviewers from cnet have found the following***:
The EPA gives the 2021 LX 570 ratings of 12 miles per gallon city, 16 mpg highway and 14 mpg combined. While the cabin is full of luxurious style, Lexus needs a full-blown overhaul of its infotainment system. The air suspension can give the Lexus over 11 inches of ground clearance.
