Lexus has enhanced its flagship LX 570 S SUV with a sportier look to be more attractive to urban buyers.
Available in dealerships now, the new-look LX 570 S wears a redesigned-Lexus spindle grille and front bumper skirts, and new wheels.
A new block-mesh insert for the spindle grille replaces the previous wire-mesh insert to create a formalised yet sportier appearance.
Approximately 70 gloss-black ‘blocks’ are employed, with those positioned to the left and right of the central Lexus badge angled towards the middle of the vehicle to create an impression of powerful forward movement.
The block-mesh insert reflects a similar pattern used in the flagship Sports Luxury grade of the Lexus RX – creating cohesive, distinguished Lexus SUV styling.
The front bumper skirts have also been revised, with horizontal lines removed from the outer section of the skirts for more seamless integration of key design attributes.
Two-tone wheels make their debut in the LX 570 S, with a silver fascia and gloss black inserts following the colour scheme used in the Lexus LC sports car.
The new 10-spoke 21-inch wheel design replaces the previous, monotone gloss black wheels to provide greater visual depth says the manufacturer.
The Lexus LX 570 S has a moulded ‘S’ badge on the tailgate, front and rear performance dampers that improve body rigidity and steering stability, alloy pedals and door courtesy lamps with ‘LX S’ projector illumination.
Inside, the semi-aniline perforated leather trim is available in Black or, exclusively for this variant, a rich burgundy colour named Garnet. Shimamoku Grey ornamentation is also unique to the LX 570 S.
Exterior colours include Sonic Quartz and Starlight Black.
The LX 570 S utilises a 5.7-litre V8 engine with 270kW of power and 530Nm of torque, and an eight-speed automatic transmission. It is capable of towing up to 3500kg (braked) and can carry 138 litres of petrol with 93-litre main/45-litre sub tanks.
Lexus Australia chief executive Scott Thompson says the new-look LX 570 S provides an option for luxury customers who prefer a sportier LX.
“It further broadens the appeal of this flagship SUV with sporty, yet subtle design touches and a focus on enhancing its urban appeal,” Thompson says.
