PETALING JAYA: The new 2020 Lexus LX 570 is now open for booking ahead of its launch in Malaysia.
It is offered in two variants with the LX 570 priced at RM1.23mil and the LX 570 Sport at around RM56,000 more. Bookings can be made at any of the six authorised Lexus Centres nationwide.
Still in its third generation, the refreshed and fully imported LX 570 is a luxurious 8-seater and comes with a host of feature enhancements and safety kit.
The Lexus LX 570 already enjoys a strong appeal as a handsome vehicle. The muscular stance with its strong spindle grille design is matched to 21-inch machine-finished rims and sleek LED headlights.
The new model now gets a stylish sequential turn signal that clearly relays the driver’s intentions and adds that touch of elegance to the vehicle.
Bringing more zest to the line-up, a new addition of Terrane Khaki Mica Metallic has been added as one of the new exterior colour choices. New interior colours have also been introduced and these include Garnet, Sun Flare Brown and Ocher to match individual tastes.
For further distinction, there’s the Lexus LX 570 Sport that is enhanced with a number of exclusive features. The bumpers have a sportier look and the spindle grille gets a different L-shaped block mesh design. Its 21-inch forged rims are also exclusively styled with a more open pattern for a sportier look.

Inside, the Lexus LX 570 Sport also gets an exclusive illuminated scuff plate, aluminium sports pedals with rubber inserts and door courtesy lamps with logo projection. Befitting its Sport moniker, the new LX 570 Sport will come with a Front Performance Damper. This feature enhances the body rigidity thereby offering better handling and stability without sacrifice to the overall comfort of the vehicle.
Raising the level of sure-footedness further in the Lexus LX 570, there are six drive modes including a custom setting for further refinement. The Adaptive Variable Suspension that adjusts the ride according to terrain also features four electronically-controlled off-road modes such as Active Height Control (AHC), Multi-Terrain Select (MTS) that allows you to specify the level of grip required, Crawl Control where the vehicle takes care of braking and acceleration on slippery slopes and Hill Start Assist (HSA) that helps avoid roll back on steep inclines.
There’s even a Multi-Terrain Monitor where occupants can view the surrounding conditions from the comfort and security of their air-cooled seats.
The new LX 570 is equipped with a 19-speaker Mark Levinson sound system for a concert hall-like experience.
The cooled centre console allows for drinks to stay chill. Keeping passengers occupied are entertainment from the seat back-mounted 11.6-inch screens. Third-row seats are even powered and ventilated for enhanced comfort.
Affording a higher level of safety to the new LX 570 are 10 airbags and a host of Lexus Safety System Plus (LSS+) features are now included as standard. Among them are the Pre Collision System (PCS) that determines if a frontal collision is imminent and will initiate evasive braking action.
There is also the new Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC) and Lane Departure Alert (LDA). All these features create a more comfortable drive especially on long journeys where you can enjoy the road with the peace of mind.
