2004 Lexus LX 470 Review
Price Estimate: $3,611 - $5,828

Edmunds' Expert Review
by the Edmunds Experts
Pros
- Quiet and refined demeanor, capable backwoods performer, slick adjustable suspension, splendid interior materials, Lexus build quality.
Cons
- High price, lack of horsepower.
What’s new
The LX 470 is enhanced for 2004 with the addition of a rear backup camera system and new Bluetooth wireless technology that allows for hands-free cell phone use.
Edmunds says
Yes, it costs well over $60,000. But for the money, you'd be hard-pressed to find a more versatile, luxurious and capable vehicle.

2004 Lexus LX 470 4WD 4dr SUV (4.7L 8cyl 5A)
Well built, quality SUV. Expensive yes,
but the cost is offset by the joy of
driving and the dependability. Better
than any of the three Mercedes I owned.
The bottom line is: would I buy another
one. The answer:yes.But why would I
want to part with this one?

2004 Lexus LX 470 4WD 4dr SUV (4.7L 8cyl 5A)
This was the 5th Lexus we've purchased
and it's wonderful. I just traded in
my 1998 LX470 that had 100K on it, and
never had any problems the entire time
I owned it. I thought that care was
so wonderful, and this one is even
eons better. Smooth, quiet, great
stereo, great nav system...doesn't get
any better.

4.75 out of 5 starslarry Sands, 03/03/2004
2004 Lexus LX 470 4WD 4dr SUV (4.7L 8cyl 5A)
I bought the 407 to drive from Florida
to Wyoming and to drive the final 50
miles of poorly graded and sometimes
impassable road. The last 10 miles was
through mudslick downhills into
mudholes of unknown depths and up 45
degree grades of eroded mud and rocks.
We made it into one of the most remote
ranches in Wyoming without any skids,
slides or wheel spinning. The SUV … was a
muddy mess, but we were exhuberant.
After driving back from Wyoming the 407
has led a much more sedate life as a
semi-town car, but it's still fun to
drive. Larry Sands. DeLand, Florida.

2004 Lexus LX 470 4WD 4dr SUV (4.7L 8cyl 5A)
THis is my 6th lx470. It is a wonderful
vehicle to drive and the low hp240 is
not a factor for every day driving. The
comfort and the quality of the vehicle
is great. Using the current gear shift
system and taking off the overdrive on
climbing hills or passing, you would'nt
know it has a low hp. This is a luxury
car ride in an SUV. If you are towing
something the it … may feel a little
underpowered. How often does the
average 470 owner have something in
tow? You won't get me buying anything
but a 470. An upgrade in the cargo
space and hp will be great in the new
model, but for now this baby is the
cream of the crop.
