What is the comparison between Lexus 570 and Land Cruiser 5700?
2 Answers
The differences between Lexus LX570 and Toyota Land Cruiser 5700 are as follows: Engine: Both the Lexus LX570 and Toyota Land Cruiser 5700 are equipped with a 5.7L V8 naturally aspirated engine, with the same model number 3UR-FE, and even the parameter tuning is identical. Except for slightly higher parameters in the Canadian version, the maximum power and torque of the LX570 engine in the Chinese and Middle Eastern versions are the same as those of the Middle Eastern Land Cruiser 5700. However, the Lexus engine features a cast iron cylinder block and dual VVT-i technology, while the Land Cruiser has an aluminum cylinder block and single VVT-i. The Lexus engine with dual VVT-i produces lower noise and has slightly better fuel efficiency than the Land Cruiser. Chassis and Suspension: The Land Cruiser 5700 offers KDSS and chassis lift functions, while the Lexus LX5700 does not provide KDSS but is equipped with the more advanced four-wheel active height control AHC and adaptive variable suspension system AVS.
I've driven both of these cars before, and the differences are quite noticeable. Take the Lexus 570, for example—it leans more towards luxury and comfort. Driving it in the city feels like sitting in a plush, high-end sofa, with its premium interior, soft seats, and excellent sound insulation, making long trips fatigue-free. On the other hand, the Land Cruiser 5700 is more of a hardcore off-road specialist. Its high chassis provides exceptional stability, minimizing bumps on rough terrain, and its off-road capabilities are outstanding. Both have 5.7-liter engines with ample power and quick acceleration, but the Lexus offers a smoother start. Price-wise, the Land Cruiser is significantly cheaper—you can get a new one for just over 200,000 yuan, and maintenance is hassle-free. The Lexus, however, is much more expensive, with high-quality interior materials but higher upkeep costs. Fuel consumption is pretty high for both, averaging around 10-12 liters in city driving. Overall, for daily commuting, I prefer the Lexus for its quiet comfort, but if you're into frequent off-roading, the Land Cruiser is the better choice.
