2013 Lexus LX 570

2013 Lexus LX 570

Lexus has launched a face lifted LX 570 at the 2012 Detroit motor show. Exterior upgrades include LED daytime running lights and larger fog lamp bezels. Tail lamps are also updated. The cabin also gets mahogany wood trim with parchment replacing cashmere as an interior leather trim color.

The 2013 Lexus LX 570 gets a new look at both the front and rear. The driver's seat gets a new Easy Access system, which makes entering and exiting the vehicle easier. Four-wheel Active Traction Control (A-TRAC) employs both brake and throttle intervention to help control wheel spin.

Chassis/Body/Suspension/Tires/Brakes
The Lexus LX 570's highly capable chassis is equipped with an advanced suspension system. For improved aerodynamics, the AHC system lowers the vehicle at highway speeds. Comfort mode provides a softer response on extremely bumpy roads, while the Normal and Sport modes help provide increasingly greater levels of control for driving a heavily loaded vehicle, driving at higher speeds on paved roads, or driving on unpaved roads.

The multi-terrain ABS system determines road-surface conditions and automatically optimizes lock-up control, selecting the suitable ABS profile for on- and off-road driving surfaces. Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) employs the ABS to properly balance braking forces between the front and rear wheels, while Brake Assist (BA) provides auxiliary force to assist the driver during emergency braking.

Standard/Safety/Security Features
The Lexus LX 570 is equipped with 10 standard airbags, including driver- and front-passenger knee airbags, front and second-row seat-mounted side airbags in the outboard seating positions, and roll-sensing side curtain airbags that cover all three rows. All eight seating positions feature three-point seatbelts. The Lexus LX 570 was also the first in its class to offer available Pre-Collision System with Dynamic Radar Cruise Control. The Wide-view Front and Side Camera functions up to a vehicle speed of about 7.5 mph and can display the front and side views simultaneously in split-screen mode.

A full array of standard luxury amenities includes four-zone independent climate control, front-seat power-seat cushion extenders, a rear back-up camera, Lexus Navigation System and nine-speaker Lexus Premium Sound system with iPod/USB connectivity, HD radio with iTunes tagging, and streaming music via Bluetooth®.

The standard power-sliding second-row seat slides forward and aft 3.5 inches for passenger comfort and cargo storage versatility. A power retractable third-row seat is standard. In addition to the Luxury Package, the new Lexus LX 570 now features a rear dual screen rear-seat entertainment system with wireless headphones and three-prong electrical outlet.
