Lexus Safety System+ 3.0: Comprehensive Protection

 

Every Lexus RX comes equipped with the latest iteration of the brand’s advanced safety suite, Lexus Safety System+ 3.0 (LSS+ 3.0), demonstrating the brand’s unwavering commitment to occupant protection.

 

Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection

 

This sophisticated system utilizes camera and radar technology to detect vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists in the RX path. When a potential collision is detected, the system provides audio and visual alerts and can automatically apply the brakes if the driver doesn’t respond in time. The system features enhanced detection capabilities in low-light conditions, improving safety during nighttime driving.

 

Dynamic Radar Cruise Control

 

All RX models include Dynamic Radar Cruise Control with full-speed capability. This system maintains a preset distance from the vehicle ahead by automatically adjusting the RX speed. The latest version features improved algorithms that create a more natural driving feel, with smoother acceleration and deceleration patterns that mimic human driving behaviour. The system can bring the vehicle to a complete stop in heavy traffic and resume motion when traffic flow resumes.

 

Lane Tracing Assist and Lane Departure Alert

 

The standard Lane Tracing Assist helps keep the RX centred in its lane by providing subtle steering inputs. Working in conjunction with this system, Lane Departure Alert identifies lane markings and alerts drivers when they begin to stray without signalling. If necessary, the system can provide gentle steering assistance to help prevent unintentional lane departures.

 

Road Sign Assist

 

This intelligent feature uses a camera to recognize and display road signs on the multi-information display, helping drivers stay aware of changing traffic regulations. The new model year brings improved recognition capabilities, allowing the system to identify various road signs across different regions.

 

Automatic High Beams

 

Standard across all RX models, this system detects the headlights of oncoming vehicles and taillights of preceding vehicles, automatically toggling between high and low beams to provide optimal nighttime visibility without blinding other drivers.

 

Proactive Driving Assist

 

This system provides gentle braking and steering assistance to help support driving tasks while enhancing overall safety. The system helps maintain appropriate following distances and assists with steering to help the vehicle stay in its lane.

 

Exterior Features: Refined Design Elements

 

LED Lighting System

 

All RX models feature an advanced triple-beam LED lighting system, including LED headlights with distinctive L-shaped daytime running lights that serve as a signature Lexus design element.

Every RX has a hands-free power rear door that can be activated by waving a foot under the rear bumper when the key fob is nearby. This convenient feature allows easy access to the cargo area when hands are full.

 

Rain-Sensing Windshield Wipers

 

These intelligent wipers automatically adjust their speed and frequency based on rainfall intensity, allowing drivers to focus more on the road ahead rather than adjusting controls during changing weather conditions.

 

Power-Folding Heated Outside Mirrors with Turn Signal and Blind Spot Indicators

 

All RX models include power-folding exterior mirrors with integrated turn signals for enhanced visibility to other drivers. These mirrors also feature a heating element to quickly clear fog or frost in cold weather conditions and include blind-spot warning indicators as part of the standard Blind Spot Monitor system.

A power tilt-and-slide moonroof comes standard across the RX lineup, allowing natural light to fill the cabin and fresh air when desired. The moonroof features a sliding sunshade that can be opened or closed with one-touch operation.

 

19-inch Alloy Wheels

 

While higher trims offer larger wheel options, all RX models come standard with at least 19-inch alloy wheels featuring a sophisticated design that complements the vehicle’s refined exterior styling. These wheels are aesthetically pleasing and engineered for a smooth, quiet ride.

 

Interior Comfort and Convenience

 

Premium Material Upholstery

 

The standard upholstery across all RX models is NuLuxe Lexus material. This advanced synthetic leather offers the look and feel of genuine leather while providing superior durability and easier maintenance. Lexus has introduced improved NuLuxe with enhanced breathability and a more supple texture.

 

Dual-Zone Automatic Climate Control with Dust and Pollen Filter

 

Every RX includes a sophisticated climate control system that allows the driver and front passenger to set different temperature preferences. The system consists of a dust and pollen filter that maintains excellent air quality within the cabin, which is particularly beneficial for occupants with allergies.

 

Heated Front Seats with 10-Way Power Adjustment

 

All RX models feature heated front seats with 10-way power adjustment, including lumbar support, allowing drivers and passengers of various heights and body types to find their optimal seating position. The heating function offers multiple temperature settings for personalized comfort in colder weather.

 

Power-Adjustable Steering Column

 

A power tilt-and-telescopic steering column is standard, allowing drivers to easily find their perfect driving position. The steering wheel settings can be linked to the driver’s seat memory system, automatically adjusting to the preferred position when changing drivers.

 

Smart Access System with Push-Button Start

 

The convenience of keyless entry and push-button start comes standard across the RX lineup. This smart access system detects the key fob near the vehicle, allowing drivers to unlock doors and start the engine without removing the key from their pocket or bag.

 

Multi-information Display in Instrument Cluster

 

All RX models feature a high-resolution multi-information display in the instrument cluster that provides essential vehicle information, including safety system status, navigation instructions, fuel economy data, and various vehicle settings. You can customize the display to show the information most relevant to the driver.

 

Technology and Connectivity Features

These high-speed charging ports keep devices powered during journeys and reflect attention to the evolving needs of modern drivers.

A Qi-compatible wireless charging pad comes standard, eliminating the need for cables when charging compatible smartphones. This convenient feature is in the center console for easy access.

Drive Mode Select

 

All RX models feature Drive Mode Select, allowing drivers to customize the driving experience based on conditions and preferences. The standard system offers ECO, Normal, and Sport modes, each adjusting throttle response, transmission shift points, and steering feel accordingly. Hybrid models add an EV mode for pure electric operation in suitable conditions.

 

Paddle Shifters

 

Standard paddle shifters mounted on the steering wheel give drivers manual control over gear selection when desired, adding an engaging element to the driving experience without sacrificing the convenience of an automatic transmission.

 

Advanced All-Wheel Drive

 

All RX models feature some form of all-wheel drive as standard equipment. Gasoline models utilize a sophisticated mechanical system that can distribute torque between the front and rear axles based on driving conditions, while hybrid models employ an electronic AWD system that uses a dedicated electric motor to power the rear wheels.
