Lexus LX 2015–2021 car dimensions: 5065 mm long, 1981 mm wide and 1864 mm high. Unladen weight is 2,722 kg. Braked towing is 3,175 kg.
Four-zone climate control is standard, keeping all rows comfortable on long trips. A large multimedia display handles navigation and audio, with backup camera always ready. Cruise control is fitted, upgrading to all-speed radar versions later. Parking sensors and blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert arrive as standard from the mid-cycle update, along with pre-collision automatic braking and lane departure alert. The cabin feels spacious and quiet for eight, with power seats and easy third-row access making daily family use straightforward.
With all seats in place the load area is compact behind the third row. Folding the power third-row seats opens useful space, and dropping the second row creates a long flat floor for larger loads. The split clamshell tailgate helps with loading.
The LX 570 tows up to 3175 kg braked with trailer sway control and an integrated hitch receiver. Payload sits around 580 kg. Adaptive Variable Suspension with Active Height Control is standard, raising for off-road clearance or dropping for easier loading.
Full-time four-wheel drive, Crawl Control and Multi-Terrain Select suit light work or trail use. Body-on-frame build handles towing and rough roads without drama.
The cabin uses high-quality leather and wood trim with four-zone climate control. Front seats are 14-way power for the driver and 12-way for the passenger, both heated as standard. Luxury grades add ventilation to front and second-row outboard seats plus a heated steering wheel. A power moonroof is standard. Laminated glass on the windshield and front doors cuts noise. Adaptive Variable Suspension keeps the ride smooth on road or trail. Power-sliding second-row and power-folding third-row seats handle eight passengers or cargo easily.
EPA fuel economy around 12-13 city / 16-18 highway / 14-15 combined mpg depending on model year and transmission.
Scheduled maintenance every 5,000 miles or 6 months.
No NHTSA or IIHS crash-test ratings published for this model.
Standard safety includes 10 airbags, Vehicle Stability Control, multi-terrain ABS, and from 2016 Lexus Safety System+ with pre-collision, lane departure alert, radar cruise and automatic high beams.
Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, Panoramic View Monitor and Intuitive Parking Assist standard on later years.
The 5.7-liter V8 needs premium fuel and returns EPA estimates in the low teens combined. Real-world mixed driving often matches the combined figure. A large fuel tank supports long range despite the thirst.
Service follows a 5,000-mile or six-month interval. Oil and filter changes form the core of routine visits. Major items such as fluids, plugs and belts come at higher mileages. Lexus offers complimentary early services on new vehicles.
Safety equipment starts with a full set of airbags covering all rows plus electronic aids for stability and braking. From the 2016 refresh, Lexus Safety System+ becomes standard and adds active features that warn and brake for collisions. Cameras and sensors help with parking and off-road views. The vehicle has not received official star ratings from major U.S. test agencies.
Body-on-frame construction and proven components support long-term durability when serviced on schedule. Keep up with the maintenance log and the LX stays reliable for high-mileage use on road or trail.
