The immense strength and outstanding rigidity essential to peerless off-road performance are the products of an exceptionally strong frame made with extensive use of high-tensile steel. In addition to outstanding off-road performance, it helps make the LX a robust and safe vehicle.
The dynamic V8 engine generates impressive power to tackle very demanding off-road conditions. The cylinder block is die cast in lightweight yet strong aluminum alloy, providing outstanding reliability and durability. The engine combines seamlessly with the super intelligent 8-speed automatic transmission (8 Super ECT) to deliver power smoothly and efficiently. The Multi-mode Automatic Transmission and addle shift switches enable manual shift changes for exhilarating sports driving pleasure.
In the cabin, the feeling of power is expressed in the strong horizontal lines of the layout that enhance orientation while driving off-road. It is complemented by the beautiful craftsmanship, melding fine leather, rich wood trim, metal like ornamentation and deep piano black finish to exude a feeling of elegant refinement. The subtle white illumination of the instrumentation and cabin lighting further deepens the luxury experience.
In evolving the iconic flagship of Lexus SUVs, the muscular design dynamically expresses the LX theme of ‘muscular premium’ through the key concepts of ‘powerful’, ‘advanced’, ‘luxurious’ and ‘urban sophistication’. The solid athletic presence set on bold 21-inch aluminum wheels projects forward power through the signature Lexus spindle grille which is reinforced by solid inner bars. The eye-catching Lexus L-shaped illumination of the triple LED headlamps heightens the immediate identification of the LX as a Lexus.
This exciting engine combines a compact high-efficiency twin scroll turbocharger with an Atkinson Cycle engine with Dual VVT-iW to deliver an exhilarating driving performance and excellent fuel efficiency. To realize optimum combustion, the innovative D-4ST features both direct and port injectors. This helps generate high torque from low through to high rpm ranges, high level responsiveness, as well as enhancing fuel economy.*
The 10 twin-spoke design of these aluminum wheels has a layered construction that conveys a sense of elegance.
