Default 2020 Lexus LX570 now with New Sport Package

Instead of the chrome-slatted grille, there's a meshed, blacked-out cheese-grater shnoz similar to the F Sport treatments on the RX. A chin spoiler grafted onto the lower bumper adds fake intakes and wedged contours, while the rear valance gets another add-on treatment that can't be seen in these two photos. New chrome and extra gloss-black trimmings for the side mirrors, along with standard 21-inch rims, separate the LX570 Sport from a non-Sport.
  1. A new appearance package for the Lexus LX570 simulates an F Sport version, without any F Sport hardware.
  2. The 2020 LX570's price is flat for the three-row version and several thousand less for the two-row version compared with 2019 models.
  3. The Sport package, which only comes on the three-row LX, is priced at $100,595 and makes its debut in September.

I'm not sure what I'm seeing here, but definitely uglier than the 2016 so-called "update".

Why would I want fake intakes, or for that matter 21" wheels and tires?

Why would I want to simulate an f-sport version, without the hardware?

Looks like this 200 version is aimed at wanna'-be Japanese gangsters, and/or the local getto...

Oh boy, another stupid useless update. Well, guess I will be looking at other brands. Tired of waiting for new LX.

You don't look at the LX because it has the latest tech or is the nicest looking car out there - you buy it because is dead reliable and has a crazy resale value.

Virtually every other car in this price range has far more modern tech, but that tech may not be as reliable - the reason that most luxury cars drop like a rock in value.

Many thanks for a dose of reality.

They will probably have this version of the lx our for 4 years before the complete refresh. I’ve read that the upcoming gx refresh (similar grill) be out for another 4-5 years as well before they change it out.

So true, I just saw an 2013 with 360k miles selling for 30k at a dealership, and it was very clean too.

Yeah, in looking for my next car (GX/LX/LC), I'm not only floored by the resale value but by the fact that they sell in no time.

But back on topic - I don't understand that grill. I don't think it looks luxurious or mean - it just looks huge and ugly with no redeeming qualities.

Back in 2003 Audi came out with their new grill. It met the European pedestrian safety regulations and was mocked by all. This grill, however, probably meets the regs as well on sedans, but is just ridiculous here.

cb steps off his soapbox, trips and bloodies his nose bumping into the LX grill...

While not pretty, the grille appears more subtle than the slatted one...so it is an improvement IMO.

seems like this was out in japan couple of years ago as a TRD item. I would have loved for them to give some wheels options like those 18" BBS wheels coming in the land cruiser. The grill i sort of like it, i think it might look Ok in person than pictures

Not bad... another reason for the great resale value is a new model doesn’t come out every other year...

I'd say that since Toyota exports only ~ 7000 200-series trucks a year to the North American makes a major difference...and that includes both LX and Land Cruiser models.

Contrast that with around 10X as many 4Runners.
