First test drive of the new Lexus LX

The proprietary Multi-Terrain Select system received a new Auto mode, and the Mud, Sand, Ground, Deep Snow and Rocks modes, which are so necessary for off-road driving, remained in service. Part of the test drive route of the new Lexus LX passed along the bed of a dried up mountain river, littered not just with stones, but with real boulders. At first glance, it seems that it is simply impossible to drive here. But it turned out it was possible. True, I had to resort to the help of instructors who controlled the passage of especially difficult sections. Although, probably, the Lexus LX all-round cameras would have coped with this task themselves. It’s as if the Lexus LX has learned to bypass the laws of physics in some unimaginable way, otherwise how can one explain that a glamorous-looking SUV is capable of such tricks – in places you literally hang on a seat belt while the car confidently slides down especially steep slopes.
