Expert reviews: 

The Lexus LX 570 marries an old-school SUV portfolio with all the leather, all the wood, and almost all the space.

Pros
Big V-8 power
Plush cabin
Great for towing
Big, and big inside

Cons
Kludgy, tiny, fixed third-row seat
Horrible gas mileage
Elephantine handling
Bracing front-end style

The 2018 Lexus LX ranked #5 in Luxury Large SUVs. Currently the Lexus LX has a score of 8.2 out of 10 which is based on our evaluation of 63 pieces of research and data elements using various sources.

Pros
Cushioned ride
Great for off-roading
Upscale cabin
History of high predicted reliability ratings

Cons
Less cargo space than rivals
Subpar fuel economy
Distracting infotainment system controller

By: 
usnews.com

The 2018 Lexus LX 570 is essentially unchanged.The LX 570 comes in only one trim level and offers just a few options. Get the sensational Mark Levinson sound system. If you have kids, you might also be tempted by the rear-seat entertainment system.

PROS
High off-road capability for a luxury SUV
Beautifully crafted cabin

CONS
Poor fuel economy, even for a luxury SUV
Tech interface is distracting to use
Second and third rows lack space and versatility

The T-Roc may be among the most significant of many new Volkswagen models, even if it won’t be sold in the United States in the foreseeable future. It’s a new crossover that is roughly the same size as the Golf and is based on the same MQB architecture. For now, at least, the Golf will remain the mainstay of the brand’s lineup, but those within the company who are concerned with sales-growth rates are far more interested in the crossover-SUV segment nearly everywhere on the globe.

Pros
Golf-like driving dynamics,
decent packaging,
adventurous design (for VW).

Cons
Only average interior quality,
firm ride,
we likely won’t get it.

The T-Roc is a small family car that blends the high driving position and big boot of an SUV with the economical engines from a conventional small car. It is quite expensive, however…

Pros
More comfortable than alternatives
Well equipped as standard
Decent range of engines

Cons
Cheap-feeling interior plastics
Alternatives are cheaper
Back seats could be more spacious

By:

The Volkswagen T-Roc looks good, drives well and offers plenty of space, but it's pricey and some rivals have a nicer interior.

Pros
Easy to personalise
Good to drive
Stylish

Cons
Expensive
Interior quality issues
Rivals offer better value
