LX Performance Unstoppable 4WD Performance

The LX570 is one of most capable 4WD vehicles ever built, thanks in part to its advanced traction, braking and suspension systems. But it is not just about toughness and durability. Inside you’ll enjoy a quiet and smooth ride, the product of a chassis frame designed to separate the suspension from the bodyshell, to help prevent noise and vibration entering the cabin. Full-time four-wheel drive gives you confidence on slippery surfaces, while a rugged TORSEN LSD (Limited Slip Differential) automatically directs power to the wheels that need it most.

LX Performance Peerless Engineering

The LX570 development program focused on ensuring drivers can travel on or off-road with equal composure. This requires an exceptionally strong chassis, but not at the expense of comfort and refinement. The solution is a unique high-tensile steel chassis frame with the strength to resist the twisting forces of uneven terrain. The rigidity of the chassis lets you take on rough terrain, ford rivers and climb mountainsides with ease. In fact the LX570 was test-driven in some of the most challenging conditions that the world could offer.

LX_ Performance Outstanding V8 Power

The LX570 luxury SUV is powered by the largest engine ever fitted to a Lexus. Equiped with a 5.7 Liter Engine, delivering 362HP of output and 54.0kg-m of torque, it works seamlessly with a very flexible 6-speed automatic transmission with optional paddle shift switches for both dynamic and smooth gear changes. It will accelerate from 0 to 100km/h in 7.8 seconds up to a top speed of 220km/h (electronically limited). With its V8 cylinder block die-cast in lightweight yet strong aluminum alloy, it is also an engine that will last – providing great reliability and durability.

GX _Design Absolute Tranqulity

The peace and tranquility of the GX460’s interior set an entirely new benchmark for luxury SUVs. Numerous measures were taken to help reduce noise and vibration to a minimum, beginning with the advanced ‘Body on Frame’ construction which incorporates sophisticated dampers to absorb vibration. The engine mounts also absorb a significant amount of vibration. Because SUV engines can also create substantial noise, Lexus engineers focused on minimizing friction and enhancing the rotational balance of the engine, as well as using an insulated engine cover to further mute extraneous sound.

GX _Design Exquisite Quality

The GX460 provides a showcase for the talents of some of the world’s finest craftspeople. Inside, for example, the storage compartments glide silently open with a movement inspired by traditional Japanese sliding doors. The wood inlays have a deeply polished sheen. Outside, every GX460 has a flawless paint finish—the result of a special partnership between advanced paint-shop robots and experienced hands, in which it is also checked by eye as well as digitally to help ensure the perfect finish.

GX _Design First Class Luxury

The GX460 is a study in contrasts. Outside, the impression is of strength, ruggedness and resolve. Inside, the seven-seat leather luxury and sumptuous cabin are designed to anticipate and answer your every need. Take, for instance, the advanced air conditioning. As the driver and passengers may have different heating or cooling requirements, the GX460 has three completely separate climate control zones (driver, front passenger & rear). For the ultimate in entertainment, the GX460 is available with the very latest 17-speaker Mark Levinson Premium Surround Sound System (Optional).

GX _Design Dynamic SUV Design

Combining futuristic design cues with formidable off-road strength, the stunning GX460 offers all the classic space of a large and powerful SUV. Exuding dynamism and making full use of an impressive wheelbase, its commanding yet reassuring profile gives a very resolute impression. Viewed from the front, the dynamic low-set ‘spindle grille’ with the three-dimensional form of the horizontal bars of the upper grille and the honeycomb of the lower grille emphasizes the bold robust stance.

RX_HYBRID INTELLIGENCE

The RX450h’s instrumentation gives you advanced information and control of driving characteristics. The easy-to-read Hybrid System Indicator clearly shows the status of the hybrid system in a glance. The multi-information switch allows you to choose between Eco Mode, Normal Mode and Sport Mode, reflecting the style of driving you want to enjoy. The RX450h features EV (Electric Vehicle)-Drive Mode* which is designed to enhance quietness while driving in residential areas late at night, and to reduce emissions in indoor car parks and garages.

RX_Hybrid Towards a high-performance SUV hybrid system

Combining with the 3.5-liter V6 engine as the RX450h’s principal power source is a high output front motor with high voltage and high revolutions. The front unit consisting of this front motor, together with a generator, power split device, reduction gear and other components, works as a transmission. The compact, high-output front motor is realized by a reduction gear that amplifies the motor’s torque, helping to attain powerful driving and high fuel economy.
