LEXUS puts its own spin on off-roading, taking the already-plush Toyota LandCruiser 200 Series and refining it to an Eliza Dolittle level with the LX570 – there are a few signs of the working-class origins.
But it’s not lost all of the down and dirty ability, able to shift it’s big frame over punishing terrain with considerable aplomb.
The revamped styling has removed some – but not all – of the grating garishness that afflicted its predecessor, using the signature spindle grill and triple LEDs to much better effect, delivering a balanced look to the exterior.
An upgrade to the transmission could help with fuel use but it is now offered with a diesel if fuel economy is a concern.
