Lexus RX 2003, Automatic, 6 litres - Aba

Tokunbo Lexus RX 300 For Sale in good working condition with full option, call/whatsapp on 07045420648. Air suspension.

Drivers can choose from three ride heights, based on road condition s and terrain. The highest offers 8.3 inches of ground clearance. The lowest, called access mode, drops the RX to around six inches to make getting in and out easier. At speeds above 31 mph, the vehicle automatically moves to its normal ride height of 7.1 inches.

Adaptive front lighting.

Remember the Tucker, the car (and car maker) that fought Detroit and lost? Well, it had a center front headlight that turned with the steering wheel to improve night-time driving visibility. The RX 330 does Tucker one better. Available with the air-suspension system, the adaptive front lighting (AFS) system has two swiveling headlights. In a left turn, the left one rotates up to 15 degrees while the right one remains fixed. In a right turn, the right headlight moves up to five degrees.

Rear backup camera.

On vehicles equipped with the DVD-based navigation system, a rear backup camera helps assure drivers that no obstacles (like bikes or kids or trash cans) lurk behind the vehicle. When a driver shifts into reverse, the navigation system’s monitor instantly offers a glimpse of what’s behind. The camera is mounted near the rear license plate.

Rain-sensing wipers and water-repellent glass.

The wipers come on whenever rain hits the front windshield, while the front-door glass keeps rain from impeding a driver’s vision.

What the new RX doesn’t have that some of its competition does are adjustable pedals, a specific roll-over prevention system like Volvo’s XC90 and a third row of seats.

Lexus has two other sport-utilities, the GX 470 and the LX 470, with three rows of seats, and because the first-generation RX was such a success without one, “we didn’t see the need,” Clements said.

Lexus feels it has added enough new stuff to appeal to its already loyal RX owner base. Fully 40 percent of RX 330 buyers will be current or previous RX 300 owners, Clements said.

Most buyers will be women, though more men will buy the RX 330 than did the RX 300, he said. Nearly three-quarters of buyers will be married. Many will be 40 to 45 years old with household incomes of $125,000 to $150,000.

Surprisingly, only 30 to 35 percent of them will have children under 18 at home.

“They’re empty-nesters or they’re single,” Clements said.

While Toyota will continue to build the RX at its Kyushu plant in Japan, production of the SUV will start in Ontario, Canada, in September, making it the first North American-made Lexus. Starting in 2005, Lexus will offer a hybrid version of RX 330 that promises increased power with compact-car fuel economy.

“It is an amazing technology,” said Clements, who expressed a concern that it’ll be so good that “it will actually make the non-hybrid maybe even less attractive.”
