- 2008 Lexus LX 570 Review featuring a model with over 160k miles. The Lexus LX 570 got a major redesign for the 2008 model year. I go into more detail in my review, but I mainly wanted to know if this LX captures the LS magic. See my Lexus LX470 Review: • 2001 Lexus LX470 Revie...
I previously owned the 2008 Lexus LS 460 and I have always been curious about the LX 570 since 2008. I'm pleased to say that the LX I reviewed in this video still has the flagship qualities that I loved in my LS 460. More details in the review, and below is a link to the original 2008 Lexus LX 570 press release that was copied and pasted by a Club Lexus forum member:

See my 2001 Lexus LX470 review: czcams.com/video/pIoogIJALxw/video.html
You’re right on, the Biggie Smalls’ track “Hypnotize“ actually mentions Lexus in the lyrics. “On the Lexus, LX four and a half. Bullet-proof glass tints if I want some ass”. The first generation LX 450 started production in 1995 and was powered by a 4.5 liter inline 6. The LX in particular was obviously important to him (perhaps modified with bullet proof glass). Great artist, great track and a great vehicle! I own one and love playing that track out loud. 🤛😄
Beautiful SUV. Love the interior and engine sounds for sure.
Built beyond its years to withstand times
For sure my friend!
Dude that intro lol. Going big league now
Oh nah that was just a free template that comes with Premiere Pro 🤣
I remember when I bought my 2014 LX570, and coming from my 2001 Isuzu Trooper that Ive owned since HS, I was shocked on how well it absorbed bumps and potholes. I also loved the power increase that the 5.7 had. Mine cane with damn near every option except the glass breakage sensor, and that Radar cruise is a game changer. I remember when I first bought it 7 months ago, the amount of attention i got was pretty crazy, especially since im 22. Im willing to be there is not a lot of 22 years olds picking up LX570’s(because theyre all driving in 3 series BMW’s). Unlike everyone who buys these, I actually intend to take my off roading, which was the main reason why I bought it. Its nice knowing that the 2 cars I have owned(Isuzu Trooper and LX) have both been mentioned in Biggie Smalls songs😂
Haha that's awesome my friend, and nice thumbnail pic, Chrissy should have gotten an LX after the LS400 lol but yea you're right not too many young people drive a big SUV like this so congrats it's pretty epic and this gets more attention than some of the sports cars I reviewed. Enjoy!
Im 21 and Im lookin to buy one of these around 20 to 30 thousand dollars. I heard they can last up to 500k miles. Hows the reliability on yours been so far?
@@this-is-big-john its been good although i think i have a coolant valley leak. 20k-30k will get you an either very high milage 13-15 or a higher miles 08-11. I will say Unless you need the Space, or plane on off roading, the gas mileage is terrible on this thing and if thats a big deal go with an Es hybrid or something.
@@frankmagana1408 I dont mind the gas mileage and the ones in my area are between 120,000 miles to 160,000 miles. They seem to have great service records and look in great shape. What do you think?
@Jonathan P.
If you can get it GET IT! I have a 2013 lx570, have had it since 8/2020 and I'm telling you, you will absolutely LOVE this truck! Drives insanely smooth, GREAT high visibility,VERY spacious, Very,very reliable, You can drive confidently in almost ANY amount of snow OR rain(I live in Brooklyn NY)will last you 600k miles PLUS! Looks Beautiful, will outlast ANY range rover,escalade or ANY other truck you can think of. I absolutely LOVE mine,would not want ANY other vehicle and trust me you WILL NOT REGRET IT!!
Dude, you slide in some clandestine SHADE in every video. I'm here for the shade!
Hahaha learned a new term clandestine loving the vocab 😂 I'll try to up my shade game tho lol
You’re doing a great job. I love this channel. #ThankYou
Great video as always. You were probably the reason this vehicle sold so quickly. I checked the site and it's been sold.
Awesome review. It’s so funny cuz last night I happen too be driving beside one for around 40 minutes on my commute back home... made my Lexus IS look like toy car.. but it always nice too be beside a fellow Lexus driver on the road .. especially an LX lol
Haha that's cool yea its always a rare sight to see an LX on the road and they def have a great presence
Great review of a legend.
Thank you!
Great review!!
Thank you my friend!
Great video as always Kevin! Love your style and your subtle digs!!!! When we chose a big SUV we chose the Infiniti because the third row folded flat and we hated the fact that the Lexus seats folded into the side reducing space or needed to be taken out....Sometimes one feature there or missing changes you’re buying decision...
Looking forward to the next
Hey appreciate it my friend! And yea the seat folding is def strange for sure haha 😄
Love these reviews on some older cars especially Lexus, doesn't matter how old they are everything still looks pretty new still. Not sure other luxury brands have that ability. I bet nothing rattles or squeaks in that beast. Thanks again Kevin. Cary looks a stunning place. 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Yea my friend very impressive for sure the only other cars that I have seen with such a solid interior is the Range Rovers and certain Audi vehicles but obviously Lexus drivetrain quality can't be matched by those companies unfortunately. Def no rattles in this one my friend very impressed and it's got 167k miles! Crazy thanks again for the support!
@@MeynMotorGroup 👍
18mpg at 80mph. Off to the arctic circle and no worries if you you carry extra gas as cruising range is only 306 miles maximum. Great adventure vehicle.
Excellent review!
Thank you my friend!
These LXs have skyrocketed in demand & price.
Avg around $25k (2008/9) with mileages of upto 200k.
But gotta agree, these are amazing machines. Would love to own the 2015 MY one day!
Yea very expensive vehicles resale is crazy
They are currently tanking in price currently
This Lexus LX is the ultimate SUV for Punjabi people... if any Punjabi could have any SUV , this Lexus will be the one... go to any liquor store and you will see a Lexus LX parked outside, that's how you know the owner is inside...
we’ll probably not punjabi people alone
I live in Brampton (huge Punjabi population), haven't seen many driving LXs
Got it wrong
I still remember when you did the 2001 LX470 - it’s my dream truck it’s so handsome. The 200 series is a fantastic truck, but I still have a really soft spot for the 100 series LC/LX 470
Haha glad you liked that review my friend
@@MeynMotorGroup ofc I did. I love your analogies dude you’ve got amazing presentation skills
Having owned one of these and the previous generation lx470. I can tell you that this SUV is unmatched in reliability and the 5.7 v8 is a beast. It’s quite quick for its weight
For sure my friend!
@@MeynMotorGroup I have 197,000 miles on my 2011. I plan to keep it until 350k miles. Tyres, Brakes and regular oil changes only.
That's epic!
Awesome SUV, Lexus LX,GX Toyota Landcruiser are some of the Best SUVies ever created for reliability and luxury. If this was a Range Rover it would be sitting in a Junkyard with 160,000 miles on the odometer. This luxury beast still drives like it's new, I am sure everything works. Another great review, you can do another video years later with another 160k miles on this truck having 320k miles this truck, still will run like it's new with Rountine Maintenance.
Solid Review 👌 💪
Thank you!
Finally. Let's watch!!
Haha thank you my friend!
Great video man like always i really enjoyed it, i reaallly like the look of this car it looks substantial and just a baller looking suv i dont know how much these are but im sure they kept their value. I just wish they depreciated like other cars fr 💯😂. And i had no idea Biggie rode in Lexus' thats pretty cool to hear, 'if you didn't knoow now you knooow'
Haha thank you my friend and yea these for like 75k new now it is 21k so def holding value even with all those miles for sure
the fact this car has a missing headlight washer cap and has no fridge ,ruined it for me :D
This type of content was what brought me to this channel , i dig used Toyotas reviews
Haha yea for the busted up wood trim was a no go but I would def restore this beast it really deserves it
@@MeynMotorGroup Big facts bro
Great video, nice big truck!
Thanks!
@@MeynMotorGroup no worries, as a Lexus fan/owner I always enjoy your Lexus content!
Very nice enjoyed the video as usual bro 👍🏾👍🏾 had to watch before I got home lol
Haha thank you my friend
@@MeynMotorGroup Never a problem bro 🤝👍🏾👍🏾
Ah man bro can’t wait to watch this one talk back soon 😎👍🏾👍🏾
Appreciate you bro!
@@MeynMotorGroup 🤝👍🏾👍🏾
I have a 2008 LS460L and a 2013 LX570. I love them both. The LX is an absolute tank!! Plus it has a refrigerator in the armrest
Niceeee best of both worlds I see
That is beautiful! Flagship Sedan and Flagship SUV from a Flagship brand!
Nice review. I’m a fan of your content. I’ve been waiting for months for you to review an LX570. I’ve owned a 2013 for a year and a half. Purchased with 92,000 miles and currently 116,000. It was the only vehicle I felt confident with buying close to 100k miles and NO warranty. Couldn’t say that for the Mercedes GL550 I cross shopped. The hydraulic AHC suspension is complex, yet robust and reliable (unlike air suspension setups). Replace the AHC fluid every 60k miles and there shouldn’t be major issues. Any thing else that goes wrong, parts can be sourced heavily discounted online and installed by a good Indy for relatively cheap. I bought the LX for the very reason I WOULD NOT have to spend $3,000 on an aftermarket warranty. You’d most likely be wasting your money and would fare better self insuring.
You mentioned there was no real change in the suspension when switching from Sport to Comfort (perhaps something was up with the suspension and it was not performing as it should ?) My experience is quite the opposite. There is a substantial difference between the dampening and handling of each setting. Comfort is way more floaty and absorbs the bumps a ton better. Sport stiffens the suspension considerably and corners much flatter. The difference in the suspension settings are felt even more in the 570’s than the LX 470’s. Also, the Reference Mark Levinson system in the LX is one of the best I’ve heard in a vehicle WHEN fed a proper source AND playing high quality content.
This truck is a Beast and you feel like the king of the road driving it. It doesn’t break down, can take you anywhere and get you back, and looks classy pulling up to valet in a 5 star hotel. To quote another reviewer, it truly is "The Velvet Hammer."
Congrats my friend beautiful ride not sure if you saw all the way through I didn't notice much of a difference in dampening but def a noticeable change in handling enjoy the ride!
This is the big boy!
For sure!
Climbing the Eiffel Tower backwards got me sold! Lol
Lexus Land Cruiser all day.. Yes, it's BEEN doing what other 2021 suv's are currently just being praised for.. This king SUV gets global recognition, built to last, on/off-road.. Rugged-yet-refined, hence the buttery smoothness smothered on this beautiful behemoth.. Will no question be adding this lux truck to my Lex collection.. Good stuff, Mr. Kev..
R.I.P., B.I.G.. Today = his death anniversary..
For sure my friend epic ride and oh wow yea you're right it is the anniversary r.i.p BIG for sure
@@MeynMotorGroup Wow right bro and that’s kind of weird u dropped the video and reference to him RIP Biggie Smalls
Stars really aligned bro glad I could give homage in my own little small way to a great
Can't believe how much the interior looks like my 2020 Land Cruiser Heritage Edition LMAO
You mentioned a warranty for this, can you name some that you suggest? Maybe even do a small video on getting a warranty for vehicles that are meticulous like the LX570.
Thanks for the video, can you review a GS430 2005 please?
I did a GS 300 02 would like to do the V8 one day!
Dream suv!
Ikr!
Great video! Why is the car height crooked?
Love this car. Got my wife a 16’. You gotta test out a 2006-2009/2010-2012 Range Rover Supercharged. Just because compare and test a different brand. I have both the Lx and Rover and The LX is reliable and solid where the rover... there is just something about them. Should do a test video of one. You’ll see what I’m talking about when you do. I’d take the Lx for cost of ownership. I’d take the rover for just a special feel.
Hey my friend I did a review on the Supercharged rover already I believe it was a 2012!
Nice!! My bad. I’ll have to look for it right now. Thanks man. Commented on your 2013 LS460 video. Let me know what you think with my question. I’m stuck man..
Ahh just looked. Yes you did. That was a sport though. I mean the big boy. Huge difference (in my opinion). Sport is more for the driver. Big one is more for the utility, luxury (ride quality and more refined i think), and capability.
Just responded to the LS question in a nut shell I think in your position owning all those epic rides, I would have to go with 430!
And yes you're right I drove the sport, the big boy rover is a monster I've been wanting to check one out but every time I do it sells 😆
“Bumps and bruises, blunts and land cruisers”
-Biggie Smalls (“who shot ya”)
If you own one of these in my country. Fully tinted!? Everybody gets out of your way especially the Land Cruiser
First of all, congrats on the new intro! Secondly, how would you compare the quality of ride, turn ratio, interior material quality, engine/transmission to G Wagon's specs?
Haha thanks although intro was just a free Premiere Pro template 😆 Gwagon is sort of in a world of its own it's got its own unique feel but LX570 and just about most SUVs are going to be a far smoother drive even if they are a tad slower but Gwagon interior at least the 2015 I reviewed had a very solid interior no where near the amount of miles as this but very good for sure probably on par with the Lexus
@@MeynMotorGroup Good points, thanks for the reply!
I just stopped by my local dealer and spotted a LX 570 (2017), 57 K miles, $71K. Is it a good price?
Thinking about getting a 2009 Lexus LS 460 for 9k with 120k miles for my first car a good choice?
Get it with a warranty!
@@MeynMotorGroup yeah planning on doing that
Very nice car but maybe think about an ES350. Still a nice car but maintenance and repairs are a lot cheaper. I wanted a LS but went with the ES and have had zero regrets.
I was sold after you said “big pimp” 😂😂
For NYC its 6 MPG. Thats the facts. But there is not even single problem during 120k miles. Undisputed reliable
@@killeryin1631 a lot of NYC stop and go and idle. if im take him out of state (highway) 14-17 MPG that's the facts. I still love the car thou😁😁😁
Ah yes Kevin our favorite 🥰!
😆
How much is the LX 570? Can I buy it?
I went to college with this one Asian guy who drove one of these I'll never forget. I would always get to class about 20 minutes early and sit in my car in the parking lot and eat my breakfast that I'd grab on the way. Well one day, this white Lexus LX570 rolls up and backs up directly next to me. Immediately I think to myself "hmm, this professor is in the wrong parking lot" 😄😄 But ohh was I wrong... it was the Asian guy! He was only 19 at the time and come to find out it was his parents vehicle that was handed down to him... a $90k vehicle handed down to a 19 year old??? 😓😓 I was baffled 😂
my parents handed down their 2015 land cruiser down to me so I guess you could kind of say the same thing😂
Damn guys that's epic what a vehicle to have but I guess it really is like a heirloom it will out last generations if you keep up with it lol
@@MeynMotorGroup yeah i can also say that there were some seriously rich students at college. I saw one kid drive a GTR. I went to a major university.
@@Loachie90 Bro in my uni students drive Lamborghini Urus's, Bently Bentaygas, G Classes, and Ferarries, and its not like its rare like each day you see a minimum of 5 G classes 3 Bentaygas and a ton of Range Rovers. Look it up its called AUD in Dubai
@@omaralkhatib7455 I would expect nothing less in Dubai, of all places lol
best sound system in the game
Love my 11 lx570 bought with 48k miles now has 148k
Nice! That's amazing
7:12 😮
What’s a good warranty company for these?
Great review. I'm looking at an '08 right now.
I would love to know if it has a cigarette lighter and in dash ashtray and ashtray for the second and third row seats
11:04 so true “your not going to be climbing Everest, you’ll be curb hoping Whole Foods”
Best SUV ever. Had a 2009 and now have a 2017
Very nice my friend keep us posted on your 2017
Lexus of the era do not have the best cooled seats but they get the job done.
Yea Im glad they work at least
Which one did you prefer driving that or the GX? Which one was quieter and smoother?
LX feels nicer and smoother!
But fuel economy tho... It says 14 mpg combined which is roughly 17L/100KM... Idk you guys but I can't afford that XD... GX is at 17 mpg, or roughly 14L/100KM. Though not impressive either but much more bearable than LX... But I love the LX tho 😥
Great homage to Hip-Hop
Glad you liked that my friend!
The LX have always been based off Land Cruisers right? My boss has an LX 470 he has driven forever but he had to recently replace the air suspension which was very expensive.
Yea suspension components can def cost a lot
Both the LX470 and the LX570 got HYDRAULIC SUSPENSIONS. Must change the HYDRAULIC fluids according to manufacturer's maintenance schedule. The failure rate is very low. That's why these vehicles (Toyotas sister LC) are the vehicles of choice in the middle east where reliability is KING when you are middle of nowhere.
My prior 2000 LX470 (bought brand new back in 2000) had 285+K trouble free miles before I traded it in for another brand new LX570.
Most cars I see you in, its tan interior, do you.not like black interior?
I don’t know about anyone else but Lexus should go back to their old designs - they were some of the best looking cars and still are - the new grille on the 2021 LX Is absolutely disgusting.
Haha nah I like me a big grill 🤪
@@MeynMotorGroup 😂🤣
The interior is straight of mid-late LS460 with same buttons and similar styling which isn’t a bad thing in my book. It’s aged incredibly well. Did they do the melting dashboard replacement on this one?
I'm not sure!
The Best Car Ever Made.
Hows is the ride quality of LX570 compared to LS460 ?
Pretty identical actually feels like driving an LS 460 but you sit up higher that's the only main difference
Any review on the gl/gls Mercedes
Butter
I'd be crazy to trade my 2020 WRX for a 09 lx570
These things haven't changed at all to this day
Not really lol 😆 just the grill
this vehicle need only one thing that it will make it really look more hot and solid . Tires and wheel specs . upgrade to WIDER tires more important it will widen the overall look .and that go for all Toyota and Lexus products in general. nice review as always thank you
Thank you my friend!
Totally disagree with this, larger rims/tires would make it look so tasteless, classy choice with proper sidewalls.
@@oscarericsson8300 oh I didn't mean in diameter. Actually I don't care much for large wheels in diameter I'm more focused on Only width to flair out the overall wheels /tires a bit.
👊🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Owned a LX470 and a 570, and in my opinion the 470 was better quality built, less plastics in the interior, and also better seating position. The pillars aren't as fat, and the LX570 was just overweight. The 5.7L engine was also less smooth because it was timing chain. Sure it has more power, but the Lx470 was just a better driving experience offroad and onroad. The 470 also just plain looked better and didn't have as fat overhang or was as pudgey.
I would have to disagree for me the 570 was better in every way especially driving wise but 470 was def solid
@@MeynMotorGroup the recent prices in the last 12 months for a 2005-07 LX470 has gotten pretty ridiculous to the point where a sub 120k mile clean LX470 goes for a equivalent 2008-2010 LX570 with the same miles and condition
This is perfection. An Indian guy doing a review of a car in Cary. Can’t write this shit
Just curious, how do you like this vehicle compared to the gx470?
This is noticeably a higher quality vehicle and driving experience
I owned a 2006 GX470 with the KDSS suspension package for 5 years, and now I've owned a 2013 LX570 for 5 days. The LX's interior definitely feels more special and well-built, and it has more power and I'll echo that the driving experience is higher quality, with more solidity, more isolation with a very quiet cabin...it's the top dog and it feels like it. I enjoyed my GX a lot, but in the used market with vehicles a decade old, the price difference between, for example a 2013 GX Premium (that package is the only way to get all the off-road goodies and Mark Levinson, you need Luxury pack for 2014+) and a 2013 LX is about $6k based on examples I saw, and that was a no-brainer for me.
“Lexus, LX Four and a Half, Bullet proof Glass tints if I want some A$$”.....NOTORIOUS BIG!
Haha yes sir!
It's just too rare and too expensive? Premium fuel, is is recommended or required?
Recommended . This engine is same as tundra . Even the parts number in it .
1UR, 2UR, 3UR!!!!👍👍👍👍
👍
Ohh yeah
Yes sir!
@@MeynMotorGroup this is the car that prominent businessmen and politicians use in my home country. Its a symbol of wealth and power
Very capable vehicle, you could definitely take it to Dingo Piss Creek and back no problem! 😁

My only wish is if this has 7 gears
there was no LX460. 470 my friend. 470!
Was this car detailed before you reviewed it? Because if it was they did a poor job.
No just got it in
@@MeynMotorGroup ahh I was about to say, that wouldn’t stand at my dealership😅
This is actually a consignment car that's why it's got normal plates on it so customer just dropped it off but I had to review it before It got sold 😆
@@MeynMotorGroup Lol big facts
Just have problem with transmission
What is the mileage. Did you change the transmission fluid?
To me the GX is a downsized LX, it’s on the same platform. Same luxurious interior as the LS and engine was a little bigger.
GX is cool! Was based on a Prado or whatever it was called
Thought gx was on 4Runner .. biggie hada lx450 bullet prof glass tint if he wanted some ass
Furst
Haha appreciate the support my friend
50 Cent LOL
Lol 😆 Lexus really got its props from Rappers back in the 90s
@@MeynMotorGroup Yeah I remember Rappers back then repping 1st & 2nd Gen Lexus's. I think BIG had a 1st gen GS
Yea GS was really popular Jay Z had one as well Lexus was the new and hot thing at the time

Being a hip hop star or pimp isn’t setting high standards for yourself in life.
That's pretty sexist bro
The 570 is nice. It's just ugly as hell. Get a lx470
