Lexus press release :
Lexus’s full hybrid LS 600h limousine gains more advanced technology
and more passenger comfort for 2010, reinforcing its position as one of
the most sophisticated and luxurious cars on the market. The revised
range now centres on the five-seat LS 600h L long-wheelbase model,
equipped with a Rear Seat Relaxation Package.
Rear Seat Relaxation Package
Lexus has made the LS 600h L’s Rear Seat Relaxation Package
available as an option for five as well as four-seat models. It
provides a series of features that provide a truly first class
travelling environment.
The package equips the left hand rear seat (on right-hand drive
models) with an electrically adjustable ottoman foot and thigh rest and
an adjustable massage function that can replicate techniques from
Shiatsu to acupressure. The seat is fitted with seat cushion airbag
and, to give a clear view, the front passenger headrest can be
electrically folded down. All rear seats have an electric recline
adjustment.
The features include a more sophisticated climate control system
that monitors the passengers’ body temperature for more effective
control of the cabin environment. For the four seat version, a fixed
centre console is provided with a built-in cool box, DVD and CD store
and a retracting and adjustable wood inlaid tray.
Where four seats are specified, the rear seat entertainment system
features a roof-mounted nine-inch VGA LCD monitor; with the five-seat
option the screen is centre console mounted.
Headlight technology
The advanced headlight system is further improved with the adoption
of automatic high beam operation. A sensor in the rear view mirror
detects on-coming traffic, streetlights and vehicles ahead and
automatically switches the headlight high beam on and off as conditions
require.
The Lexus LS was the first car in the world to feature LED
technology for low beam headlights. It offers exceptional illumination
power across the full width of the road, without causing glare for
oncoming traffic. The units use less power than conventional lamps and
light up almost instantaneously. Their design, with a transparent blue
ring around each of the three projector lenses, gives the LS 600h an
unmistakeable headlamp signature.
The effectiveness of the headlights is further increased by the
Intelligent Adaptive Front-lighting System (AFS), which swivels the
headlamp units in line with vehicle speed and steering angle to improve
illumination through bends at junctions and when turning into parking
places.
Brembo braking technology
The performance of the LS 600h’s electronically controlled braking
has been improved by 12.5 per cent. The 380 mm ventilated front discs
brakes are equipped with six-piston callipers, discs and pads of which
have been jointly developed with Brembo. Featuring high mu pads to
reduce abnormal noise and vibration, the new brakes provide excellent
feel and the fade-free, high speed stopping power.
HDD satellite navigation and sound library
In common with its sister Lexus models, the 2010 LS 600h adopts a
40GB hard disc drive (HDD) system to support its satellite navigation.
The HDD also provides 10GB storage for an on-board sound library of
digital files.
Exterior styling and colours
The 2010 LS 600h can be identified from its new front grille and
front and rear bumper design. Signature LED sidelights have also been
added, together with turn indicator lamps integrated in the door
mirrors. The range of exterior colours has been revised, including the
introduction of a new shade, Crystal Sapphire.
Interior features
The 2010 LS 600h gains new LCD dashboard instrumentation and
improved “butterfly” design headrests. All versions of the car now
benefit from the Rear Seat Upgrade Package, which includes four-
zone climate control, a multi-function rear centre armrest with
through-hatch into the boot, rear side airbags, electric sunshades on
the rear doors, electrically adjustable rear seats with memory
settings, lumbar massage and integrated air conditioning and
roof-mounted air conditioning diffusers.
