The Lexus LX470 represents the second generation of the flagship SUV and is actually the premium version of the Toyota Land Cruiser in the "hundredth" body, originally intended for the North American market. Differences from the original are noticeable mainly in the front optics and, by default, a more luxurious interior. As before, the Lexus LX provides a single engine - in this generation it is a 4.7-liter V8 engine mated to a 4- or 5-speed automatic transmission. Being a full-size SUV with serious characteristics, the LX470 is based on a frame structure, and its suspension is tuned to provide excellent driving performance. The car is able to accommodate up to eight people with upscale comfort.
 Standard equipment includes 16-inch alloy wheels, full power accessories, power front seats, automatic air conditioning with two climate control zones, leather interior, premium Nakamichi audio system, six-disc changer and more. In 2001, there was a DVD player, an optional audio system with nine Mark Levinson speakers, the Automatic Sound Levelizer (ASL) function was added, which automatically adjusts the volume depending on the noise level; wood and leather steering wheel and gearshift knobs are standard equipment. In general, the level of equipment was so high that the rest was already added "in detail" (18-inch wheels, Bluetooth wireless technology, satellite radio) until a major update in 2005, when new comfort functions, LED taillights, and a system were added tire pressure monitoring, 11 speakers of Mark Levinson audio system, etc. d.

 Under the hood of the Lexus LX470 is a 4.7-liter 2UZ-FE gasoline engine with four valves per cylinder. Originally working in tandem with a 4-speed automatic transmission, it produced 230 horsepower, which was raised to 235 liters. with. - This happened simultaneously with the installation of a new 5-speed automatic transmission. Along with this, fuel efficiency and environmental parameters of the engine were improved, which began to comply with more stringent ULEV-II standards. The following changes occurred in 2005, when the engine received a VVT system, while the power increased to a very substantial 275 liters. with.

 This SUV has a frame structure, permanent four-wheel drive, a limited-slip differential and a continuous rear axle (independent front suspension, double wishbone). The ANS air suspension has several modes and is able to change the height of the body on off-road and return to its normal position when driving at high speed to lower the center of gravity and reduce wind resistance. At the same time, the adaptive AVS system is capable of varying the stiffness of each of the shock absorbers separately over a wide range, depending on road conditions and driving mode. For cars from model year 2003, the VGRS (Variable Gear Rating Steering) system has become the standard, changing the steering mechanism control algorithm, also adjusting the gear ratio depending on the conditions. Lexus LX470 offers a very high level of security, which has steadily increased with the release of the model. Thus, as a standard until 2000, antilock braking systems with EBD and BAS functions were provided, as well as an exchange rate stability system; in 2002, side airbags and curtain airbags were added to the originally offered frontal airbags, as a result of which the total number of airbags increased to eight. In addition, the car received the Night View night vision system (first in the world), Lexus Link emergency emergency communication system and other safety features.

 As befits a real premium SUV, the Lexus LX470 offers not only a luxurious interior, but also very high quality materials in the interior. As for the overall high reliability, this moment is crucial - the LX470 holds high places in the ratings of used cars. Cars imported from the USA or Canada are not uncommon at domestic sites. They are distinguished, as a rule, by the maximum level of equipment, while the cars of 2005-2007 years are most interesting in terms of equipment.
