Hello everyone, this issue analyzes the new Lexus LX, which is a brand new replacement model, equipped with a non-carrier body, with a wheelbase of 2845mm,
The new Lexus LX still feels good in the design of the appearance, but it is not as simple and atmospheric as the old model, the design of the front face and tail is OK, and the style of the side is also very powerful, but the design of the side D pillar is obviously a little rough. From the outside, it's not as stunning. I believe that the positioning of luxury brands is to achieve a certain amount of sales all over the world and be recognized by customers around the world, and Lexus has also achieved a certain market sales in overseas markets.

Speaking of luxury brands, I want to talk about its history first, The Lexus brand was launched in 1986, compared to other established luxury brands, Lexus is a young luxury brand, Lexus is a luxury brand under Toyota, in 1989 launched two models, mainly for the North American market, and Lexus LX was launched in 1996, this car series has a longer product history than Mercedes-Benz GLS and BMW X7 and Cadillac Careyd. This time, the Lexus LX is a fourth-generation model.
2. Market positioning
There is no doubt that this is Lexus' flagship SUV, which is benchmarked against the Infiniti QX80 in the competition, as well as models such as the American luxury brand Cadillac Creed and Lincoln Navigator, as well as the very strong Mercedes-Benz GLS Class and BMW X7. There is even a Mercedes-Maybach GLS class, which is inextricably linked to the Toyota Land cruiser in terms of technology application. The wheelbase is 2845mm. The performance of the wheelbase is still average.

In terms of safety configuration, it is equipped with "Lexus Safety System+", which provides very practical functions such as front collision avoidance, pedestrian monitoring, lane change assistance, full speed domain follow-up assistance, road marking detection, driver error response and lane keeping.
In terms of comfort, the car offers three rows of seats, as well as double seats, as well as a more high-end four-seat version to choose from, the four-seat rear seat can be tilted 48 degrees, the co-pilot position can be moved forward, and the passenger seat also has unflinchable foot rests, with a maximum rear legroom of 110 cm. There are also sun blinds in the rear side windows, as well as comfortable headrests.
From the appearance point of view, the overall design is still relatively beautiful, there are two appearance styles, one for the ordinary version, the other for the very sporty F SPORT version, the ordinary version of the front face spindle-shaped net using a horizontal flake design, and the use of a ring style, F SPORT version is the use of staggered black grille texture modeling, the larger size is domineering. The style of the side is still very powerful, the design of the body bulge is very muscular, but the design of the D-pillar is slightly auxiliary, the aesthetic sense is insufficient, and the F SPORT version is equipped with 22-inch wheels. The tail is designed with a through-through hard taillight, using a slightly curved shape, and the overall sense of grade is also very strong.
The style of the car is also as luxurious as ever, the overall central control design is still very wide, using a suspended central control screen, bringing a good scientific and technological style, the following is a slightly inclined design, and also the use of the shape of the central control screen, the central control bridge and steering wheel are decorated with solid wood, the design of the central armrest is also very wide.
