Best Lexus SUVs / 4WDs

Greater than the sum of its parts. My wife's car so I don't drive it often. However, each time I do it impresses me as to how competent it is in… Read more

every respect. It feels safely planted on the road, the on-demand AWD comes in quickly in slippery conditions, the seats are comfortable - 600 kms in a day no problems. Normally a very relaxed drive, but in hilly country "sport" mode is really useful - tightens the whole show up. Considering its size and weight, fuel economy is pretty good - 9l/100 km in town and 7 on country cruising. Likes - a really nice competent car that builds confidence in all driving conditions. Lexus quality service experience. Not so much - Radio and DAB reception well below standard - otherwise nothing to dislike.

I love this car, but I've encountered numerous issues since getting it. First, I want to note that the luxury is not that luxurious; the car is quite… Read more

simple inside. However, for that price, it could be more elegant. Funny story, there is no place to put my phone. I even tried buying a sticky holder, but there's nowhere to stick it. Absolutely, zero! So my holder stayed unused. Second, my phone and other objects keep falling into the hole between the seats, which is too narrow for you to reach in and retrieve them. What a luxury! (Being sceptical now).

After three years, I started experiencing a dead battery, which seems to drain quickly in this car. My battery died too often in inconvenient places, like airport parking. For a luxury and expensive car, this feature is not particularly practical. I mean, really? If you have an insurance or annual check-up, it costs so much, and replacing a battery costs me $ 300.

The car is comfortable and smooth to drive, but its minor drawbacks make it impractical. I'm even considering selling it for a more conventional, non-hybrid vehicle that's more comfortable—a real disappointment.

Following my car and caravan accident in my LX 570, and having been towing with my LX 500d F Sport, I am answering some follow-up questions. The… Read more

below vehicle is my 5th Lexus and 4th LX. After 3 brilliant LX models, either 470 or 570, this twin turbo diesel is nothing short of motoring excellence. The running costs are far less than my previous petrol models, especially considering the super responsive motor with peerless F Sport specific performance enhancements. See Lexus.com.au for specifics. I was incredibly fortunate to be insured with RACQ at the time of my accident. RACQ has been my insurer for the last 40 years. Never having had an accident in this time, I was absolutely thrilled with RACQ and their staff who had my back in an incredibly challenging situation and I simply cannot be more grateful. This company went above and beyond for my little family and I received personal support, the benefit of a customer-based best practice policy and I will never be insured with anyone else. Accidents may be unavoidable but buying a Lexus and being insured with RACQ meant certain disaster was averted.

Don’t have an accident – Great car but don’t have an accident. We had an accident at the end of May. Six months later still no car. Apparently all parts need to come from Japan and are in short supply. Lexus Australia didn’t seem to care when contacted “out of our control”. Show details

Pretty fun to drive for a hybrid. Suspension is firm, steering is direct, motor has decent torque to make up for the smaller engine used. I also got… Read more

5.4L/100km fuel economy which is half the fuel used for similar size vehicle previous owned. I didn’t get fatigue from driving this for long trips which I usually get that from small cars. Overall pretty happy with this purchase.
