Take Luxury to Places it’s Never Been – With Confidence: The 2014 Lexus LX 570

Flagship Luxury Utility Vehicle delivers full-size performance, luxury, comfort, style and versatility

 

(TORONTO - October 18, 2013) The 2014 Lexus LX 570 takes everything full-size: Full size performance from a 383 HP V8. Full-size capability from an array of advanced handling and control technologies. Full-size comfort from an expansive interior appointed with ultra-premium finishes. And more.

 

“The LX 570 was forged for those seeking that special combination of unparalleled off-road performance and luxurious daily driving,” said Cyril Dimitris, Director of Lexus Canada. “Equipped with advanced technology and with luxury accommodation for eight adults, the Lexus LX enables Canadians to venture where others fear to tread – all the while surrounded in unsurpassed interior comfort and refinement.”

 

For 2014, the LX 570 is available in a single, fully-equipped model, with a starting MSRP of $94,450.

 

Full-size performance demands big power, so every LX is built around a 5.7L V8 engine enhanced with several performance and efficiency technologies and mated to a six-speed automatic super ECT transmission with overdrive plus sequential shift mode with paddle shifters. This combination delivers a peak 383 horsepower, up to 403 lb-ft of torque, a 7,000 lb towing capacity plus a combined city/highway fuel efficiency of 14.5 L / 100 KM.

 

With the LX, go-anywhere performance is assured with a full-time four-wheel-drive powertrain, enhanced with off-road turn assist, multi-terrain traction control system, hill-start assist control, downhill assist control, four-wheel crawl control and trailer sway control technologies. All engine and drive-train components are secured behind protective plates to withstand the rigours of off-road adventure.

 

Comfort in all conditions requires a smart suspension system – and the LX is at the head of the class with a double-wishbone front suspension with torsion bar and four-link, live-axle rear suspension with the four-wheel adaptive variable suspension system. Both front and back suspensions are enhanced with stabilizer bars and the Lexus active height control system. Every LX rides on impressive 20” aluminum alloy wheels with locks and carries a full-size spare tire.

 

Braking power is equally impressive, with large ventilated disc brakes at all four corners enhanced with multi-terrain ABS. And as a Lexus, the LX features a full complement of active safety systems – including the Pre-Collision System, Vehicle Stability Control, Active Traction Control, Brake Assist and Electronic Brakeforce Distribution. Additional safety technologies and features include: Wide-view front and side monitor system; back-up camera; 10 airbags; anchor points for child seats and child protector rear door locks; LED brake lamps and Daytime Running Lamps; the Lexus adaptive front lighting system and automatic headlamp system; and an onboard first-aid kit.

 

Luxury knows no compromise in the LX 570. Every LX is equipped with flagship-worthy luxury and comfort features, including:
