Lexus LX570: A Luxury 4WD with extreme capabilities.
The LX570 offers the velvety ride of a luxury
cruiser, while taking tough challenges in its stride. When it comes
to performance, there few other luxury vehicles match its rough
terrain capabilities.
Powered by a 5.7 L, V8 engine, the LX comes with a six-speed
transmission. The vehicle adds more teeth to its terrain crunching
ability with the new Crawl Control technology. In difficult off road
situations, this revolutionary new system manages braking and
acceleration to minimise wheel spin and wheel lock up. It provides
increased throttle control when manoeuvring over rough or difficult
surfaces.
In low range, Crawl Control will help maintain appropriate low
speeds allowing the driver to concentrate on steering the car on the
desired path - without having to operate the accelerator or the
brakes. Similar to cruise control in maintaining vehicle speed,
Crawl Control also actuates a set of virtual locking differentials
to minimize tire slippage and to maximize chassis behavior.
While Crawl Control can be compared in some ways to cruise control,
the driver constantly maintains control over the vehicle. Without
cancelling the Crawl Control mode, the driver can reduce vehicle
speed by braking, or alter the speed higher or lower by adjusting a
speed selector switch.
The Lexus LX570 is capable of going almost anywhere linking its full
time four wheel drive system to its new four wheel electro-hydraulic
suspension system, which includes Active Height Control (AHC) and
Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS).
There are three selectable suspension height settings for LX570. The
'high' setting provides maximum ground clearance for off road
adventures; 'normal' is for everyday motoring and 'low' is for high
speed driving. An extra high setting is available only when in L4
mode with Crawl Control in operation. Driving stability on road is
aided by the automatic lowering of the vehicle when driving at
higher speeds. LX570 also features an easy access function to lower
the vehicle for easy entry and exit.
The LX 470 exemplifies the Lexus brand’s leadership in advanced
safety technology. The standard Lexus Navigation System integrates a
rear back-up camera that automatically projects an image of what its
lens can detect behind the vehicle onto the navigation screen when
the vehicle is in reverse gear. Bluetooth® wireless technology
allows the transfer of personal phone books to the navigation
system, from which the driver can make hands-free phone calls via
its touch-screen control panel. The driver can answer and end calls,
as well as adjust call volume, using steering wheel controls.
The interior is awash in the sort of leather and genuine woodl. At
the push of a button, the third-row seats silently fold and rise out
of the way, affording a cargo area 67 inches deep and 40 inches
wide. Enough space for all your out door gear, picnic kit and more.
The standard Mark Levinson® Premium Audio System in the LX 470 is
built around a discrete amplifier design with 240-watts continuous
average power at .01 percent total harmonic distortion (20-20,000
Hz). The 11-speaker system includes a rear-cargo-area subwoofer and
plays both audio CDs and DVDs. The optional Rear Seat Entertainment
System plays DVDs over a 6.5-inch wide-format overhead screen that
deploys from the headliner ahead of the second seat row. The option
includes two sets of wireless headphones and a remote control.
The standard security system incorporates an immobilizer into the
key card and uses a free-wheel key cylinder in the doors. This
feature protects against someone using the wrong key or trying to
break the lock by inserting a screwdriver or other tool into the
cylinder by not allowing the door to open.
