2015 Lexus LX570 - Car and Driver (blog)
The Lexus’s myriad buttons, switches, and toggles scattered about the dash and console, however, can be daunting at first and take some time getting used to. (A centralized system using a control knob of some sort would be helpful here. ) The LX’s hearty body-on-frame construction also limits the flexibility of the rearmost seats: although they power-fold to the side of the cargo area, they really don’t stow away. And although it was a bit too glitzy for us to take muddin’, the LX570 remains plenty capable in the rough: The full-time four-wheel-drive system includes a low-range ratio, a Torsen center differential, and an off-road speed-control setting,... The four-wheel independent suspension (control arms in front, a four-link setup in the rear) offers nearly nine inches of ground clearance as well as impressive articulation. Lexus’s Adaptive Variable Suspension and Active Height Control with three damper settings (Comfort, Standard, Sport) keep the body’s motions in check and the ride all-around pleasant. When prodded, our 6155-pound test truck reached 60 mph in 6. 5 seconds and covered the quarter-mile in 15. 1 seconds at 93 mph. Source: www.caranddriver.com
