The 2021 LX 570 S also sports a moulded ‘S’ badge on the tailgate, performance dampers said to improve the rigidity and cornering of the large SUV, and puddle lamps that display the ‘LX S’ logo. The semi-aniline perforated leather trim in Black or Garnet, a rich burgundy color exclusive for this model, alloy pedals and Shimamoku Grey trim are also included, and so is the Lexus Encore Platinum membership.

The LX 570 S is powered by a 5.7-liter V8 producing 270 kW (367 PS / 362 HP) and 530 Nm (391 lb-ft) of torque that’s mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission. It has a towing capability of up to 3,500 kg (7,716 lbs) braked and can carry 138 liters (36.45 gallons) of fuel in the two tanks.

The range kicks off with the LX 450d, which starts at AU$137,636 (US$105,599) and is powered by a 200 kW (272 PS / 268 HP) and 650 Nm (479 lb-ft) 4.5-liter turbodiesel V8.
