Vehicle Highlights
Lexus's flagship SUV is basically a retrimmed Land Cruiser from parent-company Toyota. The only powertrain teams a 268-hp V8 with a 5-speed automatic transmission. All-wheel drive with low-range gearing is standard, as is ABS and traction/antiskid control. LX seats eight. Front side airbags are standard, as are curtain side airbags that cover the first two seating rows. LX also comes with driver-adjustable shock absorbers and ride-height controls. A navigation system with rearview camera and wireless cell phone link are standard. DVD entertainment is optional. So is Lexus's Night View system, which projects onto the windshield a black-and-white image of objects beyond headlight range. LX 470's performance and accommodations mirror those of the Land Cruiser.
