2011 Lexus LX570 Review

The Lexus LX 570 is a full- size truck-based SUV that seats up to eight people in three rows. Standard luxury features include a navigation system and four-zone air conditioning. Competitors include other luxury SUVs like the Land Rover Range Rover and Mercedes-Benz GL550.

Walkaround

A brake override system is available, and there are minor interior and exterior changes. The front of the LX 570 is dominated by a large grille and angular headlights. The corners of the SUV are rounded, and the smooth body panels are free of cladding. Even with these styling cues, however, it maintains the general look of a traditional SUV.Leather-trimmed seats and interior surfaces are standard, and the front bucket seats have power-extending seat cushions. The second-row bench seat is split 40/20/40, and it comes standard with a power-sliding feature that lets it move forward or backward 4.1 inches. The standard power-operated third row is split 50/50, and its halves fold upward along the side walls. The third row is similar to the current crop of crossovers in that the cushions are rather close to the floor, which can be uncomfortable.

Summary

The SUV is available with the optional Pre-Collision System that detects impending collisions via radar and tightens seat belts before impact. Typically, these features activate along with the airbags once the "crash event" has begun.

2011 Lexus GS 350 Review
Although the GS 350 namedates to 2007, the third-generation GS sedan actually debuted for2006 as the GS 300 and GS 430. With the exception of their engines,the GS 350 and 300 are identical. Every Lexus GS 350 comes with asophisticated all-aluminum 3.5-liter V6 with direct injection andvariable valve timing on both its intake and exhaust valves. This V6is rated for 303 hp and 274 pound-feet of torque. A six-speedautomatic transmission is standard, and buyers have a choice of thestandard rear-wheel-drive setup or an optional all -wheel-drivesystem.

Walkaround
With the 3.5-liter V6,the Lexus GS is seriously quick, and most drivers will find itspower reserves more than adequate in any situation. Overeager throttleresponse off the line is our only complaint about this drivetrain.Lexus claims the rear-drive GS 350 will accelerate to 60 mph in just5.7 seconds -- identical to the company's estimate for theV8-equipped GS 430. Consumers have rated the GS 350 highly thus far,noting that it combines the high levels of luxury Lexus is known forwith the kind of brisk acceleration typically found in sportiermidsize luxury sedans. "Whether you feel like gliding along (in)city traffic oryou feel like screeching away, this is the car," wroteone consumer reviewer.

Summary
Notablestandard equipment on the Lexus GS 350 includes 17-inch wheels,xenon HID headlamps, a moonroof, leather upholstery, dual-zoneautomatic climate control, a 10-speaker CD audio system, Bluetoothand various memory settings for the driver and front passenger.Major options include a Mark Levinson surround-sound audio system,DVD navigation, a rearview camera, the Pre-Collision accidentpreparedness system, adaptive cruise control and various wheel/tireupgrades.

2011 Lexus RX450h Review
When it debuted four years ago, the Lexus RX400h answered what many thought was an obvious question: Why doesn'tsomeone make a midsize hybrid SUV? Better yet, how about aluxury-branded midsize hybrid SUV? That first RX hybrid offered thetypical Lexus attributes of luxury, a smooth and quiet ride andtop-notch build quality. It also provided strong performance along withfuel mileage ratings in the mid-20s. The 2011 Lexus RX 450h representsthe next generation of this successful offering. Among the changes madefor 2011 are more power along with slightly better fuel efficiency.

TheRX 450h produces a maximum output of 295 horsepower, 27 more ponies thanbefore, while the fuel numbers go up a couple of mpg. The hybridversion also shares the same changes made to all 2010 RX models,including an increase in width (though other dimensions remainessentially unchanged), a beefier structure to promote greatercrash worthiness, bigger wheels and brakes, more airbags (now at 10total), a keyless ignition system and a new computer mouse likemultifunction controller for the optional navigation system.Unfortunately, another change for the 450h is a weight gain of more than400 pounds. However, it seems to have little effect on the RX 450h'sdynamics, as performance is still strong and handling feels sharper thanbefore, thanks to revised steering and suspension systems. As before,the hybrid can function in gas-engine-only, electric-only or combinationmodes depending on conditions. During light acceleration or whencoasting, the 450h saves fuel by running solely on battery power. Whenfull power is called for, the 450h offers acceleration similar to thatof some V8-powered rivals while achieving the best fuel economy in themidsize luxury SUV class. Of course, none of this comes cheap. Atypically equipped 2010 Lexus RX 450h will cost about $4,000 more than asimilar RX 350. Given that, it would take many miles and years ofdriving to recoup the hybrid's additional cost via reduced fuelconsumption. And from a pure "save the planet" standpoint, buying a50-mpg Prius makes much more sense than buying a 28-mpg crossover. Butit's hard not to like the RX 450h -- quick, luxurious and relativelyfuel-efficient, it seemingly offers the best of all worlds, virtuallyguaranteeing its appeal to the luxury SUV buyer.

Summary
The 2011 LexusRX 450h drives a lot like its gas-powered RX 350 sibling, deliveringboth a smooth ride and reasonably tight handling despite its extraweight (which is only noticeable when changing direction at higherspeeds). That smooth ride comes thanks to soft suspension tuning, whichmakes the RX feel a little too spongy for those who appreciate a morespirited driving experience. However, the Sport package does firm thingsup a bit. The RX 450h is capable of approaching 30 mph in electric modealone, which is of great fuel-saving benefit in stop-and-go traffic.This year brings a new "EV" mode that allows solely electric propulsionfor lower speeds over short distances. Under maximum acceleration,though, an un-Lexus-like amount of engine noise is generated as the gasengine revs all the way up to redline.

2011 Lexus GX 460 Review
Slotting just below the Land Cruiser- based LX570 in the Lexus lineup, the mid-size 2011 Lexus GX 460 is all-new this year, itself based on the Toyota 4Runner. While the 4Runner offers four-cylinder and V-6 engines, the GX offers a V-8, power-folding third-row seats, plus a host of luxury and technology options and much-improved refinement while allowing impressive off-road and towing ability.

Throughout the GX, designers have blended the gentle, organic,and aerodynamic styling of the Lexus L- Finesse designs of recent years with a "machined steel bar" theme, giving it a more sculpted, solid look that separates it from the cars and crossovers. From the front, the likeness with Lexus cars is obvious, with a similar chromed grille flanked by rather large headlamps (which bow slightly to meet U.S.regs). In back, the GX has a clean, uncluttered look, mainly thanks tothe narrow vertical tail lamps and a new wiper design that's hidden under the roof spoiler. Alongside, the GX looks the most 'trucky,' with carved-out fenders and the very tall, imposing belt line. Lexus likes to think of the interior as "tough premium," with the GX combining the expected chunky trim and bulkier door handles with soft, luxurious materials. The instrument- panel design is quite upright and has a horizontal-bar theme running its length.

Walkaround
The 2011 GX has a nice, high seating position in front so much so that at least looking ahead and to the side you don't feel that the belt line is so tall. The front seats and driving position in the GX 460 remind us why so many drivers were won over by SUVs in the past decade. Seating in the GX 460is superb in front, with nicely padded seats affording plenty of support plus good headroom and legroom and a general feeling of spaciousness.The second row of seating in the GX 450 is split and slides fore and aftmore than a foot in all so that third -row occupants can get in and out more easily, and so that second- and third -row passengers can compromise for the best allocation of legroom. The back row is also split, with an all-new design that should be more convenient for occasional third-row users; the sections are electrically operated and can be brought up or down in a half- minute or so by holding down a button just inside the side-opening rear hatch. The upside of this new design, aside from the handy power deployment, is that it's actually do able for adults for short stints if you're willing to accept a seating position that places your knees up near your chest. But there's also abig downside to the new design: While the third row in the old GX could be removed, making the GX feel more like a vehicle that was retro fitted with the power third- row arrangement on a budget, from an existing vehicle, than an all-new one. There's very little cargo space behind the third row when it's up. Overall, we're pleased with the look and feel of the interior appointments. The GX has more unique interior pieces than ever before. The controls felt better designed and less cluttered than those in Lexus cars, and we loved the redesigned steering-wheel controls and nice, legible gauge layout and cleanly laid-out center-stack for audio, climate, and nav functions. The only odd thing is the sliding panel that partially covers audio controls.

 Summary
As you might expect, the Lexus GX 460 comes with nearly all the traditional luxury and comfort features standard. What you opt up especially on the Premium Grade model are the rich technology, entertainment, and information features, like 330-watt Mark Levinson surround sound, a rear seat entertainment system, Intuitive Park Assist, and theafore mentioned safety-tech package. Lexus' navigation system is now packaged with Enform, which offers a suite of services delivering weather, stock quotes, and sports scores, among other things, plus a Destination Assist service that allows a remote operator to input program your nav system.

2010 Lexus LX 570 Review
The Lexus LX 570 is powered by a 383-horsepower 5.7-liter V8 connected to a six-speed automatic transmission. Mechanically, the LX 570 is heavily related to the Land Cruiser, and both boast tremendous off-road capabilities. In addition to its truck-based design, the LX 570 features a permanent four-wheel-drive system along with respectable wheel travel and ground clearance. There's also a new electronically controlled off-road Crawl Control mode. When this feature is activated, the 570 uses its anti-lock brakes and electronic throttle to fearlessly descend or ascend steep,slippery slopes. All the driver has to do is steer. While dedicated off-road vehicles tend to behave like jittery behemoths on pavement,this Lexus is as civilized as it gets. Special to the LX 570 is an electronically controlled suspension with adaptive ride height and damping control that delivers the type of buttery-smooth ride expected of a Lexus.

Options
The Lexus LX 570 is also adorned in the finest interior trappings of its class. The leather upholstery is almost inconceivably supple, and the bird's-eye maple inlays are some of the richest you'll find at any price point. Other materials are similarly beyond reproach. The LX also offers seating for eight, although its rearmost row is suitable only for children and doesn't fold flat into the trunk floor. (Each piece of the split bench flips against the side walls.)

Summary
The Lexus LX 570 is a full-size truck-based SUV that has seats for up to eight people in three rows. Standard luxury features include a navigation system and four-zone air conditioning. Competitors include other luxury SUV's like the Land Rover Range Rover and Mercedes-BenzGL550.
