LEXUS REVEALS ALL-NEW LX 570
Lexus has unveiled its all-new LX 570 luxury off-roader which is due to arrive in Australia in the first quarter of 2008.
The third-generation LX will feature new safety |
features, driving aides and significantly increased performance over the previous generation LX.
New LX 570 will have 10 airbags as standard, with the addition of driver and front-passenger knee airbags, second-row seat-mounted side airbags and third-row curtains.
It will be the first Lexus vehicle to offer a new Wide-view Front and Side Monitor system.
|
The monitor allows the driver to identify potential objects that may be obscured from view by providing a clear view of the front and passenger side of the vehicle.
Lexus' new Crawl Control system helps the driver to concentrate on maneuvering over rough or difficult surfaces at low speeds.
Complemented by Four-wheel Electro-Hydraulic Suspension with Adaptive Variable Suspension and Active Height Control (AHC), the system delivers a greater range of adjustment than the previous-generation LX. |

Active Height Control ensures that there is always a tire in contact with the road surface - resulting in a substantial reduction in body roll.
The three systems work together to ensure that the vehicle negotiates the roughest terrain with ease.
LX 570 will also feature a 5.7-litre V8 engine, which is expected to produce 270kW of power - |
|
|
approximately 100kW more than the existing LX 470.
LX 570 has all-new multi-terrain ABS to help reduce stopping distances on slippery surfaces such as sand or gravel.
Lexus chief executive John Roca says LX 570 will offer the greatest luxury off-road experience.
"All-new LX 570 has been designed to offer off-road capabilities that are second-to-none, combined with all the comfort and convenience that Lexus is renowned for," Mr Roca says.
"It features more safety, technological and driver assistance features than ever before |
- highlighted by its sophisticated suspension package and powerful engine.
"LX 570 takes the luxury four-wheel-drive proposition and elevates it, setting a new standard in luxury and technology for its class.
"Existing LX customers have been waiting for this vehicle and we are certain that it will meet their needs." |
