General roads / expressways Highlights / places of concern
(The interview team that verified the off-road performance in the first part. The second part took the Shin Tomei Expressway and proceeded to the west)
newLexus LXOnly generates a maximum torque of 66.3kg-m and does not make you aware of the vehicle weight exceeding 2.5t.
Controllability in the extremely low speed range has been confirmed in the off-road section, but the relaxed strength does not decline even in the high speed range.
The maneuvering characteristics are set with the highest priority on stability. The agility and accuracy are low, and it can be said that it is dull, but it is the miso that has both stability and controllability at a high level.
The roll is deep, but the suspension stroke speed is suppressed and the swing back is very slight. The turning reaction to the rudder is also gentle, and the change in the line due to acceleration / deceleration is the same.
It feels like the front wheels are doing the work, but there is no unexpected reaction and it is easy to handle and the sense of security is extremely high. The highlight is that you can operate it without being too conscious of its size and weight.
The ride is also gentle.
As mentioned above, it is not a “fluffy” type because it is effective in suppressing the suspension stroke speed, but it suppresses the stimulus while leaving a moderate road surface feeling.
It is a good balance between the fried taste and the setting. However, in the rear seats with 22-inch wheels, I was worried about the feeling of rocking around the rear suspension, which made me aware of the unsprung weight. Although it is considerably suppressed in similar chassis, it may feel strange if you are accustomed to the riding taste of passenger cars.
About the interior What about the second row seats?
The total length of the car body is 10 cm longer than the long specification of RX, which is the largest in SUV. Of course, the cabin space is also one of the largest, but it’s just a story compared to a full-scale black-and-white car.
Large engine and wheels, rudder frame and tough drivetrain. Space efficiency is low for passenger cars in general.
If you put up to 3 rows of seats there, the comfort of the second seat will not be so relaxed.
Two-row (5 seats) and three-row (7 seats) seats are available for standard cars and off-road, and only two-row seats with four seats are available for the highest-ranking executives.
The rear seats of the executives are equipped with electric reclining and electric massage functions, and the passenger seats are equipped with an enlarged front slide and an ottoman on the back of the backrest.
However, both the 2nd and 3rd row seats do not have a slide function in the rear seats (second), so it is not enough to relax with 4 people like a limousine.
LX standing position in terms of price difference
It’s a delicate distribution that is hard to say whether it’s wide or narrow, but the interior is set up in a calm atmosphere with less flashiness.
The seat that fits well even in an upright sitting posture is good for enjoying the scenery from the car window. The interior is comfortable for outdoor hobbies.
The new LX is set at 12.5 million yen for the cheapest standard car, 12.9 million yen for off-road vehicles, and 18 million yen for the highest-class executives.
By the way, the RX450hL costs 7.96 million yen, and the LS500h executive costs 16.9 million to 17.92 million yen.
On the other hand, the basic chassis and body shell are shared.Land cruiserGasoline cars range from 5.1 million yen for the GX to 7.7 million yen for the GR sports.
Even if the OP tenco is primed for VX and GR sports, it does not reach the standard car of Lexus LX.
