2013 Lexus LX 570 is heading to dealerships as we speak and will carry a starting MSRP of $80,930 (not including delivery, processing and handling fee of $875), a jump of 1.9 percent or $1,475.

“With all of the enhanced features, the LX 570 offers perhaps the most exciting combination of luxury, on-road smoothness and off-road performance of any vehicle in its segment,” said Mark Templin, group vice president and general manager, Lexus Division.

Power for the 2013 Lexus LX 570 still comes from a 5.7 liter V8 making 383-hp and a maximum torque of 403 lb-ft.

Besides a new design, for 2013, the Lexus LX 570 received an updated Crawl Control feature, new Turn Assist system, a Multi-terrain Select system and the company’s new Lexus Enform infotainment system.

Buyers can also opt for the Luxury Package ($1,510), which includes a cool box for beverages, semi-aniline leather-trimmed upholstery with new contrast stitching, a heated steering wheel, new mahogany wood-trimmed door switch plates, a rear-center armrest cover, heated and ventilated front seats, heated second-row seat and Smart Access card key. On top of that, buyers can add a rear-seat entertainment package priced at $2,005.
