All-New 2010 Lexus RX Photos

As is typical these days, photos of new models always seem to show up somewhere before the car is officially unveiled. Well this time we have our first look at the all-new 2010 Lexus RX 350 and RX 450h before its official unveiling at the LA Auto Show next month.

These photos scanned from a Japanese brochure show what lies in store for Lexus' most popular SUV. The 2010 RX is going to keep its same basic shape but with some new creases and angles to keep it looking fresh. Inside there is a new dash that is more stylish than the current gen.

It's been rumored that the new RX is going to grow in size to accommodate a new third row seat, but we'll have to wait until next month to find out.

2010 Lexus RX 450h and RX 350

At the Lexus stand during the LA Auto Show today two new RX cars were unveiled. The first is an all-new RX 350, the second a new RX 450h, the latter being a hybrid as denoted by the “h”. RX 350 comes with a 3.5-liter V6 gas engine producing 275hp, up from 270hp in the current car. It’s mated to a sequential 6-speed ‘box in both FWD and AWD, with the latter featuring Active Torque Control AWD system which optimizes torque for all driving conditions.

2010 Lexus SC

The Lexus SC was first launched by the luxury division of Toyota in 1991. But if there was nothing impressive about the design back then, all changed with the launch of the second generation in 2002. But this is still not enough. If Lexus wants to still be important on the personal luxury coupe class they need to do something about it. And they will with the launch of the third generation SC in 2009.

2009 Lexus LX 570

Lexus introduced the all-new, more powerful, more capable and more luxurious LX 570 premium luxury utility vehicle for 2008. A new optional Luxury Package and other enhancements for 2009 help keep this luxurious eight-passenger model at the top of its segment.

2009 Lexus LX 570: Luxury utility vehicle offering an even more luxurious look and feel inside

New semi-aniline leather-trimmed seating and Bubinga wood trim give the LX 570 an even more luxurious look and feel inside. A new cool box for beverages adds convenience, and a new SmartCard key enhances vehicle security. Elegant exterior design is accented for 2009 with new liquid graphite finish for the standard 20-inch wheels and a new exterior color, Costa Azul Mica.

Engine/Transmission/Drivetrain/Performance
The LX 570's 5.7-liter V8 delivers the punch and towing power demanded in this segment. The new, high-tech powerplant produces 383 horsepower at 5,600 rpm and peak torque of 403 lb.-ft at 3,600 rpm. Crucial to LX customers who tow with their vehicles, 90 percent of peak torque is available at just 2,200 RPM.

The V8's advanced Dual Variable Valve Timing with intelligence (VVT-i) system controls valve timing and overlap on both the intake and exhaust valves, which helps to optimize power, fuel efficiency and emissions. The Acoustic Control Induction System (ACIS) switches the length of the intake tract in two stages, based on RPM and throttle angle, to improve torque across the engine speed range. Tubular stainless steel headers flow into a full stainless steel exhaust system.

The LX 570's six-speed automatic transmission is designed to handle high torque while performing with Lexus quietness and smoothness. The electronically-controlled transmission's control unit estimates road conditions and predicts the driver's intention to select the appropriate gear ratio for the vehicle's speed and the driving conditions. A sequential shift mode allows the driver to select gears manually. Even at very low speeds, such as trail driving, the transmission operates smoothly and imperceptibly.

The LX 570's transfer case provides full-time four-wheel drive that is equally adept at handling the rigors of slippery winter weather or deep mud or snow. A 2.618:1 low-range ratio is available for challenging driving surfaces. The system uses a TORSEN® limited-slip locking center differential to distribute power 40:60 front-to-rear, directing more power to the wheels with the best grip should slippage occur. Four-wheel Active Traction Control (A-TRAC) employs both brake and throttle intervention to help control wheel spin. Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) helps maintain directional control during cornering and can be disengaged via the “Trac off” switch.

The Crawl Control feature provides improved throttle modulation when maneuvering over rough, uneven or difficult surfaces. When the transmission is shifted into low range, Crawl Control regulates engine speed and output, along with braking force, to propel the vehicle forward or in reverse at one of three low-speed settings. Crawl Control also actuates a set of virtual locking differentials to help reduce tire slippage and optimize chassis behavior.

Without canceling Crawl Control mode, the driver can reduce vehicle speed by braking or adjust the crawling speed with a selector switch. Hill-start Assist Control (HAC) provides additional control for off-road driving by helping to keep the vehicle from rolling back while starting on a steep incline or slippery surface.

Chassis/Body/Suspension/Tires/Brakes
The LX 570's highly capable chassis is equipped with an advanced suspension system. Body-on-frame construction provides ruggedness and durability in extreme driving conditions, plus impressive towing capability and ride isolation characteristics. Towing capacity is 8,500 pounds. An electro-hydraulic system with four-wheel Active Height Control (AHC) and Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS) reacts more quickly and allows for a greater range of adjustment than the system used in the previous LX model.

Applying advanced computer aided engineering and lightweight components, engineers developed an all-new frame structure that uses lightweight, high-strength steel. Deeper, wider frame longitudinal members help to provide enhanced safety. The new frame was tested over some of the worst roads in Australia, plus desert areas of the U.S. and other parts of the world in conditions where other SUVs could not go. The body utilizes welded high-strength sheet steel, especially in the A-, B-, C- and D-pillars and in the rocker area to reduce weight and increase rigidity.

2010 Lexus RX 350 & RX 450h debut in USA

Lexus unveiled the all-new 2010 RX 350 and RX 450h hybrid at the 2008 Los Angeles Auto Show. The RX supposedly pioneered the car-based luxury SUV segment when it launched in 1998 for he American market. The new model continues that old formula almost exactly.

The 2010 Lexus RX 350 will be powered by an improved 275 hp 3.5-litre V6 engine mated to a sequential-shift 6-speed automatic gearbox. The all-wheel-drive version will feature an Active Torque Control AWD system that optimizes torque depending on driving conditions, resulting in improved efficiency and performance. The Americans also get a front-wheel-drive basic version.

The 2010 Lexus RX 450h is powered by a 295 hp hybrid 3.5-litre V6, and features a front-wheel hybrid drive or an electronically driven, part-time all-wheel-drive hybrid drive system, which supplies the rear wheels with the optimal amount of torque as conditions demand. Unlike mechanical AWD systems that reduce fuel efficiency via added weight and friction, the RX 450h’s rear-mounted electric motor-generator allows all four wheels to perform regenerative braking, charging the hybrid battery more effectively.

Both RX models feature a redesigned double-wishbone rear suspension. The new design allows for five percent more cargo volume and easier loading. The front McPherson strut suspension geometry was optimized. We believe it continues to be comfort-biased.

The five-seater RX models possess a number of Lexus-first technologies, such as an available hard-disk navigation system with an all-new “Remote Touch” controller. Positioned on the centre console, Remote Touch is used as a computer mouse. While RX will feature voice recognition as standard, the new navigation system will also include a new casual language voice-recognition system that acknowledges conversational commands. Standard XM® satellite-radio capability as well as XM NavTraffic and new NavWeather features are available.

Standard 18-inch aluminium-alloy wheels are an inch larger than before, with optional 19-inch aluminium-alloy wheels available. The RX 450h hybrid will have its own unique styling features, including an exclusive grille, hybrid badging including blue-trimmed Lexus logos, unique front bumper, a special 19-inch optional wheel design, blue-tinted headlamps and tail-lights, and optional LED headlights.

The new RX is available with a selection of luxury and sport option packages, which include features like Lexus’ exclusive Mark Levinson® Surround Sound system, a dual-screen rear-seat entertainment system, dynamic radar cruise control, and a Sports Package featuring a sport-tuned suspension. Also offered is a wide-angle side view monitor with a camera located under the passenger side-view mirror.

Safety features include the Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management (VDIM) system that integrates Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), ABS, Hill Assist Control and Traction Control. The available Pre-Collision System (PCS) relies on millimeter-wave radar technology to recognize a possible frontal collision and primes the brake assist and retracts the driver’s and front passenger’s seat-belt in anticipation of the crash. An intelligent Adaptive Front-lighting System (AFS) is available with HID headlights. An optional new automatic high-beam system detects light from oncoming vehicles, preceding vehicles or ambient sources and automatically switches from high to low beams. Passive safety features include a class-leading 10 standard airbags and front-seat active headrests.

The all-new 2010 Lexus RX will go on sale next February in the United States, while the GCC-spec version will hit Dubai streets later in the year, most likely after the summer.

2010 Lexus RX 350 launched in UAE

It would seem the Lexus has launched their girly new SUV in Dubai, the 2010 RX350, and did not even tell us. While us being kept in the dark for various products is only getting worse, I heard elsewhere that they plan to target this one towards women, so any men out there who thought about buying an RX — you’ve been warned.

The new GCC-spec 2010 model, launched in March 2009 in the UAE, is powered by a 275 hp 3.5-litre V6, mated to a 6-speed automatic and all-wheel-drive. It can seat five, has 10 standard airbags, and comes with a variety of electronic nannies to keep you from enjoying the drive. To see more photos, see our earlier report on the RX350.

2010 Lexus RX 450h and RX 350

At the Lexus stand during the LA Auto Show today two new RX cars were unveiled. The first is an all-new RX 350, the second a new RX 450h, the latter being a hybrid as denoted by the “h”. RX 350 comes with a 3.5-liter V6 gas engine producing 275hp, up from 270hp in the current car. It’s mated to a sequential 6-speed ‘box in both FWD and AWD, with the latter featuring Active Torque Control AWD system which optimizes torque for all driving conditions.
For the RX 450h powertrain is very different. Being a hybrid it also uses the 3.5-liter V6 gas engine which runs on the Atkinson cycle with a new inverter for a system power output of 295hp. Twenty seven more horsepower than the previous/current model, plus more efficient. These efficient gains are as a result of, among other innovations, exhaust-heat recovery system that reduces engine warm-up time and an exhaust-gas recirculation setup that lessens engine pumping losses.

The RX 450h’s hybrid system allows for regenerative braking to charge the battery better, for longer running times. 4WD is not permanent; it only kicks in when needed. The rest of the time, which is normal driving conditions, the car is in FWD mode. First-for-Lexus technologies for a greater experience in the RX cars includes a Hard Disk Drive navigation system with a “Remote Touch” controller, voice recognition, XM satellite radio and other cool gadgetry stuff. A class-leading 10 airbags form part of the safety package, so does wide-angle side view monitor and rear-view camera for a bump-free reverse session.

2010 Lexus RX 450 Hybrid Review

2010 Lexus RX 450 Hybrid Review
Lexus has done a slick redesign on the RX crossover utility vehicles for 2010. The 2010 Lexus RX 450 Hybrid is the leader of the wolf pack. The previous RX models really worked for Lexus and they have successfully made this line a powerhouse with the new upgrades for this year.

2010 Lexus LS 460 AWD

Lexus has previewed an all-wheel drive variant of its LS 460 Luxury Saloon at the Moscow International Motor Show.

LS 460's all-wheel drive system will use a three differential configuration, featuring a compact Torsen® Limited Slip Differential (LSD).

The Torsen® LSD system - shared with the LS 600hL - is designed to provide seamless all-wheel drive, with optimal traction and driving performance. The torque-sensing system generates limited differential torque proportional to the vehicle's drive torque. It will be set up with a front-to-rear torque split that is biased to the rear in the ratio 40:60.

Lexus chief executive John Roca said that Lexus Australia would welcome the all-wheel drive LS 460 in Australia.

"Lexus Australia is currently studying the introduction of the all-wheel drive LS 460 for Australia. If added to the local model line-up, the introduction of LS 460 AWD would coincide with launch of the vehicle in other markets in late 2009," said Roca.

"LS 460 AWD would add another model option for Lexus LS purchasers and provide us with a competitive offering to other all-wheel drive luxury sedans in LS 460's segment," said Roca.

Sliding floor mats lead to biggest Toyota, Lexus recall

Toyota (TM) is launching its biggest recall ever to prevent sliding floor mats from jamming accelerator pedals, a problem that may have killed four in the crash of a runaway Lexus.

The automaker on Tuesday warned the owners of 3.8 million late-model Toyota and Lexus vehicles to immediately remove any driver's side floor mat. Official notice will go out to owners next week.

DRIVE ON: Did Toyota wait too long to issue recall?
WHAT DO YOU THINK? Is Toyota's reputation for safety and corporate integrity overrated?

The federal government, which also issued a "safety alert" on the mats, says it has 102 reports of jammed accelerators in Toyota and Lexus models, including 13 crashes, five deaths and 17 injuries.

Four died Aug. 28 in a Lexus driven by an off-duty California Highway Patrol officer that crashed at an estimated 120 mph.

In a panicked 911 call, the doomed passengers said the accelerator was stuck and they were unable to turn off the engine. The Lexus was a dealer service loaner that may have had mats from another model.

Lexus floor mat recall announced

The Feds just released the official floor mat recall notice that affects more than 3 million Toyota and Lexus cars that could be at risk for acceleration problems. A couple of weeks ago the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration took extreme steps and announced a rare warning about the situation--telling car owners to just take the mats out until the manufacturer comes up with a plan to deal with the predicament.

Looks like Toyota is still working on a prototype mat to replace the defective ones. In the meantime, the automaker is going to send recall notices that say "take the mats out of your car."

According to the actual notice below, car owners should get that letter in the mail this month. And when Toyota comes up with a new, safe mat, a second notice will be mailed out with info on how to get replacements. So essentially the company is saying, when we figure it out, we'll let you know!

2010 Lexus ES breaks cover

2010 Lexus ES sedan have been revealed. When discussing the Lexus ES sedan, the conversation invariably moves to the Buick’s newLaCrosse and the Lincoln MKZ. It’s not surprising since for several years now, it has been the benchmark for mid-level luxury value.

If you’re in the market for a car of this caliber, then this should be noted for your consideration. Apparently, updates are minor and primarily cosmetic, with the airdam and foglights getting a new treatment, though the grille and headlights stay mostly the same. Side-mirror-mounted indicators are fitted, and the taillights get minor tweaks. Most of the rear fascia stays the same as the 2009 Lexus ES model. Inside, the Lexus ES 350 is mostly unchanged as the layout stays the same but the steering wheel shows a change in button type. It has yet to be revealed if new trim options, color combinations or electronics options would be joining the 2010 spec sheet.

2010 Lexus GS 350/460 Information

Information on the 2010 Lexus GS 350 & 460 has been announced, and as it turns out, not much has changed. The latest edition of the Lexus sports sedan sees the following changes:

• iPod/USB connectivity has been added to the standard Lexus sound system, along with streaming audio via Bluetooth & an integrated XM satellite radio receiver.
• The optional Lexus navigation system has been upgraded to the sixth generation software, which means the new Voice Command voice recognition and integrated XM NavTraffic & weather.
• The new Safety Connect/Lexus Enform telematics system is also available.
• Active Front headrests have been added.
• There are two new exterior colors: Deep Sea Mica replaces Black Sapphire Pearl and Satin Cashmere Metallic replaces Golden Almond Metallic. In addition, Parchment leather interior takes the place of Cashmere.

Information on the 2010 Lexus LS 460/460L was also released today, here’s a breakdown of the flagship design, which received a minor mid-cycle refresh this year:

• The headlamps, grille & bumper were all revised, as were the taillamps, license plate surround and exhaust diffusers.
• The side mirrors now have integrated turn signals.
• The standard 18-inch wheels have a new 10-spoke design.
• Safety Connect/Lexus Enform is now available.
• The Advanced Pre-Collision System is now an option on the LS 460L, as is the Driver Monitor System and Lane Keep Assist.
• iPod/USB connectivity is standard.
• The navigation system has been upgraded to the sixth generation software, which includes updated voice recognition. The navigation screen has also received a size-boost.
• The driver seat is equipped with a slide-away feature that aids entering and leaving the vehicle.

Lexus Supercar Confirmed for Tokyo Motor Show

Lexus has announced that “a revolutionary two-seat supercar” will be unveiled later this month at the Tokyo Motor Show—the full brief:

Two-seat supercar (world premier)

This concept vehicle epitomizes the purest form of driving exhilaration and performance. (Details to be announced at the Lexus press briefing on October 21.)

This “two-seat supercar” is, of course, the LFA—though I’m not sure why it’s still being referred to as a concept vehicle. Only two weeks left!

(The LF-Ch will also be appearing at the Tokyo Motor Show.)

2010 Lexus ES 350 Official Photos

The finalized 2010 ES has been revealed by way of the Lexus China website—let’s start off with some exterior photos:

The changes, as far as I can see:

• New front bumper and foglights
• New head lights & tail lights
• Chrome Side strip
• Rear view mirrors with integrated turn signals

On a whole, the exterior changes are minor, and with the exception of the chromed foglights, are all improvements over the current ES.

As far as the interior, the biggest change looks to be a steering wheel—which now has separate buttons rather than the single plastic layout:

Also, there are some new wood accents, with one right under the navigation screen and the other integrated with the glove box. All of these interior changes are great, especially the new steering wheel, but I spot one update I don’t care for: the center arm rest has been replaced instead of retaining the unique easy-close design.

One of the other things revealed on the Lexus China website is that the ES will indeed be offered in that country with the four-cylinder 2AZ-FE engine, which is the same engine that powered the Toyota Camry until it was updated for 2010.

2010 Lexus ES 350 Official Information

Full information and photos of the refreshed 2010 Lexus ES 350 have been released—here’s a breakdown of the changes:

• Both the front and rear lights have been revised, along with a new front bumper, new foglights, a new grille. Chrome side molding has also been added.
• The new-look Lexus side mirrors with integrated turn signals have been added.
• The standard 17” alloy wheels now have a split five-spoke design.
• There are four new colors available: Truffle Mica, Peridot Mica, Satin Cashmere Metallic and Cerulean Blue Metallic will replace Moon Shell Mica, Amber Pearl, Aquamarine Pearl, Black Sapphire Pearl and Golden Almond Metallic.
• Inside, the steering wheel controls have been revised and there is now new wood trim placed in the center console and glovebox.
• The armrest has been changed to provide easier access and more room.
• Rear seat side airbags have been added, bringing the total to ten airbags throughout the vehicle.
• Standard leather-trimmed seating is available in three colors including Parchment which replaces Cashmere. New Brown Walnut wood trim replaces Medium Brown Walnut, while the ES adds Espresso Bird’s Eye Maple trim.
• The ES will receive an updated Lexus sound system, and will be available with the upgraded 6th generation navigation system, along with iPod integration and Safety Connect & Lexus Enform telematics.

2010 Lexus ES 350 now on Lexus USA Website

The Lexus USA website has been updated to include the 2010 Lexus ES 350, with plenty of photos of the updated sedan—I especially like this image:

Available packages & pricing have also been updated, and I don’t picture it being much longer before the model is available at dealerships.

2010 Lexus ES

The 2010 Lexus ES 350 gets freshened interior and exterior styling and new features. ES is essentially a luxury version of the Toyota Camry. The sole powertrain teams a 272-hp 3.5-liter V6 engine with a 6-speed automatic transmission. Available safety features include ABS, traction control, an antiskid system, curtain side airbags, front and rear side airbags, and front knee airbags. Lexus' Pre-Collision System, which readies airbags, seatbelts, and brakes when sensors detect a skid or imminent crash is optional.
