While hardly fast, the LX 570 has more than enough power. Its engine is smooth and quite responsive. Unfortunately though, it requires premium fuel and LOTS of it. I averaged about 16.2 MPG during my week with it, which, to be fair is a lot better than average. Officially it stickers at 12 MPG city, 17 highway and 14 combined.

Along with its brutish consumption this rig also feels rather cumbersome on the road. The steering, braking and body control are too ponderous for my liking and the LX feels a generation or two behind its rivals. But other than its propensity to float when the adjustable suspension is in comfort mode there aren’t any egregious faults.
If there is one standout aspect of the driving experience it’s definitely outward visibility. Thanks to its elevated height and relatively thin roof pillars, the views are grand and blind spots surprisingly small.
