Financial ServicesLX Performance Features
5.7-liter V8 Engine
You have the power of a 5.7-liter, 383-horsepower [1] V8 engine featuring dual Variable Valve Timing with intelligence (VVT-i) for impressive performance.
Full-Time 4WD with TORSEN® Limited-Slip Center Differential
The TORSEN® limited-slip center differential [2] quickly distributes engine power between the front and rear axles, which provides improved traction.
Hill-start Assist Control (HAC)
When stopped on an incline, Hill-start Assist Control (HAC) [3] helps prevent the LX from rolling backward when you step off the brake to accelerate.
Six-Speed Sequential-Shift Automatic Transmission
Improve acceleration and fuel efficiency with six forward gears and Electronically Controlled Transmission (ECT). A sequential-shift feature allows you to select gears with the feel of a manual transmission.
Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS) with Active Height Control (X-AHC)
This advanced suspension system automatically raises and lowers the LX to an optimal aerodynamic position. This allows each wheel to react to the road surface and adjust ride comfort to your preference, regardless of speed or terrain.
Variable Gear-Ratio Steering (VGRS)
Variable Gear-Ratio Steering (VGRS) automatically modifies the gear ratio between the steering wheel and the front tires, adjusting the number of rotations required to turn. At slower speeds, steering is more sensitive, requiring just a slight turn to maneuver the vehicle. At higher speeds, VGRS offers enhanced control.
7,000-lb Towing Capacity
Take along your favorite pastime with the LX's aggressive 7,000-pound towing capacity* [4] [5].
* Lexus towing equipment (trailer ball) also available.
Crawl Control
Conquer the toughest terrain by activating Crawl Control [6]. While driving over rocky terrain, this system carefully controls vehicle acceleration and braking at low speeds, allowing you to focus on maneuvering the LX.
