The Lexus LX 570 Superior is spectacular, but you'll have to go to Russia to buy it

There are occasions, as we know, when a brand wants to launch a specific model for one of the markets where it is present. This usually happens to reinforce the image and presence in those particular markets. We have seen it several times, and we will see it again soon. Now we have the chance to see a special version of the Lexus LX 570, on which they have worked to give it a much more attractive and powerful image. To do so, it has been given a suffix, so we are talking about the Lexus LX 570 Superior.

This luxury SUV has seen its image reinforced with a new body kit, featuring new front and rear bumpers, more pronounced side skirts and new, larger wheels. The more aggressive look is completed by a new front grille with a different design, which helps give it that more “Superior” image compared to the model it is based on, which is already quite interesting.

The images we have available are not of very high quality, as they come from a leak that lets us see the appearance of the model updated for the Russian market. The interior will be revealed when this version of the car is finally launched, although we assume the designers will have continued with the sportier and more aggressive line, improving the interior, which, as we know, is that of a luxury off-roader.

As for the engine, we expect it to keep the same petrol engine it currently uses in the Russian market. The Lexus LX 570 uses a 5.7-litre V8 engine that delivers 372 CV and a maximum torque of 535 Nm. In this market it can also be bought with a 4.5-litre V8 diesel engine with an output of 272 CV and a maximum torque of 650 Nm, although it is not expected to be offered with the “Superior” version. This version will also reach the Middle East, although in that market it will be called the LX 570S. In the rest of the markets this version is not expected, although we might come across some surprise in this regard.
