2014 Lexus LX 570

The LX 570 carries over from 2013 without any changes of note.

The LX 570 is powered by a 5.7-liter V8 that produces 383 horsepower, and earns an EPA rating 12 mpg city and 17 mpg highway. All models come with a sturdy four-wheel drive system.

With an MSRP that exceeds that of Lexus's flagship LS 460 sedan, you can expect a long and lavish list of standard equipment. This includes: quad-zone climate control, navigation, a backup camera, a moonroof, a power tilt/telescoping steering wheel, leather upholstery, a 14-way driver's seat, Lexus's Enform infotainment system and a 9-speaker AM/FM/CD player with HD Radio, Bluetooth streaming audio, and USB inputs.

There's still room for options, though, and the LX 570 has a relatively inexpensive option package:

• Luxury: For $1,510, buyers can have perforated, semi-aniline leather upholstery, heated and ventilated front seats, a cool box in the center console, a heated steering wheel and a smart access card key. Add a pre-collision system and dynamic radar cruise control to the package for a total price of $3,010.

Standalone options include:

• Dual-screen DVD rear-seat entertainment system, 7.0 inch LCD screen behind the front headrests, A/V input jacks, wireless remote and headphones
• Wide-view front and side monitor system with intuitive parking assist
• Mark Levinson 19-speaker surround sound audio system
• Pre-collision system with dynamic radar cruise control
• Heated and ventilated front seats and heated middle-row seats
