The F SPORT suspension delivers damping characteristics that suit sports driving sensibilities, giving a natural feeling in response to the road conditions and vehicle behavior. Exclusive tuning of the double wishbone front suspension and multi-link rear suspension included the shock absorbers and other components, together with the EPS.
The front sports seats are the product of an innovative ‘integrated foaming’ manufacturing process. They provide a blend of refined comfort with firm support and excellent holding performance for sports driving.
A direct evolution of the groundbreaking design and functionality of the meter in the Lexus LFA, the innovative single dial meter takes center stage with a combination of Lexus sophistication and cutting-edge precision. In addition to showing information in a clear and logical manner, the meter ring display changes to reflect the drive mode selected.
When the driver activates the multi-information system, the F SPORT meter ring slides to the side to display additional information including a turbo boost meter with oil temperature and pressure gauges, and a G sensor with steering angle. The boost meter is for the IS200t only.
When the millimetre-wave radar and monocular camera detect a collision with a vehicle ahead is likely, it alerts the driver using a buzzer and on the multi-information display, and activates pre-crash brake assist when the driver depresses the brake pedal. If the driver cannot depress the brake pedal, then it activates the pre-crash brakes to help avoid a collision or mitigate the impact force.
In addition to maintaining a constant speed, Dynamic Radar Cruise Control uses the millimeter-wave radar and monocular camera to detect a vehicle driving ahead and maintain an appropriate distance between vehicles at speeds over 40km/h.
LDA with Steering Control alerts the driver with a sensory alert using steering wheel vibration or a buzzer, and on the multi-information display if the system judges the vehicle is about to cross the lane markings without using the turn signals, and assists steering to avoid lane departure. In addition, Vehicle Sway Warning monitors steering operation and the vehicle’s position within a lane to detect vehicle sway due to driver inattention or drowsiness, and alerts the driver by a buzzer and on the multi-information display.
When the quasi-millimeter-wave radars in the rear bumper detect vehicles in adjacent lanes that aren’t visible in the door mirrors, the system activates a warning indicator in the relevant door mirror the moment a vehicle enters this blind spot.
The innovative PUH helps to provide pedestrian protection in the event of a frontal collision, and at the same time enables a sporty design with a low hood line. When the sensors mounted in the front bumper determine that the vehicle has collided with a pedestrian, the hood instantly pops up to create a space to absorb the impact force.
To assist safe reversing, RCTA uses quasi-millimeter-wave radars in the rear bumper to detect approaching vehicles in difficult-to-see areas behind the vehicle. When an approaching vehicle is detected, RCTA alerts the driver using a buzzer and indicator in the relevant door mirror.
