LX Performance

Rise to the challenge of virtually every road surface with the newly refined Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS) system with Active Height Control (X-AHC). This innovative suspension system helps to continuously maintain optimal vehicle posture, despite road conditions. Because each wheel automatically reacts to unique road surfaces, AVS adjusts quickly to changes in driving conditions, maintaining your selected level of comfort.

Active Height Control automatically adjusts the vehicle's ride height to help provide optimal vehicle performance, regardless of speed or terrain. To help improve aerodynamics at higher speeds, the LX lowers 2.4 inches in front and 1.6 inches in back. For increased traction in off-road situations, the system engages once the 4WD shifts into low range, raising the vehicle 2.0 inches in front and 2.4 inches in the rear for better ground clearance. This helps control roll and pitch for added security. When Crawl Control [1] is enabled, the LX can be raised an additional three inches to prevent bottoming out in extremely rocky conditions.

When you reach the end of your drive, the vehicle automatically adjusts to its lowest position for easier entry and exit.
