The thoughtful layout of the center console shows the human-oriented focus of L-finesse. Driving-related switches including drive mode select, Crawl Control and VSC are grouped together in easy reach of the driver for intuitive and natural operation, clearly separated from the independent grouping of comfort-focused switches for the driver and front seat passenger. The layout of the switches and cup holders is optimized to enhance ease of use.
LED lamps integrated into the front bumper reduce power consumption while providing a bright beam, contributing to excellent visibility for safe driving in low light and at night.
The next generation design of the distinctive 3-eye, energy-efficient LED lamps, which illuminate in a signature Lexus L-shape, flows seamlessly into the spindle grille to give the LX a bold fresh face. The L-shape signature is heightened by the integrated surface-emitting LED DRL (Daytime Running Lamp), and LED turn signal lamps that illuminate sequentially from the inner side to the outside of the headlamps.
VGRS optimally controls the steering gear ratio in response to vehicle speed and steering input, helping to realize excellent maneuverability and stability from low through to high speeds.
When towing a trailer, the system detects trailer sway triggered by wind, bumpy roads, or steering operation, and helps to suppress it by controlling braking and engine output.
When starting off on a slope, Hill-start Assist Control automatically maintains brake pressure to help prevent the vehicle from slipping backwards. It works both on-road and off-road to help reduce driver fatigue.
The Multi-terrain ABS (Anti-lock Brake System) senses driving conditions on dirt or sand, and optimizes ABS control for excellent stopping performance on different road surfaces. EBD (Electronic Brake force Distribution) helps to optimize the application of braking force to each wheel.
VSC helps prevent the loss of vehicle control, particularly when cornering quickly or at the onset of a skid. Selective application of the brakes and/or reducing power helps to enhance stability and reduce vehicle speed.
A-TRC helps enhance the ability to grip the road, especially when starting off or accelerating on uneven or slippery surfaces. Corrective measures are applied the moment the risk of wheelspin is detected, to help maintain traction.
The high-mount, double wishbone front suspension and 4-link rigid axle rear suspension contribute to the excellent handling, stability, and steering response, heightening driving pleasure. Optimizing the individual components including the coil springs, spring rate, and shock absorbers realizes luxurious ride comfort both on-road and off-road.
