There are no second places There is only one first place; in sport, in business and in life. It’s the same on the road. We all remember who was first with a particular design innovation or luxury addition. So when the RX blazed a new trail in the late nineties, immersing a compact SUV in luxury and refinement, the motoring world sat up and took notice. It has never looked back. Since then, the RX has taken great strides while the imitators soon followed. The compact SUV hasn’t been quite the same since.

There’s something rather infectious about success. It beckons you to keep moving ahead and keep reinventing what’s been done before. To Lexus, this means forever striving for greater things with each subsequent incarnation of the RX. More luxury refinements. More of an adrenalin rush from several high technology powerplants. More sublime comforts to insulate you from less than ideal roads. Installing more innovations to take you to your destination then bring you back again safely.

Keeping ahead of the curve We live in exciting times. Design is being pushed in diverse directions. From simple and minimalist, to complex and curvaceous. Deciding which design movement truly moves you is perhaps a reflection of how you look at life. Some will be captivated by conventional design cues. Trendsetters however will pursue a different route. This is why Lexus concluded that it must create a design language all of its own, then keep redefining it to keep a step ahead of eternally dissident design trends.

Feel comfortable with the future Comfort expresses itself in many forms. It can be the soft caress of leather accented interior. Seats that bend every which way to accommodate you. Intuitive controls which comfort the mind and assist in promoting a more relaxed journey. Then just beneath the surface, intelligent technologies lie in wait ready to entertain you, guide you and keep you informed. This is one interior design treatment that manages to stimulate, inspire and comfort you, all at the same time.

pursuing a new definition of luXury brand heritage

12

In the mid 1980s a team of passionate designers embarked on a remarkable journey. They travelled to America and integrated themselves into an exclusive neighbourhood to better understand the intricacies of privileged lifestyles. Designers visited upscale boutiques and exclusive country clubs to discover the true essence of western style and to learn what luxury vehicle buyers really wanted. They observed how a new definition of luxury was permeating American society. Fashion, design and architecture were being reshaped by younger, more affluent professionals who were turning their backs on conventional luxury vehicles, seeking a more rewarding driving experience. Such a fact-finding mission was

followed by one of the most extensive development programs ever undertaken by a motor vehicle company. The end result was the Lexus LS 400, a vehicle that ultimately redirected the course of luxury vehicle design, elegance and performance. In subsequent years, Lexus observed how another revolution was quietly unfolding. Certain luxury vehicle buyers wanted more freedom to pursue more stimulating journeys along less conventional routes. So Lexus created the RX and in doing so, took a firm foothold in an entirely new automotive category, the luxury crossover vehicle. Today the passion of Lexus engineers to explore new territory continues unabated with the emergence of the very latest expression of the RX.

Meanwhile, the Lexus commitment to ground breaking design has forged ahead into bold new territory, evidenced by the unveiling of the LF-CC coupe concept at the Paris Motor Show. More recently, the RC F Coupe has been stealing the limelight at the world’s auto shows. With its 330+kW, 5 Litre V8 engine, the RC F is propelling Lexus firmly onto the performance coupe stage and capturing the attention of the world’s motoring critics.

Ascending to new heights INTRODUCING THE RX

14

When the first RX slipped elegantly onto the global scene in 1998, a unique journey was about to unfold.

of individuals, intent on extracting the most out of life while unobtrusively accommodating life’s necessities.

Equally capable of taking you to high trails as well as the high street, the Lexus RX presented a tantalising prospect of redefining the perception of SUV luxury. Once redefined in the mind, it was time to redefine it in the heart and soul.

As each ensuing RX model attained more capabilities and charisma than the last, further honours quickly followed. Winning ‘Best Luxury 4WD’ in the ‘Australia’s Best Cars’ awards in 2003, 2004 and 2005 were just some of them. Performance capabilities increased as willingly as luxury levels and the RX excelled in the complex lifestyles of more discerning individuals.

The very first RX 300 put luxury into a new package and took it places it had seldom ventured. All Wheel Drive coupled with refined ride dynamics allowed the RX to offer one of the most extraordinary gifts of all – the ability to explore a life more carefree and fulfilling. It promptly garnered industry accolades as readily as admiration from a new generation

Convention made way for innovation as a spirited hybrid powerplant entered the fray, combining vigorous yet velvetysmooth acceleration with ultimate efficiency. It delivered

what the rational purists wanted, yet was actually more intent on liberating the driver by delivering elevated levels of refinement and performance. Now RX has advanced even further. By encompassing ideas to make life easier, encased in a bold design, it eclipses the quantum leaps taken by previous models. However, this RX isn’t designed to simply look good. Beneath its exterior, the beauty continues. A mecca of technology and innovation is designed to breathe life into the RX and to take your breath away. The latest expression of RX has arrived.

The evolution that created a revolution style and design This is not a discreet, mild mannered luxury SUV. A team of passionate designers has evolved the original Lexus L-finesse design philosophy further to make an even bolder statement. Engineering brilliance fuses with the elegance of contour and colour resulting in a cohesive design that demands attention. Your first impression of the RX is the striking spindle-shaped grille which slices through the frontal persona, reflecting the latest dramatic development of the design language that is reshaping today’s Lexus vehicles. An explosion of confident, robust curves inflicts strong geometric contours to the body design. The grille flows seamlessly into large headlamp units punctuated by integrated LED Daytime Running Lights (DRL). The RX 450h Sports Luxury looks further into the future as two LED beams replace conventional headlamps. Fashion meets function as the Lexus badge in the grille also serves as part of the radar sensor, integral in the safety technologies inherent in F Sport and Sports Luxury models. While such a demeanour captures attention, it caresses the wind with a sleek 0.32 coefficient of drag. Dramatic contours are also displayed in the rear, leading to a sleek tail light design. Such elegance is complemented on Luxury models by alloy wheels displaying a machined finish, while Sports Luxury variants ride on a sophisticated 10-spoke alloy wheel design. Should you choose the F Sport, the front bumper displays a more vigorous personality complemented by mesh grilles. Multi-spoke 19" alloy wheels with a dark chrome finish reveal a more extroverted side to the RX’s personality. Inside, sports pedals and an F Sport steering wheel enhance driving performance, while the RX 350 has the added driving exhilaration of paddle shifters. Best of all, this is an instance of automotive artistry that will rekindle your passion for driving.

A design movement that moves minds style and design 18

Imagine a vehicle that feels a natural extension of your body. One in which the controls have been intelligently positioned exactly where you need them. Where your every action is promptly followed by the intended reaction. L-finesse interior design was conceived to achieve precisely that. Whatever your heart desires, the RX delivers. The seats have been sculpted to cradle your body with utmost support. Touch the power adjustment buttons and the front seats move to suit your individual torso. Three position memory settings ensure each minute adjustment is remembered for your next journey (except lumbar), together with your mirror and steering wheel settings. Elegant curves flow across the door panels,

neatly integrating essential controls. Intelligent design continues on the instrument panel, where the Electro Multi-Vision (EMV) display has been positioned at eye level, for minimal eye movement and maximum visibility as you drive. Once you have plotted your route on the EMV display, spoken directions guide you to your destination. Maps may even be copied and taken to another vehicle or PC by USB (1) flash drive.

focussed on the road. As you warm to the journey ahead, an intelligent dual-zone climate control system helps cool you down again, while keeping fan noise breathlessly subdued. As your senses are indulged, your mind is free to pursue routes more stimulating.

Equally easy on the eye is the Head-up Display (HUD) available in Sports Luxury models and F Sport with Enhancement Pack 1. Concise information is placed right in your line of vision allowing you to remain

Switch onto a new dimension Technology Slip into the driving seat and prepare for a new experience in refined adventure seeking. A reassuring sense of being in touch and in control is simply a click away via the Lexus Remote Touch Controller (LRT). As intuitive as a computer mouse it puts a range of controls, from fine tuning audio levels to finding your destination, right at your fingertips. The controller has been ergonomically shaped with a concave centre, providing a comfortable recess for your fingers, ensuring precise control. You can view your speed, gear selection, shift mode and more without ever taking your eyes off the road. Touch a switch on the steering wheel and the audio system responds to your spoken commands whilst your iPod®(2) is connected via USB. Your RX can even stream audio from your Bluetooth®(3) connected phone. When you want your voice to travel further, in-built Bluetooth®(3) helps you answer the call, offering hands-free communication with utmost clarity. Your ears are seduced by a 12-speaker audio system in Luxury and F Sport models equipped with the audio precision of a ‘Class D’ digital amplifier. You can play CDs or DVDs, or the USB input allows you to connect your iPod®(2) for an expansive music library, then view album artwork on the Electro Multi-Vision display. The Digital Radio (DAB+) (4) benefits from more channels and clearer sound than conventional radio.

RX 350 Sports Luxury model shown

In Sports Luxury models and F Sport with Enhancement Pack 1, an audiophile system incorporating 15 speakers is the creation of a free thinker named Mark Levinson.® Music lovers will revel in the purity of this breathtaking high technology system which can make a drive to the supermarket feel like a night at the opera. Should you be driving the hybrid-equipped RX 450h, Drive Mode Select allows you to change the personality of your vehicle depending on your mood. Select ‘ECO’ or ‘NORMAL’ and the interior lighting is a soothing blue, and a Hybrid System Indicator is displayed on the instrument panel. Switch to ‘SPORT’ mode and the instrument display switches to a dynamic red colour, the steering and throttle response become more immediate and your driving experience takes on a sportier dimension.

thinKing and acting smarter safety

When you feel protected, you feel empowered. In RX, such a sense of comfort comes from knowing smart technologies lie in wait, ready to deal with a plethora of situations. Take the package of 10 Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Airbags. As comprehensive as it appears, the real beauty is the manner in which each airbag responds. For instance, dual stage front airbags react according to the level of impact. The front passenger’s twin chamber acts like two cushions side by side which spread the collision force. Rear impacts are dealt with by forward thinking, as active headrests actually move forward and upward to help reduce the risk of whiplash injuries. Since the more stimulating journeys are often travelled on twisty rural roads, Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management (VDIM) can anticipate a slide and take

corrective action. The Anti-skid Braking System (ABS), Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) and Traction Control (TRC) work in harmony for optimum control when cornering and stopping. The beauty of such sophistication is that you’re often blissfully unaware as each system is working on your behalf.

may be imminent and takes precautions. Such actions include alerting the driver, improved braking performance through Brake Assist (BA) and if the brakes are not applied, the PCS(6) system will automatically apply the brakes and retract the seatbelts of the front passengers to reduce the chance of an injury.

As you pull out to overtake, a one touch lane change indicator provides several warning flashes alerting other drivers of your intentions, all from a single touch of the turn signal stalk.

LED Daytime Running Lights (DRL) make you more visible to other motorists at all times. Then after dark, the driver’s visibility takes a dramatic turn in F Sport and Sports Luxury models. An Active Front-lighting System (AFS) virtually redirects the headlights around corners, for even greater levels of safety.

You’ll feel more relaxed on the highway as Radar Active Cruise Control (ACC)(5) watches ahead in F Sport and Sports Luxury models and slows you down should another vehicle cross your path. In emergency situations, the Pre-Collision Safety System (PCS)(6) detects when a crash

Yet as remarkable as all this sounds, it is merely a glimpse into the safety systems Lexus engineers have employed.

Performing as one RX HYBRID In life and in love, we aspire to acting and thinking as one. Such a sensation that can now be enjoyed in the RX 450h hybrid – a perfect marriage of three hearts: petrol, electric, and (most importantly) yours. Since your body will barely detect whether petrol or electric power (or both) are driving you, allow us to explain. The Lexus Hybrid Drive (LHD) uses the spontaneous high torque of the electric motor from rest for starting. For cruising in the high speed range, it utilises the efficient power of the petrol engine. The management system carefully selects the optimum combination of the petrol engine and electric motor to maximise fuel efficiency and reduce emissions.(7) You’ll not only feel the energy but see it as well on the Electro Multi-Vision (EMV) display. The Hybrid System Indicator on the instrument panel informs you when you’re driving with greatest efficiency or power, and even when the battery is being recharged. The blissfully quiet running of the Lexus Hybrid Drive is most befitting a luxury vehicle, not only for the sensation of power it offers, but for the levels of refinement and quietness it delivers. Such smoothness is made all the more remarkable by the Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT), a highly efficient transmission which has infinite gear ratios. So you’ll feel the acceleration but won’t detect any changing of gears, for uninterrupted driving pleasure. There’s little you really need to understand about the RX 450h but there’s so much for you to experience. Consider it one of those rare opportunities when you can enjoy exhilarating performance with a clear conscience.

paint finishes that start something special eXterior colours

So Lexus designers have assembled a palette of ten colours which add extra dimension to the stunning L-finesse design. It is more than a mere selection of hues, but a range of advanced paint finishes,^ each with unique and quite remarkable capabilities.

tiny metallic particles in Premium Silver capture light and accentuate the RX body’s flowing curves and highlights. F Sport is distinguished by a selection of seven colours which includes White Nova, a sleek shade of white. Garnet also employs particles of mica to complement the F Sport’s dynamic persona, while Starlight Black incorporates glass flake technology to display a rich lustre.

Lexus Australia reserves the right to vary and discontinue the current interior and exterior colours, trims and colour/trim/model combinations. Colours and trims displayed here are a guide only and may vary from actual colours due to printing/display process. See your Lexus dealer to confirm colour/ trim/model availability when ordering your vehicle.

Indulge the senses INTERIOR trims

As your body is cocooned in comfort, Lexus interior designers have ensured your mind will be energised and inspired. Immerse yourself in the smooth leather accented interior in Luxury models. On longer journeys, you’ll appreciate how the circular perforations allow the seat inserts to breathe, helping keep you feeling refreshed. Sports Luxury models are distinguished by a leather accented interior with an elegant diamond perforation treatment. All model grades feature bold contrasting stitching for added style. Step into the F Sport models and you’re greeted by a black leather accented interior offset by a bolder F Sport stitching technique, while silver mouldings instil added panache.

The elegant contours of the door trims are punctuated by the sleek gloss of Abyss black mouldings in Luxury models. In Sports Luxury, an air of classic elegance is evoked by a woodgrain-look steering wheel and accents on the door trims presented in Dark Grey Birds Eye Maple or Walnut. RX 450h Sports Luxury has a distinct personality in keeping with its environmental status. Its selection of woodgrain-look trims extends to natural bamboo, a rapidly renewable and sustainable plantation timber.

Yet the comfort you’ll experience in the RX goes much deeper than trims and finishes, resulting in levels of refinement which may seem quite out of character for a luxury SUV. This is due in part to a sophisticated coil spring suspension system which eloquently dispenses with road undulations. Meanwhile a duet of horizontally mounted performance dampers soak up unwanted vibrations, ensuring uniquely Lexus levels of comfort and quietness with enhanced on-road stability, wherever your journey may lead.

As you switch on the audio system, the Lexus logo is displayed in a sophisticated Champagne colour, harmonising with the metallic mouldings surrounding the controls.

ownership solutions Ownership Solutions allows you to determine your finance costs and know the Guaranteed Future Value (GFV) + of your vehicle from the outset. It offers you choice, control and certainty. In short, everything you’d expect from Lexus. How does Ownership Solutions work? • You choose the deposit that best fits your needs. • You choose your term.++ • We agree on the estimated kilometres you think the vehicle will have travelled at the end of the term (the End Odometer). The End Odometer will also include any kilometres already on the vehicle. • Lexus Financial Services (LFS) then determines the GFV of your vehicle. The GFV is the minimum value of your Lexus at the end of your finance contract. Your monthly repayments are then calculated based on the above information with a final payment equal to your GFV. Then, if you return your Lexus at the end of the term and satisfy the agreed terms and conditions, LFS will pay you the GFV which will be put against the final payment. The end of the term? Simply replace, retain or return. At the end of your term you can choose to: • Replace or sell your Lexus using the trade-in value or sale price to pay the remaining balance of your account. • Retain your Lexus and simply pay the remaining balance of your account (including final payment). • Alternatively, return your Lexus and, subject to fair wear and tear conditions and the agreed kilometres being met, we’ll put the GFV towards the final payment on your account. Choosing your deposit – what is best for you? With the flexibility of Ownership Solutions, you can choose the deposit that best fits your current needs. • If, for example, you have funds tied up in other investments, you can choose to finance your new Lexus with a zero deposit.+ † • Alternatively, by using a larger deposit you can lower your monthly repayments. • Better still, compared to other finance options over a similar term, Ownership Solutions can provide more affordable monthly repayments.+++

Want more certainty? With Ownership Solutions you’ve got the reassurance that at the end of the term (subject to fair wear and tear and agreed kilometres being met) you’ll never owe more than your vehicle’s worth to LFS. In other words, you don’t have to worry about what your vehicle will be worth in the future because you know its minimum value from the outset. What happens in the case of the unexpected? If your vehicle incurs damage and does not meet the Fair Wear and Tear guidelines, LFS will give you the opportunity to have your vehicle repaired. Otherwise, LFS can organise the repairs and deduct the cost from your GFV. This adjusted GFV will then be the price that LFS will offer you if you return the vehicle at the end of your term. Of course, if you retain the vehicle, the condition doesn’t matter, however, if you replace it or sell it privately the condition will obviously impact your sale price. So what does your accountant think? Naturally, we think Ownership Solutions is an excellent, innovative way to put you in control of buying a new Lexus. That said, we suggest you seek independent advice to ensure Ownership Solutions is right for you. Wouldn’t it be great if Ownership Solutions was just the beginning? Lexus’ innovations and commitment to customer service extend well beyond Ownership Solutions. Once you purchase a new Lexus, you’ll become a member of the Lexus Encore Privileges programme and enjoy a host of exclusive benefits.† For further details simply visit your nearest Lexus dealer or see lexus.com.au/services/benefits/

 uaranteed Future Value (GFV) is the minimum value of your new or approved demonstrator Lexus at the end of your finance contract, as determined by G Lexus Financial Services (LFS).

Total interest charges will be higher if a GFV or balloon final payment is selected. † Terms and Conditions apply. +
