The third-generation Lexus LX 570 will see a notable update this year with the introduction of the 2013 model.

Its restyled front-end features the new spindle grille, one of the key elements of the updated L-finesse design language, as well as LED daytime running lights that complement the headlamp design.

Other exterior changes include wider bodyside moldings; new taillamps; updates to the front and rear bumpers; and a stainless steel accent on the rear bumper protector:

The 2013 LX 570 will also be sporting a new set of 20-inch alloy wheels:

The interior also received a refresh, and the vehicle now includes the new Lexus Enform apps[1][2][3]:

The instrument panel has been redesigned, and it includes a new multi-information color display:

A noteworthy feature, says Paul Williamsen, National Manager of the Lexus College, is the Multi-terrain System, which allows the driver to “optimize performance” by selecting from five terrain types.

Williamsen also points out that there’s a new Turn Assist feature: “This is for when you’re turning at low speed, such as in a campground. The system adds more brake force to the inside rear wheel, so it tightens the turning radius of the vehicle.”

The 2013 LX 570 arrives in dealerships in early February.
