[new Lexus LX] flagship SUV that provides an elegant travel experience, priced from 12.5 million yuan

Lexus has launched the new Lexus model, the second model of the next -generation Lexus, on January 12.

LX was released in North America in 1996, and since its introduction in Japan in 2015, it has been popular as a Lexus flagship SUV that can withstand driving on all roads around the world and high quality ride comfort.As of the end of December 2021, about 50 countries and regions have sold a total of about 510,000 units.

The new LX has renewed the car's identity by adopting a new GA-F platform, reducing the weight of about 200 kg, and a high-rigidity body due to digital development.With a high -output, high -torque 3.5 -liter V6 twin turbo engine, electronic control brake system (ECB), and an electric power steering system (EPS), we pursued running performance both on -road and off -road.

The instrument panel adopts a dual display on the first 12.3 -inch and 7 -inch screens of Lexus, and has the world's first back underflow view function.In addition, a newly designed "Excute", including 4 seats independent sheets, and "off -road" equipped with default locks before and after.It realizes a proportion that combines the strength, presence suitable for flagship SUV, and sophistication.

The price is 12.5 million yen for the standard specification, 18 million yen for excitive, and 12.9 million yen off -road.

◆ New GA-F platform is used for the first time in Lexus, 200kg lighter

The new LX adopted the new GA-F platform for the first time, and renewed the traditional ladder frame. By utilizing the latest welding technologies, the frame is highly rigid (compared to the conventional compared to the conventional) and a lightweight frame, ensuring excellent collision safety performance, and improving the quality of quietness and running. As for the body, the recruitment of high -tension steel plates is expanded, hood, roof, and all door panels are aluminum, and the powertrain is mounted 70mm behind the vehicle and 28mm down. Thus, the vehicle weight ratio with the conventional model has been significantly reduced, low center of gravity, and improved front and rear weight distribution. In addition, a computer analysis of the body deformation behavior during the steering is performed, and the bodies rigidity is realized by reducing the twist by increasing the spot hit point, the opening area around the door, and the optimal arrangement of structural adhesive on the floor. Not only off -road performance, but also on -road steering and response, the grip of the rear, the excellent ride comfort, and the texture of Lexus -like running.

In order to balance off -road running and on -road maneuvering stability at a high level, the front uses a high -mounted double washbone -type suspension to optimize the suspension geometry and coil spring.Both excellent vehicle stability and ride comfort.In addition, the suspension stroke secures a sufficient length of a rebound conventional type + 15 mm, achieving excellent road surface followability and bad road running performance.The rear is inherited from the current model, creating a suspension arm, shock absorber arrangement and characteristics, and making it easier to control the axle movement, while inheriting the reliable trailing link axle axle.Both ride comfort.The rebound stroke is 20mm compared to the conventional model, ensuring excellent road tracking.

◆ Powertrain that realizes seamless acceleration

The 3.5-liter V6 Twinter Boy Gasoline Engine (V35A-FTS) has a significant improvement in both output and torque due to turbo while downsizing from the V8 natural intake engine, producing a maximum output of 415ps and a maximum torque of 650 nm. The adoption of the D-4ST with multi-hole direct injection injector and the long stroke, high-speed combustion and high-efficiency twin turbo create a powerful low-speed torque and excellent supercharge response. In addition, an electric west gate valve, which controls the opening and closing of the west gate valve with an electric actuator, was adopted. Precision control of the supercharging pressure is possible, improving supercharging response, output, fuel efficiency, and exhaust performance. At the time of light load, opening a west gate valve reduces pumping loss and reduces residual gases, contributing to low fuel consumption. At the time of acceleration or at high load, the acceleration response is improved by elaborately controlling the opening and closing of the waist gate valve.

The automatic transmission is activated almost all over the area except when starting, achieving a direct feeling.At the same time, the 10 -speedization has realized the cross -step crossing and the gearsio wide range, and the rhythmic, comfortable rhythm, high -speed fuel consumption improvement, and the development acceleration and off -road performance are also performed at the same time.If the oil level drops significantly due to an excessive slope, an oil -level sensor that notifies the driver by the warning lighting is adopted.Ensure the oil supply performance up to 45 degrees to the right and left and right body.

◆ Pursuing on -road vehicle control and excellent ride comfort

The AHC (active height control suspension), which can adjust the vehicle height according to the usage environment, is expanding the selected vehicle height.In the conventional model, the time required for adjustment of the vehicle height is reduced by equipping the spring rate switch switching device that was installed only on the front wheels.The vehicle height position is based on the three types of normal/high 1/high 2 and the low at the time of getting on and off, and automatically adjusts the optimal vehicle height according to the choice of drive mode select, multi -tele -inselect, and transfers.

AVS (electronic control suspension) has been changed to a linear solenoid valve method to achieve excellent response to damaging power switching.Provides detailed and smooth control depending on the road surface and driving condition.When overcoming steps in the city, the damping force is set low to ensure a flat sense of stability by increasing the damping force during the steering operation.

The new LX uses an electric power steering wheel (EPS) using a new motor + deceleration machine from the conventional hydraulic power steering system.It enables detailed tuning, provides a sense of security that the car responds to the linear, and a comfortable driving that does not feel that it is a large body.In addition, an electronic control brake system that allows more linear braking properties to be obtained by detecting the operation amount of the brake pedal with the sensor and creating the optimal braking force with the hydraulic brake.If you select a multi -tele -inselette off -road, the driver will ensure high driving stability and provide a sense of security to the driver by the delicate brake control of slip and spinning tires.

In addition, pursuing quietness suitable for flagship SUVs.Acoustic glass is used for 5.76mm front door glass, windshield glass, and rearado glass, which is the lowest Lexus, to improve quietness and a dash outter silencer with heat -shielding performance in the engine room.Furthermore, the soundproofing of the right person in the right place through the entire vehicle, such as placing sound absorbing materials on the back of the instrument panel, was to reduce road noise and engine noise.

◆ Runability evolved with advanced technology

In the new LX, multi -tele -inselect, which can select off -road driving support according to the road surface, has evolved.In addition to the conventional brake hydraulic pressure, the driving force and suspension are integrated and optimized according to the selected mode.In addition, the range of operating range, which was only in low range (L4), has been expanded to high -range (H4).Realizes easy and high -quality driving on any road, from extremely low -speed driving on rock roads to high -speed driving on unpaved roads.In addition, the first Lexus is adopted an auto mode that optimizes brake hydraulic, driving force, and suspension control, estimating the road surface condition running from the information of various sensors.The driver can bring out the running performance according to the driving scene without switching the mode himself.

The crawl control that assists off -road driving automatically controls the driving force and brake hydraulic in accordance with the speed setting of 5 levels.When driving on a sliding road with intense unevenness or sliding roads, you can run at an extremely low speed only with the steering operation.The downhill assist control automatically controls four brake hydraulic pressure when descending on a steep steep streak that can not slow down with the engine brake alone.Support stable hills without locking tire.

The first Lexus dual display is used for the instrument panel for the first two screens.The top displays navigation and audio screens on a 12.3 -inch touch display, and becomes a multi -tele -in monitor when driving off -road.The lower 7 -inch touch display displays air -conditioning control screen and running screen, such as multi -tele -inselect and drive mode select.While displaying the camera image on the upper screen and displaying the vehicle state at the same time in real time at the bottom, it is possible to grasp the status of off -road driving without switching the screen display.

The multi -tele -in monitor switches the image captured by a camera mounted on the front side, left and right and rear with a camera switch, and reflects the video around the vehicle on the entire 12.3 -inch display with a clearer movement, making it a driver's blind spot.You can check the road conditions around the vehicle that is easy.Also, if you switch to an underflow debut, you will be able to confirm the state under the vehicle and the front wheel position by providing past images taken in the foreground as a transparent image under the floor, and synthesizing the lines showing the current vehicle and tire position.。In addition, a new view is added to transmit the vehicle, close up the area around the rear wheels and display it large.You can grasp the situation near the tire and the sense of distance from the obstacle, and demonstrate the power to escape from stacks and dead ends.

By synthesizing past images taken in front of you, the world's first recruitment, which simulates the vehicle and displays the vicinity of the rear wheel, is the positional relationship with the obstacle behind the vehicle.Support for understanding and confirmation of rear wheels and road surfaces.It contributes to the runnerability of forest roads, mogul roads, rock roads, etc.

◆ Proposal according to the next -generation design language

The design keyword is "DIGNIFIED SOPHISTICATION", aiming for a high -quality and sophisticated proportion aimed at overwhelming presence, taking into account the running performance as a full -fledged off -loader.

It is a cabback word design that pulls the front pillar behind the vehicle, and adopts a 22 -inch tire, which is the largest Lexus for a bold body.Dynamic and smart expression.In addition, while developing a new platform, it has inherited the wheel -based golden ratio of 2850 mm and anti -ground disorders cultivated from the running performance of successive models.

In the front face, as an expression of a new spindle grill, a three -dimensional shape was created in the seven pairs of floating bars, making it a seamless configuration without a frame.By adjusting the thickness of each bar in millimeters in millimeter units, the design and the high cooling performance associated with the twin -turbo engine are balanced.In addition, the side radiator grill has a large opening of the opening, has a high rectification effect, and has a lx -like design rooted in the function.The headlamp has evolved an L -shaped clearance lamp (with daytime running lamp function) into a three -dimensional shape.Furthermore, by duplicating the inner lens and providing a different step to each, it is given a change in depth and the viewing angle.

The side is a bone that starts from the front and penetrates the horizontal axis torso to the rear, and expresses a strong sense of unity with the quarter pillar squeezed from the roof to the back window, and the flow of the under rising from the lower end of the locker to the rear tire.ing.The brand mark located in the center of the rear has been renewed from a conventional L -shaped logo to a new lexus logo.The rearcomposition lamp also uses a tail lamp that combines an L -shaped shape and one letter to the flow of the axis from the front to the shoulder, and the rheering axis continuously in the rear silhouette.

In addition, a 22 -inch forged aluminum wheel, which emphasizes the maximum diameter of Lexus in the high contrast between black and cutting glory, is newly set.The high -bright paint expresses a deep three -dimensional effect, and has a presence suitable for the vehicle.

◆ Cockpit that creates deeper dialogue between drivers and cars

The interior incorporated a new cockpit philosophy, Tazuna Concept, which allows cars and drivers to be more intuitive and concentrate on driving operations.By placing a running information display system that connects to a head -up display and a meter from the front road, and the 12.3 -inch touch display is a navigation screen, a smooth gaze movement while driving is realized.

Driving switches, such as multi -tele -inselect, are placed in the center cluster that is easy to reach, and the switches such as climbing controls are functionally organized from the viewpoint of human engineering and are located under a 7 -inch touch display.In addition, the intuitive operability is also considered by changing the operation method and shape of dials, toogles, and pushes.Thus, even when driving off -road, the driver's pressing mistakes are reduced, and the driving mode selection and temperature control are supported according to their intentions.

In order to provide a comfortable space that can be concentrated on driving, the instrumental panel is made to make the instrument panel thin, and the upper row has a stronger horizontal tone and a sense of spread by overhanging the air conditioner outlet to the left and right.In the lower row, the model is connected from the instrument panel lore to the left and right door assist grip, providing a sense of security that wraps the crew.

The front seat uses a highly distributed material for the cushion pad to provide excellent holdability and comfortable ride comfort.By optimizing the hardness distribution, the waist rolls down and reduces the inclination of the upper body to ensure holding in a low G area.The second seat has been enhanced by maintaining the getting on and off, but optimizing the side support height and cushioning.The third row seat with a seven -seater specification enables electric reclining so that the luggage space can be adjusted.

The seat arrangement adopts the first Lexus "multi -seat auto arrangement".By operating the auto arrangement switch in the luggage compartment, all seats including the front seat move, creating a vast luggage compartment, and pressing the switch on the second seat shoulder to fold the second seat by electricity.We have set up a "walk -in mechanism" to make it easier to get on and off the third seat (7 -seater specifications).

◆ 4 -seater "Excute" and "off -road" with excellent on bad road running performance

In addition to standard specifications in order to meet various diversifying needs, "Excute", which is a four -seater specification that focuses on expanding and relaxing rear seat space, and "off -road" that enhances bad road running properties.Was a new set.
