Lexus Brings Updates to NX, RC and LS
Lexus Brings Updates to NX, RC and LS-August 2024
2023-12-14 EST 02:30:46

Three models in Lexus’ range havereceived updates and improvements to their standard specification, in order to provide greater comfort, convenience, style and performance.

The models included in the upgrade roll-outcomprise the NX Compact SUV, RC 2+2 Coupe and the LS sedan.

Wireless charging for NX

The NX receives a subtle boost to its spec level with the addition of a wireless cell phone charger for all three grades (E, EX and F Sport). Utilising Qi technology, a compatible smartphone can be recharged wirelessly by placing the device on the charge pad.

The range-topping F Sport model receives Blind Spot Monitoring that also includes Rear Cross Traffic Alert.

Turbo power for RC

The RC Sports Coupe line-up has been bolstered with the addition of a derivative powered by the 2-litre turbocharged engine recently introduced in the IS sedan range. The engine makes a decent 180 kW and 350 Nm. This new engine works in tandem with an eight-speed automatic gearbox. The model will be badged as theRC 200t.

The RC 350 F Sport will continue to top the range with its V6 naturally aspirated powerplant doing the work under the bonnet.

Enhanced Multi-media for LS

The range topping LS luxury sedan is the final model in the trilogy to receive an update.

The LS's multi-media system has been overhauled, with functionality, ease-of-use and display improvements. The 31cm TFT multi-media system still uses Lexus’ Remote Touch Interface, with ergonomic improvements in the form of dual sided ‘enter’ buttons in addition to a ‘back’ feature.

There is also the ability to display the satellite navigation map across the entire width of the screen, with the option to switch to a 20cm sectioned display, to allow two sets of information on the screen simultaneously.
