For superior ride and handling, the Land Rover Range Rover has fully independent front and rear suspensions. An independent suspension allows the wheels to follow the road at the best angle for gripping the pavement, without compromising ride comfort. The Lexus LX has a solid rear axle, with a non-independent rear suspension.
The Range Rover has standard front and rear stabilizer bars, which help keep the Range Rover flat and controlled during cornering. The LX base model’s suspension doesn’t offer a rear stabilizer bar.
The Range Rover offers active sway bars, which help keep it flat and controlled during cornering, but disconnect at lower speeds to smooth the ride and offer greater off-road suspension articulation. This helps keep the tires glued to the road on-road and off. The LX doesn’t offer an active sway bar system.
The front and rear suspension of the Range Rover uses air springs for a smoother, controlled ride than the LX, which uses coil springs. Air springs maintain proper ride height and ride more smoothly.
The Range Rover’s drift compensation steering can automatically compensate for road conditions which would cause the vehicle to drift from side to side, helping the driver to keep the vehicle straight more easily. The LX doesn’t offer drift compensation steering.
For a smoother ride and more stable handling, the Range Rover SWB’s wheelbase is 5.8 inches longer than on the LX (118 inches vs. 112.2 inches).
For better maneuverability, the Range Rover SWB’s turning circle is 3.5 feet tighter than the LX’s (35.9 feet vs. 39.4 feet). The Range Rover LWB’s turning circle is 1.5 feet tighter than the LX’s (37.9 feet vs. 39.4 feet).
For greater off-road capability the Range Rover has a 2.7 inches greater minimum ground clearance than the LX (11.6 vs. 8.9 inches), allowing the Range Rover to travel over rougher terrain without being stopped or damaged.
