According to Toyota's official data, nearly seventy percent of the global sales of the Land Cruiser and LX570 are in the Middle East. Because there are large areas of desert in the Middle East, even if there are roads, there are still many opportunities for Middle Easterners to drive into the desert. Toyota's off-road vehicles have reached a well-known reputation for their driving performance and reliable durability in the desert after decades of accumulation.
 
The Lexus LX is designed based on the Land Cruiser, and at the same time inherits the hard-core off-road style of the Land Cruiser and the riding experience of Lexus humanistic atmosphere.
 
The LX in the Chinese market, like its American counterpart, uses the same 5.7-liter V8 engine as the Toyota Tantu. The American "Consumer Reports" uses the word "powerful" to describe this powertrain, so the Lexus LX is not weak in athleticism. Edmonds Auto Network believes that the current LX 570 is the most confident luxury SUV to challenge all bad weather. Like the Toyota Hardcore, the LX also has an off-road mode that intervenes well with the throttle and brakes. Good adaptive height adjustment suspension allows the LX to run comfortably on all kinds of terrain. On calm city roads, the LX's handling is not lively but does not lose a sense of security, and like the Land Cruiser, the fuel consumption performance of the Lexus LX is not very economical, the reason is actually very simple, sacrificing fuel economy in exchange for a stronger ability to get out of trouble and push back feeling.
 
Lexus doesn't have a consistent styling philosophy, and every model is completely new. As for LX, a series of hormone-filled configurations make LX a tough guy in the warm male family of Lexus. The steering wheel is thick and powerful, which easily activates the driver's adrenal glands, and under the armrest box is the car refrigerator, which can hold six cans of Coke, which can provide very affordable benefits when racing in the summer. Lexus didn't pile too many high-end features into the rear seats to show luxury, and it was designed to make all passengers happy. Consumer Reports described the ride as soft, comfortable and quiet, and even if the driver is fully engaged in trekking, it will not make the passengers in the rear seat feel overly noisy.
 
Lexus consistently outperforms all competitors in the industry in terms of reliability. The parts of the LX have been abused on the Toyota Tantu and Land Cruiser, so it is logical that the Lexus LX can also be recognized as a completely reliable luxury off-road vehicle.
 
Due to the small number of LXs, neither the IIHS nor the E-NCAP have crash tested the LX. But there is no doubt about the ability of this behemoth to protect its passengers. In 2017, Lexus also added automatic emergency braking and lane departure control to the LX, further enhancing its active safety capabilities.
