Lexus RX200t AL20, 4 generation 10.2015 - 11.2017

Crossover Lexus RX combines the best features of a sedan and SUV. In 2015, the fourth generation was introduced. For the Japanese market, two modifications are intended: in addition to the hybrid RX450h, the gasoline version of the RX200t is offered, equipped with a two-liter four-cylinder turbo engine with a capacity of 238 liters. with. In the recognizable look of the new Lexus RX, there are highlighted rotary LED three-lens L-shaped headlights, as well as L-shaped LED taillights, as if wrapped around the side and rear of the body. Compared with the third generation, the model has grown 120 mm in length and 50 mm in size of the wheelbase. 20-inch aluminum wheels are standard on the Version L and F SPORT trim levels, while 18-inch wheels are standard equipment. The new RX offers a comfortable interior, especially spacious at the rear - the passenger legroom is increased by three centimeters, there is more free space and overhead due to the lower location of the sofa. And the width of the cabin at the hips increased and did at all by 41 mm.
 For the Japanese market, the Lexus RX200t is offered in three trim levels: standard, “Version L” and “F SPORT”. The basic equipment includes front fog lights, mirrors with auto-adjusting function in reverse, glass with factory tinting, keyless entry and start system with a button, electric front seats with position memory, full power accessories (windows, mirrors), cruise control, climate control, navigation system with a full-color 12.3-inch LCD monitor, automatic fifth door with anti-pinch function and position memory. Options include: rear fog lights, headlight washers, panoramic roof, leather interior, heated front and rear seats, heated steering wheel, premium Mark Levinson surround audio system. In the “Version L” package, these functions are standard equipment and are complemented by the AVS adaptive suspension, and an entertainment system for rear passengers and a full-color projection display are available from the options. In the “F SPORT” package, which is offered only in all-wheel drive, the car is distinguished by a sports body kit, mesh radiator, metallized front spoiler and rear diffuser, sports seats in the passenger compartment. The Lexus RX200t has a 8AR-FTS two-liter turbo engine in combination with a direct injection system, twin scroll turbocharger and an advanced dual VVT-iW variable valve timing mechanism for intake and exhaust, which allows the engine to run on Otto and Atkinson cycles. High torque is generated over a wide rev range, providing smooth and powerful acceleration. Among other technologies, when creating an engine, a special spraying of internal parts is used to reduce friction losses. The output of the power unit is 238 hp Fuel consumption in the combined cycle is 7.9 l / 100 km. Torque transmission is provided by a hydromechanical six-band automatic machine.

 The chassis of the RX200t actually repeats that of the previous generation model, but has been thoroughly modernized by increasing the stiffness of individual elements (stabilizers, springs, silent blocks), changing the location of the engine for optimal weight distribution between the front and rear, etc. e. At the heart of the chassis are the same McPherson shock absorber struts at the front, double wishbones at the rear. The car is equipped with ventilated disc brakes on all wheels and an electric power steering with dynamic regulation. Ground clearance is 200 mm. In the presence of an adaptive suspension with sports characteristics, the rigidity of each shock absorber individually can vary, depending on road conditions.

 To reduce vibrations and at the same time increase body rigidity, modern high-tech solutions, including laser spot welding, were used to create it. Of the active electronic systems, the standard equipment includes: ABS (with electronic distribution of braking force), VSC and TRC control systems, an electric power steering (EPS) with a progressive characteristic - to further enhance safety, all these systems can optionally be integrated by an integrated dynamics control system VDIM car (standard for "F SPORT"). The restraints include a complete set of airbags, including knee airbags for the driver and front passenger.

 Lexus RX200t for the domestic market of Japan, as usual, has advanced equipment and meets the latest and most stringent safety standards. For example, as standard, the car is equipped with the innovative Lexus + preventive safety system, which includes two types of sensors (millimeter radar and camera) with high detection efficiency of objects to prevent collisions, including pedestrian detection, lane keeping system, radar cruise control adaptive high beams.
