Lexus LX 570: The Legendary Luxury 4WD.
TheThe eight-passenger LX 570 continues to be the
ultimate premium luxury utility vehicle for daily driving or
conquering off-road challenges with its smooth and quiet ride.
The LX 570's 5.7-liter V8 delivers the punch and towing power
demanded in this segment. The powerplant produces 383 horsepower at
5,600 rpm and peak torque of 54 Kg.M at 3,600 rpm. Crucial to LX570
customers who tow with their vehicles, 90 percent of peak torque is
available at just 2,200 rpm.
The V8's advanced Dual Variable Valve Timing with intelligence (VVT-i)
system controls valve timing and overlap on both the intake and
exhaust valves, which helps to optimize power, fuel efficiency and
emissions. The Acoustic Control Induction System (ACIS) switches the
length of the intake tract in two stages, based on rpm and throttle
angle, to improve torque across the engine speed range. Tubular
stainless steel headers flow into a full stainless steel exhaust
system.
The LX 570's six-speed automatic transmission is designed to handle
high torque while performing with Lexus quietness and smoothness.
The electronically-controlled transmission's control unit estimates
road conditions and predicts the driver's intention to select the
appropriate gear ratio for the vehicle's speed and the driving
conditions. A sequential shift mode allows the driver to select
gears manually. Even at very low speeds, such as trail driving, the
transmission operates smoothly and imperceptibly.
The LX 570's transfer case provides full-time four-wheel drive that
is equally adept at handling the rigors of slippery winter weather
or deep mud or snow. A 2.62:1 low-range ratio is available for
challenging driving surfaces. The system uses a TORSEN® limited-slip
locking center differential to distribute power 40:60 front-to-rear,
directing more power to the wheels with the best grip should
slippage occur. Four-wheel Active Traction Control (A-TRAC) employs
both brake and throttle intervention to help control wheel spin.
Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) helps maintain directional control
during cornering and can be disengaged via the “TRAC off” switch.
The Crawl Control feature provides improved throttle modulation when
maneuvering over rough, uneven or difficult surfaces. When the
transmission is shifted into low range, Crawl Control regulates
engine speed and output, along with braking force, to propel the
vehicle forward or in reverse at one of three low-speed settings.
Crawl Control also actuates a set of virtual locking differentials
to help reduce tire slippage and optimize chassis behavior.
Without canceling Crawl Control mode, the driver can reduce vehicle
speed by braking or adjust the crawling speed with a selector
switch. Hill-start Assist Control (HAC) helps provide additional
control for off-road driving by helping to keep the vehicle from
rolling back while starting on a steep incline or slippery surface.
The LX 570’s highly capable chassis is equipped with an advanced
suspension system. Body-on-frame construction provides ruggedness
and durability in extreme driving conditions, plus impressive ride
isolation characteristics and a 7,000-pound towing capability. An
electro-hydraulic system with four-wheel Active Height Control (AHC)
and Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS) reacts more quickly and
allows for a greater range of height adjustment.
The Active Height Control system lowers the chassis by about two
inches for easy entry and exit and returns automatically to its
normal height when the vehicle begins to accelerate. Vehicle height
automatically lowers within two seconds of switching off the
ignition when the vehicle is stopped. An Easy Access mode allows the
driver to also lower the vehicle while it is parked.
The Adaptive Variable Suspension system responds to the different
inputs and spring rates, and it adjusts the shock absorber damping
force to provide optimal handling and comfort for on-road or trail
driving. AVS provides three modes to control the spring rate and
shock absorber damping force. Comfort mode provides a softer
response on extremely bumpy roads, while the Normal and Sport modes
help provide increasingly greater levels of control for driving a
heavily loaded vehicle, driving at higher speeds on paved roads, or
driving on unpaved roads.
The LX 570 is equipped with 12 standard airbags, including driver-
and front-passenger knee airbags, front and second-row seat-mounted
side airbags in the outboard seating positions, and side curtain
airbags for all three rows. All eight seating positions feature
three-point seatbelts. The second-row seatbelts integrate pre-tensioners
for the outboard seats and an ELR (Emergency Locking Retractor)
seatbelt for the center seat.
The LX 570 is available with Pre-Collision System with Dynamic Radar
Cruise Control. In addition, LX 570 was the first Lexus to offer the
optional Wide-view Front and Side Camera feature designed for use in
tight settings, such as parking garages. With cameras located within
the front grille and under the passenger outside mirror, the driver
can check hard-to-view areas by simply pressing a button on the
dashboard and viewing the camera images on the standard navigation
system screen.
Lexus has announced an exciting array of special offers for its
customers this festive season. The Offer attractions include 2
years/ 30,000 Kms Free Service Package, Free registration and 6

year, and for the first time in Lexus, is the opportunity to win a
Brand New IS250 Sedan on Grand Raffle.
Lexus vehicles are brought to you in Oman by the Saud Bahwan Group.
In Oman, every Lexus vehicle comes with special benefits and
privileges such as 6 years unlimited extended mileage protection –
AMAN BAHWAN and Lexus Prestige Club Card that offers 24 hours
on-road assistance from AAA.
