Year to Year Changes
1999 Lexus LX 470:
Only one change was noted for 1999: addition of a premium Nakamichi audio system to the factory's options list.
2000 Lexus LX 470:
A Vehicle Stability Control antiskid system became standard this year, incorporating Lexus's new Brake Assist feature. That system automatically supplied full hydraulic pressure in response to quick, strong brake-pedal movement. Exterior running boards now were illuminated. Formerly optional, a power sunroof joined the standard-equipment list, while a leather-and-wood steering wheel became optional.
2001 Lexus LX 470:
New for 2001 was a 9-speaker Mark Levinson sound system, and the LX's first optional navigation system. Newly standard were a leather/wood steering wheel (optional before), second-row child-seat anchorages, dual rear cupholders, and revised keys and locks.
2002 Lexus LX 470:
A navigation system was standard instead of optional on Lexus's full-size SUV for '02. The navigation system got revisions including multiroute calculation, simplified graphics, and route preview, along with a faster computer and the ability to play DVD movies on its dashboard screen.
2003 Lexus LX 470:
Standard side airbags, a new 5-speed transmission, and a newly available night-vision system highlight 2003 for Lexus's senior SUV. The V8 engine also got an additional 5 horsepower.
2004 Lexus LX 470:
A new rearview camera is the only major addition to the LX 470 in 2004.
2005 Lexus LX 470:
LX 470 continues on unchanged in 2005.
2006 Lexus LX 470:
No changes for the LX 470 in 2006.
2007 Lexus LX 470:
LX 470 carries over unchanged in anticipation of a model-year 2008 redesign.
