Lexus PH launches refreshed LX 570 luxury SUV

November 14,2015

Lexus Launch-12Lexus Manila launches the LX 570 with a refreshed new look and features that puts the vehicle in its place as its flagship premier Luxury SUV. The Lexus LX remains to be the leading luxury SUV vehicle which combines overall luxury with true off-road capability and is now even more evident with this new model.

Lexus left barely any surface of the New LX untouched, with only the door panels being carried over from the 2015 model. The restyled front end wears an even bolder rendition of the Lexus signature spindle grille, framed by elegant satin chrome trim and complemented by distinctive new standard LED headlights, turn signals, fog lights, and cornering lamps.

Lexus Launch-11Aside from aggressive and stronger styling, an eight-speed automatic transmission replaces the former six-speed for enhanced performance and efficiency. The system also controls responses of the Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS), which continually adjusts shock absorber damping rates while driving, helping to ensure optimal comfort even as the road surface changes. Drive modes include ECO, which adjusts powertrain responses and air conditioning to prioritize fuel-efficient driving; COMFORT mode optimizes AVS damping to help deliver the smoothest ride possible; SPORT S mode dials up powertrain response and dials down power steering assist to yield a sportier driving feel, and, to that, SPORT S+ mode adds firmer damping control from AVS to prioritize handling agility. A robust body-on-frame structure gives the LX 570 the foundation to deliver a silky smooth ride on pavement, or to take a pounding off-road. A Torsen limited-slip locking center differential provides full-time four-wheel drive. The differential responds on the move to changing conditions, automatically adjusting the torque distribution as necessary. Off-road, the driver can lock the center differential for driving over challenging surface conditions.

Lexus Launch-8Lexus went dashboard-to-tailgate inside the LX 570, expanding its already lengthy list of amenities and upgrading multimedia capability, all for the purpose of pleasing its passengers. In changeable weather, the addition of ventilated middle row seats ensures consistent comfort throughout any ride. Speaking of keeping cool, the new standard Climate Concierge feature automatically monitors the temperature of the four separate climate zones and adjusts not only the fans, but also the temperature of the seats.

Lexus Launch-10The LX 570 is an ideal vehicle for getting away from it all while still staying informed, entertained and connected. The available dual screen Rear Seat Entertainment System now uses dual 11.6-inch screens in place of the former 7.0-inch screens to help captivate rear seat passengers. A new 12.3-inch display with Remote Touch Interface (RTI) heads a list of multimedia and connectivity upgrades that keep the LX 570 on the cutting edge of user tech. With the 12.3-inch screen, Navigation gains full-screen map capability. There are menu shortcut buttons on the side of the screen. The screen can be split into two sections to different functions simultaneously, such as navigation, audio and climate control information. The new Remote Touch Knob controller makes it even easier to use to operate climate control, audio, phone, navigation and more.

The LX 570 is listed at P7,648,000.
