Overview & Reviews

Lexus' largest SUV, the LX 470, heads into 2007 virtually unchanged from the previous year. The V8's power ratings fall slightly due to new testing procedures, though actual performance is unaffected. The only other significant change is the addition of a special "Limited Edition" model featuring Black Onyx paint, special wheels and distinctive exterior and interior trim.

• Quiet and refined demeanor, capable backwoods performer, slick adjustable suspension, splendid interior materials, Lexus build quality.

• Third-row seat is cramped, looks like a Land Cruiser but is as expensive as a Lexus.

  Lexus LX 470 -1st Lexus Experience - 2007 Lexus LX 470
  By NC Lexus 470 - August 26 - 11:50 am

  The 470 is a very smooth riding enjoyable truck that offers enough HP for beaches to mountains. The gas mileage is worse than my former Chevy Suburban but the smooth quality ride is a little better. Note to those considering: the navigation system is really bad. It blocks the driver and passenger from searching for anything while the vehicle is moving. There is no work-around and we were told there was a bypass by two dealerships we contacted when we couldnt figure out how I could use it while my husband drove. It is a huge flaw in the vehicle if you do more than local driving. Lots of room in the interior and would love to keep but probably last Lexus due to nav limits.

  Fantastic SUV! - 2007 Lexus LX 470
  By alexandre Vieira - February 2 - 11:36 pm

  Im from Monroe, NY a few months ago we had 31 inches of snow, no problem. It was amazing the way the car just cut into the snow, up stiff hills, of course you cannot fly through the snow, but you will not get stuck. I had Land Cruiser 99 for many years, I almost cried when I traded it in for this car in 2007, but Im in love again. A friend of mine told me one day, "The only thing that will stop a Land Cruiser, is if the road is closed." The fuel economy concerns me, but my LX 470 is sitting in my garage, shiny and clean, we only drive it on the weekends. I have also IS 250, but Ive been thinking of switching to a ES350, we need a bigger car.

  Awesome car - 2007 Lexus LX 470
  By CYM - June 19 - 12:36 am

  This is a great car. I rated most of the comfort, performance, etc., a 9 and not a 10 because when rating cars comfort, a car is the gold standard compared to an SUV. For an SUV, it is pretty comfortable, esp. for one that can go off-road and isnt a "crossover." The only complaint I have heard is that the style is "dated." I would disagree, its a nice looking car thats tough, yet refined and not crazy looking like some of the new SUVs around. It does eat up gas, but thats expected with a V8 in an SUV. Great car if you want to be able to go anywhere. Better value compared to any other lux SUVs in terms of options that come with it as a standard.

  I absolutely love my 07 LX470 - 2007 Lexus LX 470
  By Mom of Two - November 4 - 4:43 am

  Ive been wanting to get a Lexus SUV for quite some time. I waited until I was able to find the right price. I also wanted to get the older body type instead of the new 570s, which look a bit odd to me. I absolutely love this car! It has great handling, smooth ride, and a beautiful interior. It came fully loaded and you cant ask for anything more. The only downside is of course the gas mileage. But why would you buy an SUV without knowing that you would be paying a lot for gas. Anyhow, weve taken it to various off road terrains and it handles nice. I would highly recommend this car to any family!
