The design of the new RX reflects a highly refined sense of hospitality, one which strives to create a warm and lasting impression on driver and passengers alike.
There is no need to search for your key to enter the RX, for example, as its unique identification code is recognised as you near your car. Touching any door handle or the tailgate release unlocks the vehicle immediately. And if you approach the RX at night, the car's lights will provide a courteous welcome by helping to illuminate your path
Remote Touch provides intuitive interaction with the new RX. Ergonomically optimised, Remote Touch enables the user to view and control many advanced vehicle systems via the LCD multi-display.
Top of the range is the 15-speaker Mark Levinson Premium Surround system, which offers exceptional fidelity and clarity. With it, passengers enjoy a perfect 7.1-channel surround sound and a home theatre experience for their favourite CDs and DVDs. This state-of-the-art system also features Hard Disc Drive (HDD) technology which can function as a sound library. This allows you to save CDs onto the car's hard disc drive and catalogue them using advanced Gracenote software.
The highly advanced Lexus Pre-Crash Safety System (PCS) can help the driver of the new RX avoid a collision. But if impact is inevitable, PCS can employ state-of-the art technologies to reduce collision damage and injury.
When fitted with the optional Pre-Crash Safety System, a millimetre-wave radar sweeps the road ahead of the RX detecting certain obstacles and continually calculates impact-risk. If a high-risk situation is detected, PCS immediately alerts the driver with a warning buzzer and a red BRAKE ! signal.
The Intelligent - Adaptive Front-lighting System (I-AFS) can automatically swivel the High Intensity Discharge (HID) bi-xenon headlights into approaching corners to significantly enhance night time visibility.
When entering a corner, I-AFS technology estimates where the RX will be in 3 seconds time - based on vehicle speed and tyre angle - and adjusts the lateral aim of the headlights accordingly. Adjusting both low and high beams, this delivers the most appropriate light distribution patterns.
Lexus Hybrid Drive combines two powerful electric motors with a smooth V6 petrol engine. Electric Vehicle mode is used whenever possible in urban traffic for near silent and emissions free progress.
As speed increases, the petrol engine seamlessly takes over. Accelerate firmly and electric power instantly supplements the V6 engine.
Active stabilisers a world first in this segment deliver even greater dynamic performance. Electrically operated front and rear anti-roll bars significantly reduce vehicle body lean when cornering, for outstanding lateral stability.
Performance is dynamic yet composed, with no compromise to ride comfort.
