THE answer to the question: “does size matter?” seems to be slowly going in the direction of yes, it matters.
BMW’s new 4-series and the X7 set tongues wagging when they made their debut, and the Bavaria fan boys called it ugly.
But now, the huge grille has taken over many luxury brands’ flagship vehicles.
This as the second model of the next generation of Lexus following the NX, Japanese luxury automaker was launched.
The new LX is scheduled to go on sale in Mzansi in the first quarter of 2022.
Since its establishment in 1989, Lexus has always been committed to the spirit of innovation and has continued to take up the challenge of providing new technologies and value to its customers.
Since its launch in 1996, the LX has been well-received as Lexus’ flagship SUV due to its high-quality, ride comfort and driving performance that can withstand all kinds of roads around the world.
This has been achieved by refining the founding concepts of the LX, which are reliability, durability and rough-road driving performance.
It has sold a cumulative total of about 500 000 units in more than 50 countries and regions as of the end of August 2021.
The new LX will be available with a high-output, high-torque 3.5L V6 twin-turbo petrol engine and a powerful 3.3L V6 diesel twin-turbo engine.
Electronically controlled brakes and an electric power steering system are also adopted to ensure that customers can enjoy Lexus-unique driving performance to the fullest, both on and off-road.
In harsh off-road environments, to promote a safer and more comfortable driving experience, the instrument panel features Lexus’ first dual display with a 12,3-inch upper screen and 7-inch lower screen, as well as back underfloor view, which displays the area beneath the rear part of the vehicle as a world first.
New 22-inch forged alloy wheels employ the high contrast of black and machined brilliance to emphasise that they are the largest ever offered by Lexus.
