Combination meters featuring a three-dimensional layout and elegant indirect lighting offer the distinctive blend of advanced functionality and design for which Lexus is known, enhanced by a multi-information display using a white organic LED. The high-contrast display, which is designed for exceptional visibility, presents a range of easy-to-see driving and fuel economy information.
The EMV (Electro Multi-Vision) display (Optional) can be changed by a touch of your fingertips without moving your hand from the center console. This revolutionary device, known as Remote Touch (Optional), lies at the heart of the new operational feeling provided by the cockpit. The system is designed to allow you to operate the screen from a distance, as if you were tracing actions with your fingers.
The multi-information switch, which places a range of information and functionality linked to the multi-information display within easy reach of the driver on the steering wheel, complements the simple operational feel of Remote Touch (Optional). Among its features is an open door window warning function that lets the driver close all windows with a single switch on the steering wheel, providing a reliable way of preventing the windows from being left open by mistake.
Incorporating an electronically-controlled Active Torque Control AWD (All Wheel Drive) system, it not only provides excellent off-road driveability, but also sporty and stable on-road driving performance. Fuel-efficient front-wheeldrive is used during normal driving. When starting or accelerating, and whendriving on slippery road surfaces, the system optimally distributes torque to the rear wheels according to the status of the vehicle.
Thanks to state-of-the-art technology and meticulous tuning, the RX350’s 3.5-liter V6 engine features easy handling in the low-speed range and an unconstrained acceleration feel in the high-speed range. The super intelligent 6-speed automatic transmission <6 Super ECT (Electronic Controlled Transmission)> not only delivers smooth starting and acceleration performance,but also contributes to the excellent fuel economy, contributing to the excellent driving performance and showcasing Lexus’s distinctive power and smoothness under various conditions.
To inspire unconstrained confident driving and provide easy access to the exceptional driving pleasure, it features VDIM (Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management), an advanced integrated control system that combines sophisticated active safety functions with optimized stability and control. VDIM integrates operation of systems such as TRC (Traction Control System), VSC (Vehicle Stability Control), and ABS (Anti-lock Brake System) with EBD (Electronic Brake force Distribution) which normally operate independently. In addition, it consolidates control of the EPS (Electric Power Steering).
The ample space of the cabin belies the easily maneuverable body size. Features such as a generous interior width, ample space between the front and rear seats, and a flat floor for the rear seats, contributed to the creation of a luxurious open space where five adults can relax in comfort. In addition, careful attention has been paid to quality and comfort throughout. To provide a high level of comfort, the texture of the seating surfaces was refined and detailed analysis carried out of the occupants’ posture when getting into the vehicle, and their movements as they sit down.
The design of the cockpit seeks to place everything within easy reach of the driver by combining “the pursuit of operation and lines of sight” with a “layout that supports a revolution in driving operation”. Lexus created a new cockpit concept designed to let the driver concentrate on driving with confidence and peace of mind. The cockpit is clearly separated into a display zone that presents information and an operation zone that allows the driver to access that information.
The spacious, high-quality interior also delivers the exceptional utility of an SUV. Thanks to a one-action function, folding down the seatback of either of the 60/40 split rear seats causes the corresponding seat cushion to drop down, further enlarging a luggage space that has been designed with ample width for optimum ease of use. On the left and right of the luggage space you’ll find remote operation levers for folding down the rear seatbacks with a single action, delivering a high level of utility.
The RX delivers the graceful dignity and intelligence of a luxury car even as it adopts a powerful stance. Lexus sought to create a bold and refined form that will stand out in various conditions. From the front, the low wide appearance belies its height as an SUV and creates a sense of being firmly planted on the ground. From the side, the shoulder lines and steeply raked quarter pillars create a new look of sculpted beauty. From the rear, the same aura of firmly planted strength of the front is tempered by a beautiful roof line that leaves a pleasing impression.
