In addition, RX 330 offers some of the most sophisticated optional equipment available in any kind of luxury vehicle, SUV or sedan. These include:

  • An air suspension system with automatic levelling and four selectable height settings to provide the optimum ride height for a variety of conditions. "Normal" mode automatically lowers the RX 330 slightly at highway speeds to improve handling and ride comfort. "Low" mode reduces the ride height even further to enhance response. "High" mode increases ground clearance when driving over rough surfaces at low speeds, and "Access" mode provides the lowest setting for easier entries, exits and loading.
  • Adaptive Front Lighting System (AFS) for better illumination in turns and curves. A central controller calculates the optimum lighting direction based on vehicle speed and steering angle and swivels the headlights independently, allowing the driver approaching a curve in the road ahead to see further before entering it.
  • A power rear tailgate, controlled from the standard keyless remote entry system. An automatically-retracting tonneau cover adds even more security and convenience.
  • A large multi-panel tilt and slide moonroof
  • A 240-watt Mark Levinson sound system with 11 speakers and in-dash 6-CD changer.
  • A factory-installed DVD rear-seat entertainment system with a high-resolution screen that lowers from the headliner. The package includes a remote control and two wireless headphones. Rear seat passengers can listen to a different audio source than those in the front when using the wireless headphones.
  • A DVD-based Lexus Navigation System with voice recognition and a rear-facing back-up camera. The back-up camera is mounted near the top of the license plate surround and automatically projects an image of what is behind the vehicle onto the navigation screen when the vehicle is in reverse gear.
