Lexus has announced the pricing and specs of the 2021 LX 570 S, which is the top-of-the-line spec of the flagship SUV, in Australia. Available from AU$ 168,767 (US$ 129,483), it comes in Sonic Quartz or Starlight Black paint finishes and features a redesigned spindle grille up front, new bumper and two-tone 21-inch wheels with glossy black inserts that mimic the color scheme of those used on the LC.

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 367 PS and 530 Nm of torque that’s mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission. It has a towing capability of up to 3,500 kg braked and can carry 138 liters of fuel in the two tanks.

Should the LX 570 S seem a bit too much, customers can choose between three other versions. The range kicks off with the LX 450d, which starts at AU$ 137,636 (US$ 105,599) and is powered by a 272 PS and 650 Nm 4.5-liter turbodiesel V8. The LX 570 can be ordered from AU$ 146,636 (US$ 12,504) and the LX 570 Enhancement Pack is available from AU$ 165,436 (US$ 126,928).
