Among the new options are a luxury semi-aniline leather, heated steering wheel and an outdoor pool heated second-row seats. New multimedia features - both standard and optional - to expand the family onboard entertainment options.
Engine / Transmission / Up / performance
In 2010 Lexus GX 460 model gets its name from a brand new 4.6-liter V8. The new 32-valve DOHC features aluminum cylinder heads and block, dual variable valve timing with intelligence (VVT-i), which controls valve timing and overlap of the two camshafts intake and exhaust to maximize power, fuel economy and emissions. (The previous was only 4.7 VVT camshafts for admission.) Maximum torque is also the new 4.6, now 329 lb-ft at 3500 rpm vs. 323 lb-ft at 3400 rpm for the 4.7-liter engine.
Lexus GX 460 is equipped with a standard full-time four-wheel drive via a gearbox with electronically controlled torque distribution and TORSEN ®-sensing center differential. It also provides a small area of rough terrain. TORSEN difference between the ratio of 40:60 to share power in most driving conditions and changes in the relationship, if necessary, based on the steering wheel and glide.
Chassis / Body / Suspension / Tires / Brakes
In 2010 Lexus GX 460 is one of the few vehicles in the premium brand luxury utility that can make a real ability to drive trails. By combining this capability with Lexus luxury and performance on the road, it is even more rare. Lexus investigated the use of vehicles by the current owners, and found that many use their models GX Family transport during the week and holidays and weekend camping. They often take a boat or boats and sometimes go in areas with dirt paths and robust.
Like the previous GX 470, 2010 GX 460 is a sturdy body-on-frame construction and no compromises or off-road, high-strength chassis and dynamic suspension control technology to support both.
The available Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS) with three modes: Normal, Sport and Comfort, and independent front suspension provides a smooth ride without compromising rugged off-road capabilities. The Lexus GX 460 2010 becomes alloy wheels standard 18-inch tires 265/60 R18 main, 17-inch wheels against the GX 470 in 2009.
Power rack and pinion steering helps facilitate the flexibility Lexus GX 460 in confined spaces. Rear adjustable height control (AHC) to improve the flexibility of the vehicle in a variety of driving situations.
KDSS is standard on the Lexus GX 460, 2010, and more control and yaw sensors. By adjusting the rolling resistance from the bar front and rear, KDSS can reduce maximum body roll angle by as much as 50 percent, as well as to improve the machinability of responsiveness and non-road.
Using hydraulic cylinders acting stabilizer bar and connects each pressure-sensing, KDSS reduces the degree of roll stiffness provided by the stabilizer bars to changing road conditions and driver inputs. From KDSS allows stabilizer bars to give up certain situations, such as driving off-road, the nominal stiffness of the bars can be significantly increased to help reduce body roll and improve handling.
During turns in the road, when both front and rear cylinders are compressed no fluid flow in the system and stabilizer bars work conventionally to help reduce body lean. In situations of off-road, the wheels on each axle to move with KDSS a greater degree of side to side independence, helping to minimize any tendency to lift the wheel. When the Lexus GX 460 encounters an uneven surface, a compressed cylinder causes fluid to flow between the front and rear cylinders, stabilizer bars to move freely. This action increases wheel travel and articulation, helping to balance the load wheel.
In addition, KDSS, 2010 Lexus GX 460 offers an optional new control scan technology, which allows off-road driving easier. Crawl Control feature automatically adjusts the throttle and brake, the driver can concentrate on directing. Crawl Control is also useful to help the vehicle free of sand, mud or snow.
When the transmission is shifted to low range, Crawl Control regulates engine speed and output, with the braking force to propel the vehicle forward or backward in one of five settings on low speed. This allows the driver to maintain concentration and avoid very rough terrain or steep grades without having to also modulate the accelerator or the brake. Crawl Control also acts on the front and rear "virtual" locking differentials to help reduce tire slippage and optimize chassis behavior.
Without canceling Crawl Control, the driver can reduce vehicle speed by braking or adjust the crawling speed with a switch. Hill-start Assist Control (HAC) provides additional control for off-road driving by helping to keep the car in reverse when starting on a steep incline or slippery surface.
Downhill Assist Control (DAC) is designed to increase the ability to slow down the transmission range of low, helping to maintain the target vehicle speed without driver intervention. Active traction control (A-TRAC) provides the benefits of traction when the front and rear locking differentials, but less weight. The system can brake the slipping wheel and transfer torque, while the wheels a better grip.
Safety / Security
The Lexus GX 460, like all Lexus models, is equipped with a wide range of dynamic safety systems. Stability Control (VSC) helps keep the Lexus GX 460 is in its path by detecting the front and rear wheels when cornering and sliding trying to control either condition with a combination of intervention and torque of each a brake on the wheel. Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD) uses the antilock brake system (ABS) and distribution of appropriate braking force between front and rear wheels according to driving conditions and load wheels.
The supplemental restraint system (SRS) has a first class, 10 standard airbags, front airbags and side airbags, front driver and front passenger knee, mounted second-row seats, and roll-sensing side curtain airbags covering every two or three lines. The front airbags are designed to inflate according to collision severity. Sensing curtain airbags designed to deploy side are in a severe tilt angle, or the force of gravity is detected.
The optional Pre-Collision System (PCS) can help reduce collision damage. The package includes Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, which uses millimeter-wave radar to measure packaging and helps to maintain a predetermined distance from the vehicle along the road. Multi-information display inside the gauge shows the combination of the car icon is selected at a distance. If on the basis of different sources, PCS decides that a collision is unavoidable, the system of advance withdrawal from the front seatbelts and pre-format a bachelor's degree in order to increase the braking applied when the driver presses the accelerator pedal.
If the camera detects that it appears that the driver is looking straight ahead for several seconds or more, and if an obstacle is detected ahead, then alerts the driver with a first warning bell and flashing light. As the car approaches an obstacle, the PCS can start applying the brakes gently on their own.
To help assist the driver in maneuvering around obstacles, the system reprograms the steering ratio, increasing the intensity and speed of response of the administration. Meanwhile, PCS automatically retracts the front seatbelts and prepares the brake system to respond with force when activated by the driver in anticipation of an impact.
LDA to warn drivers of unintended signals from the lane departure warning alarm sounds and looks. Do not drive the vehicle on its own and requires the driver to keep the device active control.
New 2010, active front head restraints move up and forward almost immediately, if certain low-speed rear-end collisions when the force of a person's body is applied to the back seat. Also new, the available Adaptive Front lighting System (AFS), in turn, illuminate, or a curve to guide the driver there, and contains a high-intensity discharge (HID) headlights. The available Pre-Collision System, the driver package carefully monitor includes a new intelligent remote lights with headlamp washers automatically beam to avoid blinding the drivers of approaching vehicles.
