Lexus has added twin-turbo V8 diesel power to its luxury off-road LX, providing impressive adventure and towing credentials.<\/p>\n

\"2018<\/p>\n

The new Lexus LX 450d has 650Nm of torque from just 1600rpm and 9.5 litres\/100km combined-cycle fuel economy. The five-seat LX 450d has a potential range of almost 1000km on a tank of fuel and offers nearly 400 litres of cargo volume from floor to the top of the second-row seats. Recommended retail price is AUD 134,500, with specifications that include the latest-generation Lexus pre-collision system (PCS) with pedestrian detection, 10 airbags, six-speed sequential-shift transmission and full-time all-wheel drive.<\/p>\n

Lexus Australia chief executive Scott Thompson said the LX 450d would expand the brand’s sales with turbo-diesel being the powertrain of choice in the luxury 4WD market.<\/p>\n

“We have had consistent demand for the LX with a turbo-diesel and Lexus has responded by developing an extremely well-specified vehicle that we are able to offer at a remarkable price,” Mr Thompson said. “The turbo-diesel engine is smooth, quiet and powerful and will suit a wide variety of applications.”<\/p>\n

The Lexus LX 450d is powered by a 4.5-litre twin-turbo direct-injection V8 engine, delivering 200kW of power at 3600rpm and 650Nm of torque from 1600-2800rpm, with Euro 5 emissions and a diesel particulate filter.\u00a0Special attention was paid to achieving user friendliness, with a pressure discharge valve to enhance performance and driveability, and the added responsiveness of low-inertia turbochargers with electric motors. Lexus continues to offer the LX 570 with a quad-cam 5.7-litre V8 petrol engine, eight-speed transmission, eight seats and an optional enhancement pack. The LX 570 and LX 450d have a 3500kg towing capacity.<\/p>\n

Lexus LX 450d has an impressive list of standard features including 20-inch alloy wheels with 285\/50R tyres, tyre-pressure warning, LED headlamps, daytime running lamps and sequential turn signals.\u00a0Leading-edge off-road technology includes multi-terrain anti-skid brakes, crawl control and 4-camera multi-terrain monitor with back guide and panoramic view.<\/p>\n

\"Lexus<\/p>\n

LX 450d also has five-mode drive mode select, variable gear-ratio steering, adaptive variable suspension, easy access and active height control. It benefits from intensive technical upgrades to the LX Line in the past two years – including Lexus Safety System + (PCS, radar active cruise control, lane departure warning and adaptive high-beam system), head-up display, blind-spot monitor and rear cross-traffic alert.<\/p>\n

Standard safety equipment includes clearance and back sonar, and reversing monitor with 360-degree view. Seven exterior colours are offered and two leather-accented interiors.<\/p>\n
