The simplicity of the Lexus Remote Touch
To make driving even easier, Lexus has placed key vehicle functions at your fingertips via a Lexus Remote Touch controller on the console. With the simplicity of a computer mouse, you can access up to 20 functions with fingertip precision. So, for example, you can plot your route with the Satellite Navigation with just a few clicks of the controller. It's yet another example of advanced Lexus technology for enhanced driving pleasure, allowing seamless interaction between you and the vehicle, while allowing you to concentrate on your driving.
Enhanced climate control
Determined to offer a vehicle that allows you to create the perfect cabin temperature even faster than previous systems, Lexus engineers implemented several improvements including a newly developed air conditioning unit. The RX 450h’s climate control system features a unique electric compressor that operates seamlessly with maximum efficiency. It also uses a humidity control sensor to automatically reduce or increase the air temperature as required in the cabin. Whatever the conditions are outside, you can be sure the temperature will be just right inside the Lexus RX 450h.
A new standard in crystal clear audio
The RX 450h Prestige and Sports models feature a 12-speaker Lexus premium sound system. The Sports Luxury gives you the added dimension of a 7.1 channel surround sound system with 15 speakers by renowned audiophile designer Mark Levinson. Speakers have been placed in symmetry across the cabin, including higher mounted front and newly added rear door tweeters to direct sound towards passengers, resulting in a crisp, clear listening experience. Both systems feature an in-dash six-stack CD player capable of MP3, WMA and CD-R/RW playback and, a new feature in the RX, an AUX jack that enables you to connect portable music players like iPod®s.
Remain focused with Head-Up Display
To help you keep your eyes on the road ahead, a Head-Up Display (HUD) in the Sports Luxury model positions key information on the windscreen just above the dash panel. This means you can view your speed, simplified navigation arrows, audio settings or the Pre-Collision Safety System brake warning, in a clear display, all without having to take your eyes off the road.
Illuminated entry welcomes you aboard
As you approach the vehicle after dark, a puddle light beneath each exterior mirror illuminates your path. Then as you step inside, a neatly choreographed lighting sequence guides your way and provides a warm welcome.
Satellite Navigation* as standard
In all RX models, an advanced DVD based Satellite Navigation system is standard. It guides you to your destination with visual maps or spoken commands, so getting lost isn't an option*.
In-built Bluetooth™
Simply register your Bluetooth**-compatible mobile phone, then enjoy the simplicity of hands-free communications on the move.
Multi Information Display keeps you informed
In the centre of the instrument panel is a Multi Information Display which informs you of a number of key vehicle functions with simplicity and clarity. So you can view what gear you're in, fuel consumption and other key data, in a concise, easy to read format.
