Five-Point Inspection: 2015 Lexus LX 570

5. But is it Worth YOUR Cash?

That all depends on how much money you’ve got stashed under the mattress. If you’re a member of the 1 percent and can afford a fleet of different vehicles the 2015 Lexus LX 570 could be a worthy addition to your garage, especially if you own a vacation home up in the mountains.

But if you’re not that wealthy and you’re going to be driving this SUV every day then it becomes a little harder to recommend. The LX feels ponderous, a bit outdated and it’s terrifyingly thirsty, plus it’s anything but a good value. Unless you need serious off-road capability there are better high-end SUVs on the market today.
