This luxury SUV is newly styled for 2003, and comes with
enticing new options. One of these is Lexus's Night View
system, which uses a unique night-vision camera and light
sensors to project an image on the windscreen, showing the
driver what lies ahead. Fast, roomy, and easy to handle,
the 2003 Lexus LX 470 is also as feature-loaded as any Lexus
vehicle on the road.
Available Models
The 2003 Lexus LX 470 is available in one 4-door wagon model,
and comes with 5-speed automatic transmission. This truck-size
SUV holds three rows of seats, and can accommodate eight
passengers.
Interior Features
In the 2003 Lexus LX 470, both the second and third rows
of seats are split and fold down, providing a copious amount
of cargo room. Standard interior features include a DVD
player, steering wheel audio controls, and separate rear
audio controls. There is also an AM/FM/cassette 6-disc CD
changer, power steering, cruise control, and air conditioning
with climate controls in both the front and the rear of
the vehicle. This SUV is trimmed with wood, and furnished
with leather upholstery. Its steering wheel is also wrapped
with leather, while its front bucket seats are heated and
power-controlled, and equipped with lumbar adjustment on
the driver side. There is a compass, a trip computer, and
an outside temperature display.
An option that is sure to be popular is the rear-seat DVD
entertainment system. A navigation system with voice control
is also an option on the 2003 Lexus LX 470.
Exterior Features
Rain-sensing wipers are a standard feature on the 2003 Lexus
LX 470, as are 18-inch alloy wheels, running boards, and
rear privacy glass. A power sunroof is also standard. Options
on this SUV include a roof rack, and a rear spoiler.
Performance
The engine inside the Lexus LX 470 is a 4.7-litre V8, which
produces 235 hp at 4800 rpm, and 320 lbs-ft of torque at
3400 rpm. This SUV performs exceptionally in all conditions,
thanks to its all-wheel drive system with low-range gearing,
limited-slip center differential, and limited-slip rear
differential. Its Adaptive Variable Suspension system provides
driver-adjustable shock absorbers and ride height, enhancing
an already smooth ride.
Safety and Security
Safety reaches new heights with the night-vision system
now available on the 2003 Lexus LX 470. An anti-skid/traction
control is a standard safety feature on this SUV, as are
anti-lock 4-wheel disc brakes, front torso airbags, and
first and second row curtain side airbags. Other safety
features include brake assist, and daytime running lights.
A theft-deterrent system is included with purchase of the
Lexus LX 470.
