Review Of Armored Lexus LX 570: Official Car Of Kogi State Governor by AutoReportNG2: 2:02pm On Feb 25, 2017
Welcome to Kogi state, the confluence state. Kogi state was created on 25th August 1991 by the then military head of state, Ibrahim Babangida. Kogi state was carved out of Kwara state, Ekiti and among some other clans. The present governor, Mr. Yahya Bello became the governor after the death of the winner of the 2015 elections. We took a swipe at the wonder on wheels of the governor based on a report being circulated online that he rides in an 110Million Lexus SUV ride. Please note that it's not in our capacity to politicize this post as all we do is review just for love of the cars and other luxurious vehicles we see around. Take a look at the wonders on a wheel of the executive governor of Kogi state, Mr. Yahya Bello.

Introduction
The Lexus LX 570 is essentially a mildly restyled version of the Toyota Land Cruiser. That mean's it's an old-school, full-size SUV that can tow like a pickup and venture off the pavement to remote places where few other vehicles dare tread.

Recent Changes
The Lexus LX receives more standard safety features for the latest model year.

Overview
Though it can't match the space or handling refinement of some competitors, it's nevertheless plenty civilized in most driving situations while offering an even more coddling interior than the already opulent Land Cruiser.

It's fair to say that they don't make them like the LX 570 anymore. Most automakers have long since retired their trucklike, body-on-frame SUVs for car-based crossovers as buyers recognize they want improved fuel efficiency and handling more than towing ability and off-roading chops.

However, some folks still need those extreme capabilities and want them in combination with big-time luxury. For them, the LX 570 is one of the best remaining choices.

With its rugged construction, electronically adjustable suspension and four-wheel-drive system with low-range gearing, the LX 570 is a true mountain goat on the trails. Its standard Crawl Control system can even automatically control the throttle and brakes to help maintain a steady pace on steep declines or while maneuvering over rough, uneven surfaces.

The LX 570 boasts a 5.7-liter V8 that pairs with an all-new, eight-speed automatic transmission and produces 383 horsepower and 403 lb-ft of torque (up slightly over last year's). That's enough output to muscle the big SUV over precipitous hills or tow up to 7,000 lbs. Fuel economy is about what one would expect: 13 in the city and 18 on the highway, a product of the LX 570's big motor and bigger mass.

Despite its rough and tough strengths, the LX 570 also delivers a comfortable daily driving experience due in large part to its adaptive dampers, which provide a smooth ride while also mitigating body roll. All-new Drive Mode Select allows the driver to fine-tune the LX 570's powertrain and suspension response for the ideal balance of comfort and performance.
With soft leather upholstery, handsome wood trim and excellent fit-and-finish, the cabin is an enjoyable place to spend time. Befitting the LX 570's price point, numerous desirable features are standard, with highlights including a navigation system, heated front seats, a sunroof and a power liftgate.

A standard 12.3-inch touchscreen display integrates Lexus' Enform suite of apps, including Yelp, Pandora and iHeartRadio.

Standard and Optional Features
The LX 570 is fitted as standard with leather upholstery, genuine wood trim, a navigation system, four-zone automatic climate control, a sunroof, a power-closing tailgate, heated front seats, a nine-speaker AM/FM/CD stereo with AUX and USB inputs, Bluetooth connectivity with streaming audio, auto on/off headlights, cruise control, full power accessories, power-adjustable first-, second- and third-row seats power-folding heated exterior mirrors, adaptive xenon headlights, LED taillights and 20-inch alloy wheels.

OP, your reviews are becoming stale and boring. Copy and paste info you're churning out is becoming too much. Doing houseboy car reviews of Governors as if that is all you know.

Go and get info on car crashes that made history, vehicles with the best and worst safety devices, vehicles with the best and least resale value, billionaires with the cheapest automobiles and information like that.

In blogging, the rule is innovate or liquidate.
