With five ratios instead of the previous four, the new transmission is designed to make better use of the engine's wide torque curve.

The Lexus Navigation System uses a DVD for map storage, which means it has room for Canada and all of the continental United States on one disc. This new system includes multi-language selection and greater convenience thanks to route calculation that's twice as fast as before, and map scrolling that's speedier as well. New functions include multi-route calculation, route preview, simplified highway junction graphics, and a dual-map screen mode.

Additional luxury features include a multi-information display with trip computer, Homelink® compatible garage door opener, electrochromic auto-dimming inside and outside mirrors and a compass integrated into the inside mirror.

The power windows on all four doors feature one-touch up/down control with pinch protection so unwary passengers won't get their arms or hands caught. Two more ideas borrowed from the LSĀ 430 include water-repellent front door glass and four-door courtesy lamps that illuminate the ground and doorsill areas.

The luxury ambience includes standard footwell lighting, a center console LED interior light, and sun visor vanity mirror lamps that turn off automatically when the visor is closed.

There's California walnut trim in the dashboard, center console, and doors, which also feature chrome handles.
