Brochure for the 2021 GX GX 2021 Can you escape it all while still being connected to everything? Can off-road technology make paved roads more enjoyable? Can you feel at home when you’re miles away from it? 1 To craft the most amazing machines, you don’t start with machines at all. You start with people. The 2021 Lexus GX GX 460 Embrace timeless SUV strength with a contemporary front fascia; camera technology that enhances both off-road1 and on-road capabilities; a powerful 4.6-liter V8 engine; full-time four-wheel drive; an available Crawl Control2 system with five selectable speed modes; and distinctive interior trims. This is the epitome of rugged refinement. GX shown in Atomic Silver 2 3 GX shown in Starfire Pearl3 4 5 In addition to the 40/20/40-split second-row seats, the driver and front passenger enjoy 10-way power seats with lumbar adjustability. The third-row seats prove generous and convenient, as the seating folds flat into the cargo-area floor manually, or, when equipped, with the press of a button. And a tilt-and-slide second-row seat feature simplifies passenger-side access to the third row. Available heated and ventilated front seats, heated outboard second-row seats and three-zone climate control offer additional indulgence. GX shown with Ecru NuLuxe®4 and available captain’s chairs5 6 7 GX shown in Black Onyx 8 9 GX shown in Atomic Silver 10 11 GX shown in Black Onyx 12 13 DESIGN Embracing a sophisticated design all its own, the muscular GX features an imposing stance, a modern front fascia with Premium Triple-Beam LED headlamps, available 19-inch wheels and more. Feel at home in unparalleled craftsmanship, bold details and a striking balance of comfort and capability from a luxury utility vehicle that exceeds all expectations. DESIGNED TO CAPTIVATE From contemporary craftsmanship to evocative illumination, the 2021 GX leaves an unforgettable impression. GX shown in Atomic Silver 14 15 DESIGN EVOCATIVE AT EVERY GLANCE With distinctive trims and sophisticated refinements, every detail is crafted to enhance the driving experience. Every GX comes from the hands of masters. The interior leather trim is carefully selected from around the world, and only a fraction is considered worthy. The available semi-aniline leather trim, offered in a striking Rioja Red, is dyed all the way through, unlike leathers with conventional surface dyes. A higher grade of leather must also be used, since imperfections cannot be hidden. The available Gray Sapele wood trim adds another level of refinement. It marries the natural expression of fine wood with the clean sophistication of brushed aluminum by layering the juxtaposing materials—laser technology engraves the wood surface to reveal the delicate metallic lines underneath. With an intuitive, three-spoke steering wheel featuring convenient controls, plus an available three-zone climate control to personalize temperature settings, the 2021 GX provides a memorable first-class experience. 16 17 DESIGN SOUND THAT STIRS THE SENSES MARK LEVINSON®6 AUDIO While most audio systems are adapted to and installed in a vehicle after it’s produced, Mark Levinson®6 technicians work alongside Lexus engineers from the outset of the development process. That’s why the GX features a dynamic soundstage uniquely fitted to the cabin. Enabling you to hear music in its purest, highest fidelity, the system even allows listeners to experience the arrangement of individual instruments and performers, to more accurately express the artist’s original intent. The available Mark Levinson®6 Premium Surround Sound Audio System features 17 speakers and 330 watts of maximum power. The resulting audio experience immerses the cabin in multidimensional sound that was once reserved for six-figure home audio systems. 17 speaker available audio system GX shown with Sepia NuLuxe®4 and Gray Sapele wood with Aluminum interior trim 18 19 PERFORMANCE ENGINEERED TO CONQUER Remarkable capability and responsiveness make nearly every terrain yours for the taking. Experience the luxury utility vehicle that combines rally-proven off-road1 performance and responsive on-road handling, to boldly take on adventures of all kinds. With an intelligent V8 engine, a robust towing capacity7 and full-time four-wheel drive, the 2021 GX offers high strength in high style. GX shown in Starfire Pearl3 20 21 PERFORMANCE POWER. POISE. Experience peak performance on any road with a highly advanced suspension system unlike any in its class.8 Utilizing technology proven in FIA World Rally Championship competition, the Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System is designed to automatically act on the front and rear stabilizer bars to vary the degree of roll stiffness depending upon road conditions. This system not only improves on-road handling and ride comfort, it allows for greater suspension travel and articulation off-road1 so that the vehicle remains remarkably level, making all roads more enjoyable. ON - ROAD OFF-ROAD The system automatically optimizes the stabilizer bars The stabilizer bars automatically loosen in off-road to increase agility and reduce body lean, especially scenarios for greater wheel articulation while crawling while cornering. over rocks and navigating uneven terrain. 22 23 PERFORMANCE 6,500-LB TOWING CAPABILITY Engineered to accommodate almost any excursion, the GX is capable of towing up to 6,500 pounds,7 thanks to a solid body-on-frame construction and a 4.6-liter V8 with 329 lb-ft of torque9 at low engine speeds. Taking a smart approach to strength, Trailer Sway Control10 helps detect and prevent excessive trailer movement. To help reduce sway, braking is applied independently to each wheel, and the throttle is moderated to help reduce vehicle speed. For added peace of mind, a flashing indicator alerts the driver when the system is taking corrective measures. 329 lb-ft of torque GX shown in Atomic Silver 24 25 PERFORMANCE COMMAND THE CITY With a variety of on-road technologies, the 2021 GX conquers perhaps the most challenging terrain of all for utility vehicles: the city. The available Adaptive Variable Suspension system monitors and adjusts the electronically controlled shock absorber settings of each wheel according to driving conditions or personal preference. The Torsen®11 torque- sensing limited-slip center differential efficiently distributes engine power between the front and rear axles to optimize traction. And when navigating some of the most challenging city-driving scenarios, the GX also features Downhill Assist Control12 to help keep the vehicle at a slow, constant descent speed and prevent the wheels from locking up, while Hill-start Assist Control12 helps you feel secure when ascending from a stop by applying the brakes to all four wheels until the vehicle begins moving forward. GX shown in Nightfall Mica 26 27 PERFORMANCE MASTER THE POSSIBILITIES Experience next-level adventures with advanced technologies that take on nearly any road. In addition to full-time 4WD, commanding performance reaches a new peak with the available Off-Road Package. Multi-Terrain Select allows you to choose from multiple surfaces such as loose rocks, mud and sand, moguls and more to optimize drivability. And for greater visibility to match, the Multi-Terrain Monitor13 works with Multi-Terrain Select to display a variety of distinct camera views, including a convenient under-vehicle view. The 2021 GX also offers a Crawl Control2 system that features five speed modes. Activated with the simple push of a button, it helps automatically maintain an optimal slow and steady pace over challenging terrain. And to give the most avid off-road1 driver peace of mind, the package even features a transmission-oil cooler and a fuel-tank protector.

For instance, the GX features a rear window that flips open for convenient loading of smaller items. As well as third-row seats that can easily fold flat by pressing a button located in the cargo area or adjacent to the second-row seat. And, with a passenger-side second-row seat that tilts and slides forward, accessing the third row and accommodating cargo4 of all shapes and sizes is every bit as effortless as it should be.

  • Vehicles with Lowest Death Rates – Search Or Browse
    VEHICLES WITH LOWEST DEATH RATES – SEARCH OR BROWSE (Updated as of June, 2006) The following list of vehicles was compiled by Leon S. Robertson, Ph.D., author of “Injury Epidemiology” and former Senior Scientist at the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. Vehicles shown on the list are predicted to have lower-than-average annual crash death rates. The vehicles are ranked by EPA gas mileage estimates. The actual gas mileage will vary depending on where and how you drive. Fast acceleration and speed reduces gas mileage. Factors reflected in the ratings include IIHS 45-mph crash test results (http://www.iihs.org/ratings/default.aspx), vehicle weight relative to size, and vehicle stability. Vehicles that performed poorly in the IIHS tests, or were not tested, are not on the list. Some vehicles that have not been crash tested may be added to the list when they are tested, depending on the test results. If a vehicle has already been crash-tested and is not on the list, it is not considered among the safest. Dr. Robertson advises users of the list: “Note that only one pickup truck made the list, and only a few SUVs, contrary to claims by manufacturers that such vehicles are safer. I do not recommend using a pickup or SUV unless there is a compelling need for one. They usually have higher rollover propensity and disproportionately kill occupants in other vehicles and other road users because of their height, weight and associated longer braking distances.” Vehicle Make- Model Highway Model Year(s) Type Mileage Toyota Prius 2004-2006 Car 51

  • 2016 Lexus Line-Up Lexus Beginnings
    2016 LEXUS LINE-UP LEXUS BEGINNINGS A NEW IDEA IS BORN Before Lexus, cars tended to be one thing or another. Some delivered performance, but not comfort; safety, but not style. With the 1990 release of the LS 400, Lexus introduced itself as a challenger to the status quo, bringing luxury, performance, and technology together for the first time. Over the quarter-century of relentless innovation that followed, Lexus has written a story that is truly Amazing in Motion. BEGINNINGS LEXUS ‘YET’ PHILOSOPHY Opposites in harmony. This idea is the heart of the Lexus ‘Yet’ Philosophy, one of our guiding principles since we introduced the very first LS 400. It is why you are able to experience an exhilarating, powerful drive, yet with exceptional fuel efficiency. It is the epitome of luxury, yet with equally high environmental standards.
