Lexus LX 570 has been named as the best Luxury SUV in Qatar by Arab Motors and Maqina auto magazines, Abdulla Abdulghani and Brothers Co (AAB) said in a statement.
The award was presented to R K Murugan, AAB’s acting CEO, during an event held in Lexus Showroom. Speaking on the occasion, he stated that “the Lexus LX, with its outstanding performance and versatility has already carved a niche in the luxury segment”.
The Lexus LX is for those seeking that special combination of unparalleled off-road performance and luxurious daily driving. With a powerful V8 engine, sophisticated 4WD chassis and seating for eight, the LX 570 remains one of the few luxury utility vehicles that combines sumptuous luxury with brute performance, providing a silken-smooth ride along with the capability to venture where few others can – all while surrounded in unsurpassed interior comfort and refinement.
The restyled front end wears an even bolder rendition of the Lexus signature spindle grille, framed by elegant satin chrome trim and complemented by a distinctive standard LED headlight, turn signals and fog lights.
The exterior of the Lexus LX combines the power of an SUV with the inherent luxury befitting a Lexus flagship. The front profile provides a sense of stability with its daringly muscular lower portion, while the side profile highlights a refined yet bold and dynamic underbody and the rear cuts a sturdy yet graceful outline.
The spindle grille projects a sense of strength and elegance, and symbolises the ever-evolving nature of Lexus. The lower portion of the grille takes on a protective shape while the inner grille bar juts out energetically from the hood and merges with the grille frame to form a single hard surface. Sequential LED turn signal lamps are utilised in a Lexus vehicle for the first time. These innovative lamps light up in a flowing sequence, increasing visibility when turning right or left.
The Lexus LX 570’s formidable 5.7-liter V8 engine produces 362hp and 54.0 kg-m of torque at 3,200rpm. It also delivers 90% of its peak torque at just 2,000rpm to confidently tackle the challenges of demanding terrain with a smoothness that takes driving freeways and city streets in easy stride.
Combined with a super intelligent, electronically controlled eight-speed automatic transmission, the Lexus LX demonstrates easy acceleration on-road and ample power at low and medium speeds off-road.
