Lexus LX test drive since 2008 SUV
Mamin-Sibiryak
A significant part of domestic motorists when choosing a car is guided by the principle of the Shukshinsky hero did not live well, not to start. These people love and praise asceticism in the vehicle. They say: I do not need excess in the car, the main thing is that I would take it to the place. And what will I need to buy. I don't understand such a position. To love the car in the basic configuration is the same as to love a pie without filling. Another idea is closer to me: the pie should crack from the filling, and the car should have one basic equipment, it is also full. Fortunately, the right pies and cars have recently appeared more and more. But the Lexus LX 570 is the most complete pie that I have lately tried. 
On seven grew, one got it. I found an accurate definition of this car. Absolutely accurate. Lexus LX 570 This is a mother-siberian. Of course, my definition of a direct relationship has no direct attitude to the great Russian writer Dmitry Narkisovich. But when you look at this car five meters in length and almost two meters in height and width, you clearly see: this is one hundred percent mother-Siberian, and not some Sukhovo-Kobylin. On the other hand, the Lexus LX 570 is really mom, and not dad's Siberian. Despite his gigantic size, the powerful of the Siberian healthy man is powerful, he even externally gives the impression not a barbaric, deliberately rude creature, but a city and civilized resident. 
The test drive of the car is even more convinced that the Lexus LX 570 is more luxury and a city car than a special forces, a combat SUV. If he climbs somewhere in men's showdowns and alterations, he will not make it headlong, but very carefully and with caution. I frankly doubt that he will crawl somewhere in serious mud (after all, the full weight of the LX 570 is 3300 kilograms), although his body can rise to 300 millimeters, and for crawling, by the way, the car has a special system that is that So is the control of crawling or CRAWL CONTROL. 
The system itself is gorgeous, it can be recommended by NASA and Roscosmos for installation on MARSO and Luno-Roads. With Crawl Control, the machine is able to move at a speed of 1 km/h, 3 km/h or 5 km/h. The system independently operates and controls the engine, brakes and center differentials in short, everything that needs, while the driver is disconnected. Its role is reduced to the obligation to choose the direction of movement. To take away his steering wheel finally a task, which, apparently, is set to the engineers of the next Lexus. As one wise person said, the task of the technology is to redo the world so that you can no longer encounter it. Full of the box. The car is very good. Firstly, in it is very comfortable in every sense. When you are on the road at Lexus LX 570, not a single motorist is even very nervous and the brave will think of cutting you or throwing you in front of you unexpected and annoying the form of you.
Riding ahead of you will try to free your strip as quickly as possible. You will never relax at a respectful distance from behind, they will not fall asleep at the wheel, they will not dare to even dig into the nose or hop the brakes. Because the car, despite its own civilized image, makes you suspect others that its owner is a person with a harsh life position. And if something happened from the car, such a Siberian mother with a baseball bat can get out that mom do not grieve.
Secondly, the Lexus LX 570 The car is very rich. Full -wheel drive full of minced meat, full board, full ... well, wherever you throw a complete paragraph everywhere. This one is crammed with everything that is possible. This is hello to the writer Privalovsky millions on wheels. When in the car, even the seats of the third row, I emphasize, have electrical adjustments, and there is a car less than 100 thousand, there is a suspicion that there were not without the help of Chinese labor drummers. It seems to me that if someone from the great German three made such a size, then it would cost 150 thousand euros, and the options in it would still be two times less.
In Lexus LX 570, their full bowl. Here you have an adaptive suspension with four options for the stiffness of shock absorbers, and advanced ABS, and the same CRAWL CONTROL, and a four-zone climate control with a fast heating of the salon, and Mark Levinson, and nineteen speakers, and a six DVD chainer, and a monitor from the back, and a monitor from the back. So that children watch cartoons, and skin, and African tree ...
An amazing display, which, can doubt, will be replaced by plasma in future Lexus SUVs. In the 570th, the display is almost reaching the size of the home theater in size. The main thing in it is so many functions that you can hang yourself. Fantasts of the 20th century could not even imagine this. Information about the operation of the car systems is displayed on the touch screen, a television and navigation picture, data from radio and CD, an image from a camera that can look around the whole car ... Everything for a person. And this is very correct. And you fall to hell with your asceticism. How those who said ten years ago that they said that they are perfectly without a mobile phone. How those who curse the Internet are now perish. You can not use it, but it should always be at hand.
A trough and mastist. It’s nice to watch Lexus LX 570 from the inside. The eye is happy. With an excessive (no, I just put up to ensure that such a set in the car becomes the norm, but another word is difficult to choose) wealth, there is no obvious rampant in the cabin. I will say even a more faculty thing: in this large Lexus I saw the first, albeit weak, step to cool design. Although the only thing that could keep me from the purchase of LX 570 is just a design. In the design of sedans, the company has already reached a decent level. Lexus sedans have something close to the London style, there is a taste. Lexus had big problems with SUVs. And this is the first time when it seems that the designer department of Lexus, which is responsible for large and high cars, finally got out of a coma or returned from a collective vacation, where he was for a long time. Of course, the Lexus LX 570 is not Land Rover LRX. If we look at LRX, then we will go crazy, and at the sight of the Lexus LX 570 we will remain in full reason. Nevertheless, it is better and more pleasant from all that bulky transport that Toyota & Lexus has still been produced.
By behavior, I put the Lexus LX 570 five with a minus. I thought the car would wallow in different directions and very badly obey the steering wheel. As is usually the case with such large apparatuses of the Japanese Mother class. But it turned out not so. For a three -ton car, the Lexus LX 570 behaves very well, amazingly stable, surprisingly sane in straight and in corners. The engine is powerful, but not burnt. Its volume is not just to put dust in the eyes and stream in the cylinders. He gives a crazy pickup somewhere already at 2000-3000 revolutions. Honor and praise.
I would criticize the brakes. Nothing more, only brakes. They did not dispel me some sense of danger emanating from the car with such proportions and comfort. Lexus LX 570, in my opinion, should
have double brakes. Because he, of course, relaxes incredibly. A dispersed citizen may seem that he is still going at a speed of 50 km/h, although he has long been exceeded 150 km/h. The citizen sits high and conveniently, looks far away, he becomes self -confident and here it is not far from trouble. With the rest, Lexus LX 570 has a complete order. Pull money, roll and have pleasure. Motor: Having tested the new Lexus 570 on almost all possible coatings, having fucked up at his steering wheel in California, including on the sand dunes of the Pacific coast, I even more clearly realized why not only in America, but also in America Russia's name Lexus has become almost a household name and why the number of people who are ready to overpay for a little more sophisticated
Land Cruiser. An impressive and solid car, regardless of the road situation, surrounds its owner with unprecedented comfort and serenity. Whether you climb into the mountains, whether you are rushing along the freeway or lay the turns in the Lexus salon is always calm. There are not many cars in the world that can in the same extent protect from the external environment. And many of our wealthy compatriots want such internal peace. But at one time, one more entertaining saying of the unforgettable Nikita Sergeyevich is to come true at the same generation of Soviet people will live under communism, and we would not have caught up with America to achieve this peace ... Quattroroute: Lexus LX 570 This is primarily a luxury, but not only. Its equipment includes a number of systems that are not available to the twin brother Toyota Land Cruiser 200. For example, the suspension rigidity system: in addition to the neutral position, the lever of the corresponding selector on the tunnel can be converted to Sport or Comfort mode. If you can feel a great difference between them, then a fairy tale about the princess on a pea, as if created for existence in conditions of sophisticated luxury, is about you. The usual mortal change will not be very noticeable, because the LX 570 boasts excellent smoothness.
And with respect to his slightly less comfort or a little more too insignificant nuance. Author: Manage? The Lexus LX 570 retained the main virtues of the predecessor adequacy and predictability ... Responses on the turn of the American lights are slow, but accurate. The limit is mild torsion of the front. But Lexus does not provoke Lexus: a strong on -board pitch begins in a steep turn under the whistle of the tires. And the brake pedal, although informative, but with an intensive slowdown on the Differtant on the nose of the wow! Small trajectory deviations on the bumps from twitching of the unreasonable rear axle, guided by the archaic traction of Panar ... But what about the suspension with cunning hydropneumatics AVS? She must actively resist the rolls and slander! After all, this is not a simple passive hydraulics of Monroe Kinetic,
as on the younger brother GX 470 (a similar system was now installed on Land Cruiser 200). Here the liquid is not pumped between hydraulic cylinders cut into stabilizers, but between shock absorbers! The principal diagram is similar to ... hydro -pneumatic suspension Hydractive II Citroen cars. By the way, shock absorbers are supplied by Hitachi, and Toyota produces all other components on its own. 5 wheels: What is in common with the new Lexus LX 570 and residents of the Kin-dza-dza galaxy? On the planet, Pluk, the social status of a person was easily determined by eye due to color differentiation of pants. Simple and clear. Everyone knows who should sit down in front of whom and how many times should sit down and bathe. The uncomplicated foundations of the fictional world are funny to Russian reality. Only, instead of a bright wardrobe item, a recognition function often performs an expensive car, and squats with a 3 -last ku! Successfully replaced by a universal respect on the road. In particular, if this very car is not placed in the rear-view mirror, its false radiator lattice decorates the Lexus emblem, and on the door of the trunk of a rapidly retreating SUV, it gleams the letter-cyphrae LX 570.
