Greater driver input is accomplished via the electronic manual-mode function and the ability to deactivate the control nannies at lower speeds. Drivers can also opt for several suspension settings to suit their driving mood.
Adaptive Suspension shows flexibility
The hybrid Lexus flagship is underpinned with the latest in adaptive suspension setups.
Referred to by Lexus as Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS), the arrangement continuously balances handling needs with ride comfort but the beauty in this technology is the ability to select ‘comfort’ or
‘sport’ orientation at the touch of a button.
The choice of ride dynamics serves as the foundation to other settings, such as audio, to complete the desired environment from which to pilot the big craft.
Extensive array of comfort and convenience applications
Even thinking about writing the complete list of standard comfort and convenience equipment is a daunting task. Suffice to say if you can think of it, it’s likely here provided the Premium Executive Package has been ordered.
My tester was so equipped, which transformed rear seating into an opulent office environment for two, replete with heated/cooled reclining ottoman seats featuring Shiatsu massage. A Mark Levinson Reference Surround Sound audio system was in place to massage the ears while the back received its royal Japanese treatment.
The fortunate rear occupants will also find a DVD entertainment system and an automatic climate control with an infrared body temperature sensor to enhance their pleasure. And let’s not forget the ubiquitous foldout wood and leather table for inking those lucrative contracts.
But what’s comfort and entertainment without safety?
Occupant safety and protection maximized
Along with its comprehensive assortment of vehicle control technologies, including antilock brakes fortified with Brake Assist (BA) and Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD), my tester was equipped with a Driver Monitoring system.
This cutting edge technology utilizes infrared monitoring of the driver’s facial area and eye movement combined with driving data to recognize when fatigue is compromising driving ability.
