What happens when you take a Toyota Land Cruiser and give it a bit more luxury items? The end result will surely be the Lexus RX 570, the best Toyota utility vehicle. What engineers at Lexus do is take a normal Land Cruiser make a few changes and the result is a new design consisting of a wide front grille with arrowhead design on the corners. Distinctive character lines in the hood convey a feeling of power while character lines are integrated into the bumper and lower intake to convey an aggressive stance. The large projector headlights are restyled to add a dose of sophistication to the beefy front end.

The cut-line above the front fenders adds to the performance image while the wheel arches add an element of ruggedness to its clean profile. The running boards are fitted closer to the body to provide a more integrated appearance.

In the back, the LX features a sculpted rear door for a more dynamic look and wide combination lights that emphasize its large size. The combination lights and license plate are decorated with tasteful chrome accents. A six-spoke 20-inch alloy wheel design creates a two-dimensional appearance that is sporty yet elegant.

Another addition to the modification department is a powerful.7-liter V8 engine that will produce 381 horsepower which is 110 more than the Land Cruiser. Married to it is a new six-speed sequential-shift automatic transmission. The ‘love’ consisting of sophisticated electronic management systems ensure the marriage gives rise to ‘twins’ known as optimal performance and fuel economy.

To send the power to the four tires a full-time four-wheel-drive system together with sophisticated suspension ensures that the wheels are planted well on the road depending on the exposed road surface. The suspension absorbs bumps giving occupants a smooth relaxed ride on any surface.

Another addition is a new blind corner monitor feature designed for use in urban settings such as exiting a parking garage. With cameras located within the grille and under the passenger side-view mirror, the driver can easily check hard-to-view areas by simply pressing a button on the dashboard and viewing the camera images on the navigation screen.

It will also be equipped with an array of luxury amenities including four-zone climate control complete with numerous air vents. There are power-sliding seats, navigation with Bluetooth® capability and a nine-speaker premium audio system. Owners can also choose a number of optional amenities including climate controlled front seats and heated rear seats.
