2011 Lexus LX 570 all ready to land at your doors!
Lexus (Lexus is the luxury vehicle division of Japanese automaker Toyota Motor Corporation. Lexus is now sold globally and has become Japan’s largest-selling make of premium cars.) is back into business as it unveiled the new model for the year 2010. The new model is named as the Lexus LX570 and is a powerful beast of a car. The powertrain has been upgraded and so has been the chassis which is now a twofold improvement over the previous versions.
The motor car features significant upgrades to the suspension and the full-time four-wheel-drive system improve ride and performance. A Four-Wheel Electro-Hydraulic Suspension with Active Height Control (AHC) and Adaptive Variable Suspension is quicker and allows for a greater range of adjustment. For improved aerodynamics, the new AHC system lowers the vehicle by nearly one inch in front and by a little more than a half inch in the rear at highway speeds.
The LX 570 also includes a new Crawl Control feature for increased throttle control when maneuvering through rough or difficult surfaces. Crawl Control also actuates a set of virtual locking differentials to minimize tire slippage and maximize chassis behavior.
The overall wheelbase of the new LX 570 is unchanged from its predecessor. Features include four-zone independent climate control complete with numerous air vents (we are talking about the AC here), a power-sliding second-row seat with a 40/20/40 split, a power third-row seat, navigation with Bluetooth capability, a nine-speaker premium audio system, XM Satellite Radio with XM NayTraffic, a real time traffic information service that provides driver alerts regarding accidents, road closings and traffic, front seat power bottom cushion extenders, and much more. Now that is what we mean by high tech car.
Here, are the complete specs of the car listed below:
- Base engine size -5.7 liters
- Base engine type- V-8
- Horsepower -383 HP
- Horsepower rpm -5,600

Most skeptic people look at the safety front of the car while going to buy one for them the LX570 carries ten standard airbags including driver- and front-passenger knee airbags, second-row seat-mounted side airbags and third-row curtains. Among the many safety features on the new LX are Active Front Headrests, a first for a Lexus utility vehicle. The motor car will cost a hefty $77000 and will face a tough competition from rivals like 2011 Infiniti QX562011, Mercedes-Benz GL-Class, Porsche Cayenne Hybrid who fall in the same price range.
