The 2009 Lexus LX 570 comes with all the features most luxury-SUV shoppers will be looking for—and then some.

Thankfully Lexus has simplified its lineup. Edmunds reports "one base trim level" of the Lexus 2009 LX 570, "which comes standard with 20-inch wheels, adaptive xenon headlights, a power liftgate, wood and leather interior trim, power and heated front seats with driver memory settings, keyless ignition, four-zone automatic climate control, Bluetooth and a premium sound system with six-CD changer, satellite radio and auxiliary audio jack."

Edmund says "gadget junkies can choose from several options." These include "a rear-seat entertainment system, ventilated front seats and heated second-row seats, and adaptive cruise control." In addition, the 2009 Lexus LX 570 can have a park-assist system "equipped with front and sideview video monitors for better visibility." A 19-speaker Mark Levinson audio system is also optional and offers spectacular sound.

With four-zone climate control, power sliding second-row split seating, a voice-activated navigation system with Bluetooth, nine-speaker premium sound, XM Satellite Radio with real-time traffic advisories, and power third-row seating, luxury features abound. Cars.com confirms this 2009 Lexus's "many standard features include touch-screen navigation with real-time traffic information and a premium stereo with XM Satellite Radio."

According to ConsumerGuide, the navigation system is the only downside, as it’s "simple to program but annoys by absorbing some basic audio and climate functions, such as air conditioning on/off."

Conclusion

Including one of the world’s finest sound systems, the 2009 Lexus LX 570 has everything an SUV driver needs.

Other Choices:

The 2009 Lexus LX 570 costs $10,000 more than the nearly mechanically identical Toyota Land Cruiser but has the benefit of excellent Lexus dealership service. With its tremendously torquey engine, good highway stability, and tow rating of up to 8,500 pounds, the LX remains one of the top choices for towing. For those who can't stomach the LX 570's gas-guzzling ways, there's the diesel Mercedes-Benz GL320 CDI, which gets an impressive (for the class) 18 mpg city, 24 mpg highway. If LX 570 buyers are looking for a flashy appearance and street cred, the Range Rover and Escalade have it beat. Inside, however, the LX 570 runs with the best, bearing plenty of attractive, plush materials and standout features. The QX56, which is soon to be discontinued, is a little more trucklike and doesn't have the others' refinement.
