Sporting a bold new face featuring Lexus’
signature spindle grille, the new LX 570 SUV
also receives new 20-inch alloy wheels along
with exterior and interior styling updates.
New LED daytime running lights complement
a new headlamp design and larger fog lamp
surrounds.
Revised front and rear bumpers, tail lamps
and a new discreet tow hitch cover add to the
upgraded aesthetic package.
Changes to LX 570 are more than just skin
deep, with the addition of comfort, convenience
and safety features.
These are headlined by a new off-road Turn
Assist* feature that tightens the turning circle by
adding more brake force to the inside rear wheel.
Further off-road assistance is provided by a
new selectable Multi-Terrain Select function,
which delivers the ideal combination of stability
and traction control assistance over different
surfaces.
The driver can select from five types of terrain
modes - rock, rock and dirt, mogul, loose
rock, and mud and sand - to optimise vehicle
performance for specific conditions.
Off-road and city driving is also made easier with
the new Multi-Terrain Monitor^, which uses four
external wide-angle cameras to monitor blind
spots or areas of the vehicle obscured from
view. The cameras’ vision is projected on the 8”
LCD centre console display.
A new multimedia display, housed between the
speedometer and tachometer, displays the front
wheel angles (steering), digital speed readout,
turn-by-turn navigation and information relating
to the Multi-Terrain Select function.

Lexus Australia has introduced its new-look LX 570 with new features, revised
model line-up and more competitive pricing than its predecessor.
The Crawl Control* feature has been upgraded,
with the number of preset speeds upgraded from
three to five steps, for greater off-road control.
LX 570’s drivability has also been improved, with
the adoption of (when the enhancement pack is
fitted), steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters,
which work in unison with LX 570’s six-speed
sequential automatic transmission.
Inside, the already highly specified eight-seat LX
570 includes a number of updates.
The centre cluster has been redesigned,
reducing the number of buttons for simpler
operation. The driver’s seat has new Easy
Access system, which makes entering and
exiting the vehicle easier by retracting the
driver’s seat and steering wheel when the
ignition is turned off.
Front seats also feature improved ventilation,
and a 220-volt power outlet has been added to
the cargo area.
The instrument panel has been updated and
a new, full colour, multi-information display is
added, as well as one touch turn indicators.
A new metallic finish for the centre instrument
cluster and front side air vents, along with a new
metallic accent above the glove box, freshen the
instrument panel’s appearance.
A new dual rear seat entertainment system also
increases appeal for back seat occupants.

black leather-accented interior trim.

single model, while an available enhancement

superseded Sports model.
The new model carries substantial standard
specification including, Multi-Terrain Select
and Display, Crawl Control, Adaptive Variable
Suspension, cool-box, dual-screen rear seat
entertainment, 20-inch alloy wheels, reversing
camera#, smart start and entry with Smart key,
