Lexus released the new "LX" of the flagship SUV

LEXUS is the second next -generation LEXUS model following the new "NX", and the new "LX" of the new "LX" is shown to show the diversified user's needs and lifestyle.At the same time as the first public release in the federal, the video was released online.The release in Japan is scheduled for early 2022.

Since its founding in 1989, LEXUS has always been trying to provide new technologies and value to users.Since its launch in North America in 1996, driving on all roads around the world by refining riding comfort and quietness based on "reliability", "durability", and "rough road running performance".With a popular LEXUS flagship SUV, which can withstand exercise performance that can withstand high -quality ride, it has sold about 50,000 units in about 50 countries as of the end of August 2021.

The new LX will provide a comfortable and high -quality time to the crew in any place, and sublimate the user's life scene into a richer one.In order to ensure "reliability", "durability", and "run-on-road running performance", it maintains a traditional body-frame structure that can be said to be a tradition, and the new GA-F platform is adopted, the weight of about 200 kg, and the digital development is high.The car's identity has been renewed through the realization of a rigidity body.

Also, high -output, high torque V6 3.By installing a 5L twinter bubble gasoline engine, an electronic control brake system (ECB), and an electric power steering system (EPS), both on -road and off -road pursued driving performance so that users can enjoy LEXUS -like driving.The renewal of these identity and the adoption of new powertraines also contribute to improving environmental performance, reducing the annual CO2 emissions per vehicle by about 20 % in total of the vehicles, compared to the conventional model, carbon nuoral.Contribute to the realization of society.

For harsh off -roads, Lexus's first LEXUS is 12 to realize a more safe and comfortable driving.The dual display on the upper and lower screens of 3 inches and 7 inches is adopted, and it has the world's first back -under -free debut function.In addition to the standard specifications, in order to keep up with the various life scenes of users, "Executive", including the four independent seats to move all the ways gracefully and with peace of mind, and the front and rear deflocking.The new "Offroad" is newly set, equipped with a dedicated function and maximizes off -road performance.

In terms of design, we pursue a design that contributes to the athletic performance and functions that starts with NX, but also achieves a proportion that combines the strength and presence of flagship SUVs, and further sophistication.In addition, LEXUS's first adopted fingerprint authentication start switch contributes to reducing the stolen risk.

Renewal of car identity by adopting a new GA-F platform and reducing the weight of 200 kg

With the new LX, we have mainly reviewed the basic identity that supports the evolution of running, while maintaining a body -frame structure that can be called a traditional and high -quality operation on any road in the world.By using a new platform GA-F platform, and reviewing the skeleton of the car from scratch, it is dramatic to run by renewing from cars such as thorough low center of gravity, lighter weight, and improving body rigidity.The improvement has been realized.

The new GA-F platform was adopted for the first time, and the traditional ladder frame was renewed.By utilizing the latest welding technology, the frame is highly rigid (compared to the conventional compared to the conventional) and a lightweight frame, improving the quality of collision safety, quietness, and driving quality.As for the body, the adoption of high -tension steel plates, hood, roof, and all door panels are aluminum (the roof aluminum is the first Lexus).In addition, the powertrain mounted was moved 70 mm to the rear of the vehicle and 28mm down.Thus, the vehicle weight ratio with the conventional model has been significantly reduced, low -centered, and improved front and rear weight distribution.Combined with improving the driving position, it contributes to the driver's intention.Furthermore, weight reduction contributes to improving environmental performance.

Then, the body deformation behavior during the steering is analyzed, and the bodies rigidity is realized by reducing the twist by increasing the spot, hitting, opening around the door, and 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 driving texture of LEXUS.

In addition to the survival space of the crew, as well as the parts such as the power unit and the fuel tank, it realizes excellent robustness.Nine cross -members were optimized to optimize the side rail cross section characteristics that are likely to be stressed when driving on bad roads, and to balance the strength, rigidity, and collision safety for input from the road surface.Furthermore, by placing a high -steel sheet of a maximum of 5 mm and a high -tension steel sheet in the right place, the strain of the body is reduced to the impact of the bad road driving, reducing the effect on the stability and riding comfort.

In addition, the thick plate and a thin plate steel plate are combined by laser welding to make a significant lighter weight while maintaining strength and rigidity by using the world's first technique in the world, "curved tailored weld blank".did.This technology is used for the part of the side rail cross section and part of the cross member.

In addition, the structure of a frame vehicle that is equipped with a body via a cab mount on the frame has an impact on the frame that supports the basic driving performance of the car even if it is damaged by the body, such as when running off -road.It is less likely to be given, and even in the unlikely event that it will be the destination while ensuring the safety of the crew.

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, which is an important factor in off -road running performance, ensures a sufficient length of a rebound conventional type + 15 mm, achieving excellent road tracking and rough road running performance.

Front suspension (prototype)

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.

Rear suspension (prototype)

Mao, the rear shock absorber was placed outside the lore control arm, and the absorber mounting angle was adjusted to the running angle of the axle.It makes it easier to follow the up and down movement of the tires, enhances the decaying effect of the absorber, and achieves excellent vehicle stability that absorbs shocks and vibration from the road surface.

3.The 5L V6 Twinter Boy Gasoline Engine (V35A-FTS) generates a maximum output of 305kW (415ps) and a maximum torque of 650N · m.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 oil surface drop is detected when the oil level is significantly reduced due to an excessive inclination of the vehicle body, and 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.In addition, assuming a SUV -specific scene in a river and a multi -dust environment, a bearing and an oil seal with high waterproof and dustproof performance are used.

On -road driving performance pursuing "Lexus Driving Signature"

In order to enjoy high-quality driving even in city riding, the identity of cars such as the first LEXUS GA-F platform and the weight reduction of about 200 kg have been renewed.In addition, by installing a high -output, high -torque twin turbo engine, ECB, and EPS, it realizes a running with a sense of comfort, grounding, powerful, and sense of security, which is a seamlessly connected in all driving scenes.And "Lexus Driving Signature" was further deepened.In addition, new AHC and AVS (Adaptive Variable Suspension System) are adopted.The traditional off -road running performance and vehicle stability remain the same, but it is a frame vehicle, but also achieves high -on -road vehicle control and excellent ride comfort.

AHC, which can adjust the vehicle height according to the usage environment, is expanding the selected vehicle height position.In addition, while the mechanism to adjust the vehicle height with a shock absorber, gas and hydraulic springs and metal springs, the car is equipped with a spring rate switching device that was installed only on the front wheels in the conventional type.The time required for high adjustment has been reduced.

The vehicle height position is based on the three types of NORMAL / HI1 / HI2 and LOW at the time of getting on and off, and the most suitable vehicle height is adjusted according to the choice of drive mode selection, multi -tele -inselect, and transfers.The height of the vehicle height can be displayed not only on the meter panel but also on the 7 -inch touch display.In addition, AHC has a function to stabilize the vehicle posture at the time of turning and deceleration by optimizing the spring rate at any time by optimizing the spring rate at any time, as well as the vehicle height adjustment.

Active High Control (Prototype)

Furthermore, in collaboration with the Transfer L4 range selection and the multi -tele -in -receptive mode selection, automatically adjusted to HI1 or HI2 according to the road environment.When HI1 and HI2 are selected, they are automatically adjusted to the optimal vehicle height according to the vehicle speed, and the interference avoidance with the road surface and the pilot stability are compatible.

Then, by displaying the height status on both the center console display and the meter, it became easier to confirm.When overcoming steps in the city, the spring is soft and comfortable to get a comfortable riding, and the spring is hardened to ensure a flat sense of stability.There is also a function to automatically adjust the vehicle height when getting on and off or running.

By changing to the linear solenoid valve method, the excellent response of the damping force switching is realized, and a detailed and smooth control is provided according to 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.In addition, the damping force changes according to the drive mode, contributing to the driver's preference.

In addition to off -road driving, LEXUS's maximum size of 22 inch tires has been adopted for the first time.The lower weight of all tires, including 18 inches and 20 -inches, is reduced, and optimizes rolling resistance to contribute to improving fuel efficiency.In addition, in pursuit of the most suitable tread patterns and structures to establish stability, comfort, and quietness, using tires in addition to the environment and customers around the world, such as dry and wet roads.The pilot stability and braking performance are ensured.

Fusion of tradition and advanced technology, and polished on bad roads polished so that it can be driven with peace of mind even in harsh environments

The new LX has further evolved the reputable bad road running performance.In addition to improving hard performance such as traditional body -frame structure and rear ligid suspension, evolving software such as multi -tele -inselect and crawl control.In addition, by introducing various latest technologies that support off -road driving, such as multi -tele -in monitors and LX's first dual display, can be driven more safely in harsh environments.

A wheel -based golden ratio of 2,850 mm, which has both high on bad road running properties and spacious indoor spaces, inherited by successive LXs, has been inherited in the new model.In addition, the anti -ground disorder angle (approach angle, deposit angle, lamp break over angle), maximum stability tilt angle 44 degrees, climbing ability 45 degrees, and maximum passage performance of 700 mm maintains the same.As a full -fledged off -road vehicle, it has achieved an excellent dimension.

A multi -teleforporation that can be selected from six modes (Auto / Dirt / Sand / Mud / Deep Snow / Rock) for off -road driving support according to the road surface is also adopted in the new model.In addition to the conventional brake hydraulic pressure, the driving force and suspension are integrated and optimized according to the selected mode.It is possible to bring out the running performance according to the road surface.

In addition, the range of operating range, which was only in low range (L4), has been expanded to high -range (H4).It has evolved into a function that realizes easy and high -quality driving on any road around the world, from extremely low -speed driving on rock roads to high -speed driving on unpaved roads.In addition, LEXUS is the first LEXUS to estimate the road surface condition running from the information of various sensors and optimize brake hydraulic, driving force, and suspension control.The driver has been able to bring out the running performance according to the running scene without switching the mode himself.

The driving force and brake hydraulic pressure are automatically controlled according to the 5 -stage speed setting selected by the driver.When driving on an intense off -road or slippery road surface, drivers can run at extremely low speed only by steering operation without accelerator or brake operation.It suppresses the lock of wheel spins and wheels, has a high escape ability from the stack, and also reduces the load on the drive system.

Crawl control (prototype)

In addition, while inheriting the high -road running performance of successive LXs, the specifications for maximizing the linear brake hydraulic control by the newly adopted electronic control brake system have greatly improved the quietness.Even in off -road driving, it has evolved into a function that realizes high -quality running like LEXUS.Furthermore, even if the driver operates while the crawl control is operated, the seamless driving force and brake hydraulic control do not hinder the acceleration operation of the driver.Depending on the road surface, the accelerator can be operated when the driver wants to accelerate, assisting in off -road driving with less stress.

When descending on a steep steep streak that can not slow down with the engine brake alone, it will automatically control the four -wheeled brake hydraulic pressure and support it stably without locking the tire.Since the vehicle speed selected by the switch operation is maintained, it can focus on the steering operation without worrying about the operation of the brake and accelerator, reducing the driving load.

Lexus is used for the first time in LEXUS on the instrument panel.The top is 12.The 3 inch touch display displays navigation and audio screens, making it 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 -in -selette 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.

A system that supports the situation around the vehicle with four cameras.Switch the video captured by a camera mounted on both sides of the front and side with a camera switch, 12.The video around the vehicle on the entire 3 -inch display is projected with a clearer and smooth movement, and you can check the road conditions around the vehicle that tends to be the blind spot of the driver.

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 function that transmits the vehicle and closes around the rear wheels and displays it large.You can understand the situation near the tire and the sense of distance from the obstacle, contribute to the escape from stacks and dead ends.

Proposal according to the next -generation design language of LEXUS, which is in harmony with functionality and elegance

In the new LX, 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.The design of LX is rooted in the functional essence, and the exterior makes it feel powerful and a great appearance that is particular about the details, and the interior realizes a room space with a sense of security and relaxing for crew members.

In addition, by combining the functionality that has been cultivated so far with the car and driver intuitively connected, the cockpit philosophy "TAZUNA CONCEPT", which can be concentrated on driving operations, achieves visibility and good operability.

The front pillar is drawn to the rear of the vehicle, and in addition to the thick body of 22 -inch tires, the largest LEXUS body, it is a dynamic and smart expression.In addition, while developing a new platform, it has inherited the golden ratio of the wheel -based golden ratio and the anti -ground disorder angle cultivated from the running performance of successive models.

As an expression of a new spindle grill suitable for LX, a three -dimensional shape was created with a seven pairs of floating bars, and 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 combined.In addition, the side radiator grilling has a large opening, with a high rectification effect, and a design that is rooted in the functions.Furthermore, the headlamp has an L -shaped clearance lamp (with daytime running lamp function) into a three -dimensional shape, and the inner lens is duplicated, and a different step is provided for each.It is giving a change in.

The side expresses a strong sense of unity with the quarter pillar that pierces the horizontal axis torso to the rear, squeezed from the roof from the lower end of the locker from the lower end of the locker.。

Following the NX, the brand mark placed in the center of the rear is renewed from a conventional L -shaped logo to a new LEXUS logo and symbolizes the next generation LEXUS.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 rheis -shaped axis.It emphasizes sharp and sharp designs and expresses the consistency as LEXUS.

In order to provide a comfortable space where you can concentrate on driving, a "moderate wrapped driving space" has been realized.Specifically, a two -stage configuration is made to make the instrument panel thin, and the upper row is overhanged by overhanging the air conditioner outlet to the left and right, creating a stronger horizontal tone and a sense of spread.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.

In the front seat space, we are particular about the thickness and angle of the assist grip, and the ease of holding the posture when running off -road and the beauty that wraps the crew.In addition, soft soft pads are arranged on the shoulder and waist of the front door trim, emphasizing protection, and providing peace of mind and relaxing to passengers.

In addition, 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.
