Lexus GX 470 Gains Enhanced Information and Entertainment Features for 2007
2007 Lexus GX 470 builds upon its position as the premium luxury utility vehicle for family adventures with new enhancements to its onboard entertainment and information systems. A full-capability luxury utility vehicle delivering an outstanding combination of power, comfort and confidence for any kind of driving, the GX 470 is positioned between the brand's prestige-luxury LX 470 and car-based RX models in size and price.
The V8-powered 2007 Lexus GX 470 combines the luxury appointments and workmanship of a Lexus sedan with a sophisticated full-time four-wheel-drive system supported by an array of dynamic handling technology. 2007 Lexus GX 470 offers eight-passenger seating with an available third-row seat. Echoing the brand's quality leadership, 2007 GX 470 was named the Highest Ranked Midsize Premium Multi Activity Vehicle in the 2006 J.D. Power and Associates Initial Quality StudySM (IQS).
New for 2007, Lexus GX 470's available Lexus Navigation System has been upgraded to the fifth-generation technology, adding a host of features including voice activation and enhanced display features. A standard input jack for an iPod, or other digital music players, expands listening choices, and the optional Mark Levinson Premium Audio system, available in conjunction with the navigation system, now plays DVDs as well as conventional and MP3/WMA-formatted CDs. When Lexus GX 470 is parked, the Mark Levinson system can play a DVD movie on the navigation system screen. The available rear-seat entertainment system features a larger, nine-inch wide-format screen for 2007.
"The GX 470 uniquely melds the heavy-duty engineering of go-anywhere, do-anything SUVs with the unquestionable luxury and quality that are synonymous with the Lexus brand," said Bob Carter, Lexus group vice president and general manager.
2007 Lexus GX 470's available Sport Package includes the unique Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System (KDSS) that adjusts the sway resistance provided by the front and rear stabilizer bars. The Sport Package also gives the GX 470 a distinctive visual signature, with smoked front and rear light bezels, chrome exhaust tip and dark graphite finish on the 17-inch alloy wheels and roof rack. Inside, the dark graphite center console and instrument-panel trim complements the Black Bird's-eye Maple wood trim.
Power, Strength and Control
2007 Lexus GX 470 is powered by a high-tech 4.7-liter V8 engine that produces 263 horsepower and 323 lb-ft. of peak torque. Equipped with Variable Valve Timing with intelligence (VVT-i), the V8 provides ample torque across a wide speed range, helping to make the GX 470 feel very responsive in everyday driving and give it excellent towing performance. The GX 470 meets Ultra Low Emissions Vehicle II (ULEV-II) certification.
The five-speed automatic transmission provides seamless shift quality. Shift logic can hold gears on inclines for power and on descents for increased engine braking, which can be helpful when towing, for example.
Robust body-on-frame construction, full-time four-wheel drive and a full array of dynamic-control technologies truly equip the GX 470 for virtually any kind of driving. Independent front suspension and rear air suspension with self-leveling control deliver a smooth on-road ride without compromising rugged off-road capabilities. Standard 265/65SR17 tires are mounted on 17-inch alloy wheels.
