INSPIRED BY PASSION.
FOCUSED
ON PERFECTION.
You feel it as you run your fingers
across finely stitched leather accents.
You sense it as your foot nudges
the throttle and instantly the
vehicle responds.
Passion is an emotion that inspires an unmatched team
of designers and engineers at Lexus. To this handpicked
group of individuals, creating unique vehicles isn’t
simply their day job, it’s a lifelong obsession.
As we look into the minds of these individuals, the
passionate soul of Lexus is revealed. Until now, little has
been said of the designers and engineers who seek
out the exhilaration of the perilously fast Nürburgring
raceway, or the joys of the free-flowing highways that
intertwine the countryside of Hokkaido.
At the same time, Lexus embraces its Japanese heritage;
here is a nation which is repeatedly resetting standards
in fields as diverse as computer systems, photography,
entertainment consoles, even fashion and architecture.
Innovation in modern Japanese industry is typically
accompanied by utmost reliability, a rare feat in a
world where experimentation frequently raises
doubts as much as it raises standards.
Yet amid this high technology you’ll discover the
unmistakable influences of ancient Japanese traditions
in today’s Lexus vehicles. The artistry that for centuries
has created intricate origami and soft watercolour
paintings, extends today into finely stitched leather accents.
As you look beneath the gloss and glamour, you’ll
discover engineering that reflects an overriding quest
for precision and perfection.
Such precision emanates from the guiding hands
of an elite group of individuals known as ‘Takumi’,
the Japanese word for ‘master craftsman’, whose
finely honed skills have been handed down from
one generation to the next.
Lexus has appointed ten of these elite individuals to
oversee specific engineering disciplines. Each is
supported by 40 Assistant Masters empowered with
ensuring the highest production standards are
maintained. Through practices like these, impeccable
standards of precision and craftsmanship are firmly
entrenched in the Lexus DNA.
While Lexus has repeatedly surpassed technical
standards, now it is raising heart rates as well. For as
much as Lexus engineers seek to explore the upper limits
of engineering innovation, the drivers of such vehicles
revel in the pleasures of performance driving around
twisty coastal highways in utmost style, comfort and luxury.
The future direction of Lexus has arrived.

PREPARE
TO BE
MOVED.
Overseas RX 350 Sports Luxury model shown
When the first RX slipped elegantly
onto the global scene in 1998, a
unique journey was about to unfold.
Equally capable of taking you to high trails as well as
the high street, the Lexus RX presented a tantalising
prospect of redefining the perception of SUV luxury.
Once redefined in the mind, it was time to redefine it
in the heart and soul.
It’s taken an unwavering passion to evolve the RX into
the luxury SUV we present to you today. Encompassing
ideas to make life easier, encased in a bold design,
eclipsing the quantum leaps taken by previous RX
models. However, this RX wasn’t designed to simply
look good. Below its exterior, the beauty continues.
A mecca of technology and innovation is designed
to breathe life into the RX and to take your breath away.
most out of life while unobtrusively accommodating
life’s necessities.
The original RX 300 put luxury into a new package and
took it places it had seldom ventured. With all wheel
drive coupled with refined ride dynamics, RX offered one
of the most extraordinary gifts of all; the ability to explore
a life more carefree and fulfilling.
As each ensuing RX model attained more capabilities and
charisma than the last, further honours quickly followed.
‘Australia’s Best Cars’ awards for 3 years running were
just some of them. Performance capabilities increased
as willingly as luxury levels and the RX excelled in the
complex lifestyles of more discerning individuals.
It promptly garnered industry accolades as readily
as admiration from those who mattered most; a new
generation of individuals intent on extracting the
Convention made way for innovation as a spirited
hybrid powerplant entered the fray, combining vigorous
yet velvety-smooth acceleration with ultimate efficiency.
It delivered what the rational purists wanted, yet was
actually more intent on liberating the driver by delivering
elevated levels of refinement and performance.
As willingly as we come to expect more out of our lives
than ever before, now RX has emphatically evolved.
A reinvention encompassing ideas that make our lives
easier encased in bold exterior design, eclipsing the
quantum leaps taken by previous RX models. The latest
expression of RX has arrived.
DARING
L-FINESSE DESIGN.
This is not a discreet, mild mannered luxury SUV. This time, passionate
Lexus designers, using the philosophy of L-finesse, sought to make a
bold statement (L-finesse being engineering brilliance combined with the
elegance of contour and colour). In this case, it was to astound and amaze.
This RX has arrived in a shape that cannot be ignored.
Your first impression of the RX is the striking
spindle-shaped grille which slices through the frontal
persona. This is L-finesse on steroids; a reinvention of
the innately Lexus design language that is reshaping
today’s Lexus vehicles.
An explosion of confident, robust curves inflicts strong
geometric contours to the body design. The grille flows
seamlessly into large headlamp units punctuated by
integrated LED Daytime Running Lights (DRL). The
RX 450h Sports Luxury looks further into the future as
two LED beams replace conventional headlamps.
Fashion meets function as the Lexus badge in the
grille also serves as part of the radar sensor integral
in the safety technologies inherent in certain models.
While such a demeanour captures attention, it caresses
the wind with a sleek 0.32 coefficient of drag.
Overseas RX 350 Sports Luxury model shown
Dramatic contours are also displayed in the rear, leading to
a sleek tail-lamp design. Then as you step inside,
L-finesse design seeks to inspire the mind and comfort
the body. As you take hold of the woodgrain-look
steering wheel in Sports Luxury models, the RX’s
interior design assumes a new direction. Muscular
contours shape the door trims while Luxury models
display a unique persona embellished with Abyss black.
Should you choose the F Sport, the front bumper
displays a more vigorous personality complemented
by mesh grilles. Multi-spoke 19" alloy wheels with
a dark chrome finish reveal a dark side to the RX’s
personality. Inside, sports pedals, an F Sport steering
wheel and paddle shifters (RX 350 model only) mesh
design passion with driving performance.
Best of all, this is an instance of automotive artistry that
will rekindle your passion for driving.

EASE.
Imagine a vehicle that feels a natural extension of your body. For your every
action, the vehicle responds with the perfect reaction. This RX has been
designed to achieve precisely that. What your heart desires, the RX delivers.

Slip your fingers onto the power adjustment buttons
and the front seats adjust themselves to suit your
individual torso. Three Position** memory settings
ensure each minute adjustment is remembered for
your next journey (except lumbar), together with
your mirror and steering wheel settings.
You’re pampered with the comfort of soft leather
accented seating in Luxury models complemented by
Abyss Black. The supple opulence of semi-aniline leather
accented interior with an elegant diamond perforation
RX 350 Sports Luxury model shown
distinguishes the Sports Luxury interior design
treatment. Your ears are seduced by a 12-speaker
audio system with the audio precision of a ‘Class D’
digital amplifier. Play MP3s or DVDs, or connect your
iPod®(4) for an expansive music library and view album
artwork on the Electro Multi-Vision (EMV) display.
Thanks to the Digital Radio (DAB+),(7) your favourite
radio station will sound like never before. Look, no
antenna. Actually, it has been discreetly integrated
into the rear spoiler for superior reception without
compromising the RX’s striking design.
In Sports Luxury models, an audiophile system
incorporating 15 speakers is the creation of a free thinker
named Mark Levinson. Music lovers wouldn’t have anything
less than the purity enhancing technologies making a
drive to the supermarket feel like a night at the opera.
As you warm to the new technologies, an intelligent
dual climate control system helps cool you down again,
while keeping fan noise breathlessly subdued. So as
your senses are indulged, your mind is free to pursue
routes more stimulating.
FEEL COOL, CALM AND
CONNECTED.

A reassuring sense of being in touch and in control is simply
a click away via the Lexus Remote Touch Controller (LRT)
at your side. As intuitive as a computer mouse it puts a
range of controls, from fine tuning audio levels to finding
your destination, right in the palm of your hands.
First, plot your route on the Electro Multi-Vision (EMV)
display and listen to spoken directions. Maps may
even be copied and taken to another vehicle or PC
by USB™(1) flash drive. Concise information is placed
right in your line of vision by the Head-Up Display
(HUD) available in Sports Luxury models and F Sport
Enhancement Pack.
You can view your speed, gear selection, shift mode
and more without ever taking your eyes of the road.
Overseas model shown
Touch a switch on the steering wheel and the audio
system responds to your spoken commands whilst your
iPod® is connected via USB(1). Your RX can even stream
audio from your Bluetooth™(2) connected phone.
When you want your voice to travel further, in-built
Bluetooth™(2) helps you answer the call, offering hands
free communication with utmost clarity.
RX 450h – THREE HEARTS
BEAT AS ONE.
In life and in love, we aspire to acting and thinking as one. A sensation that
can now be enjoyed in the RX 450h hybrid – a perfect marriage of three
hearts: petrol, electric, and (most importantly) yours.
Since your body will barely detect whether petrol or
electric power (or both) are driving you, allow us to
explain. From standstill, electric energy moves you
forward. As speed picks up, petrol energy kicks in.
At highway speeds mainly petrol engine is doing the
work, then as you slow down, the braking energy
helps recharge the battery.
You’ll not only feel the energy but see it as well on the
Electro Multi-Vision (EMV) display. There’s also a Hybrid
System Indicator on the instrument panel to inform you
when you’re driving with greatest efficiency, power,
even when the battery is being recharged.
Imagine being able to change the personality of your
vehicle depending on your mood. During relaxed
driving, the needle on the Hybrid System Indicator points
to ‘CHARGE’ or ‘ECO’ indicating you are driving in an
Eco-friendly manner, while the instrumentation assumes
a soothing blue ambience.
Select ‘SPORT’ mode and the instrument display
changes to a dynamic red colour, the steering and
throttle response changes and your driving experience
takes on a sportier dimension.
How does it feel? You’ll feel the acceleration but
you’ll barely hear it. Nor will you feel the gearshifts, the
Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) eloquently
dispenses with such necessities for uninterrupted
driving pleasure.

There's little you really need to understand about the
RX 450h but there's so much for you to experience.
Consider it one of those rare opportunities when you can
enjoy exhilarating performance with a clear conscience.
RX 350 F Sport model shown
F SPORT –
TAKING ACCELERATION TO
EXHILARATION.
RX 350 F Sport model shown
There’s nothing quite like moving in a way you never
expected to be moved. The RX has been tuned to do
exactly this: to seamlessly propel your body to speed,
and send your heart racing. Time to feel alive.
Supple four wheel independent suspension has the
innate ability to respond willingly to the meandering
contours of the road ahead. Refined yet responsive,
annoying vibrations are eloquently quelled while
limpet-like grip offers reassuring sense of stability.
Such a sensation is heightened in the RX F Sport.
Perhaps you’ve noticed that certain vehicles may
lose composure during hard braking or cornering?
So F Sport models offer the precise control and
comfort of performance dampers mounted horizontally
front and rear to counteract even minute vibrations
and help maintain your composure. Which is very
comforting, in more ways than one.
The RX 350 F Sport puts performance driving right at
your fingertips, with paddle shifters positioned just behind
the F Sport steering wheel. Enjoy the crisp shifting of
a manual even in D-range, or leave it to the intelligent
automatic shifting for effortless acceleration.
In the RX 450h, a Continuously Variable Transmission
(CVT) offers truly seamless shifting without the
interruption of conventional gear shifts. Or select ‘S’
mode for the sporty driving sensation of sequential shifting,
just like a conventional manual transmission.
While RX F Sport offers you the option of two
energetic engines, which ever you choose a richly
rewarding driving experience comes standard.
RX 270 & RX 350 – STYLE WITH
SUBSTANCE.
Left: RX 270 model shown
Right: RX 350 F Sport model shown
Passion transforms momentum in the stylish RX 270
and the luxurious RX 350.
There’s nothing middle of the road about the ultra
refined RX 270. Its sleek, contemporary lines and
polished interiors translate to an abundance of
head-turning moments as you take to the streets.
Feel content behind the wheel of the RX 270 and its
uncompromising relationship to style and efficiency.
Honouring the lean frame is a consideration to luxury
and space, while the powerful 2.7 litre 4-cylinder engine
still delivers good fuel efficiency.
Driving alongside this stylish debut is the luxurious
RX 350. Putting control and function back in the hands
of the driver thanks to lightening quick gear changes.
The RX 350 also speaks to your powerful side with its
high performance Dual VVT-i, Double Overhead Cam
(DOHC) V6 engine and 1.5 tonne towing capacity.
Now is the time to truly commit to your passion of
handling the road. Focus reigns supreme in the RX 350
Sports Luxury thanks to the sophisticated Head-Up
Display (HUD), which projects all the information you
need onto the lower portion of the windscreen.
And with a smooth transition between the gears, it’s eyes
ahead. Control also comes in the form of the Lexus Remote
Touch Controller (LRT) – an intuitive interface that lets
you seamlessly set the scene for the way you like to drive.
With precision and perfection taken care of, turn your
focus to clarity of sound with our integrated digital radio
(DAB+).(7) Create the perfect soundtrack as you negotiate
busy city streets or enjoy long stretches of highway.
The RX 270 and RX 350. Two distinct models with a
singular purpose; to rekindle your passion for stylish,
sophisticated motoring.

ACTIVE FRONT LIGHTING SYSTEM (AFS)
Prototype image shown
When you feel protected you
feel empowered. In RX, such
a sense of comfort comes from
knowing smart technologies
lie in wait, ready to deal with
a plethora of situations.
Take the package of 10 Supplemental Restraint System
(SRS) Airbags. As comprehensive as it appears, the real
beauty is the manner in which each airbag responds. For
instance, dual stage front airbags react according to the
level of impact to better cushion the impact. The front
passenger’s twin chamber acts like two cushions side
by side which spread the collision force. Rear impacts
are dealt with by forward thinking as active headrests
actually move forward and upward to help reduce the
risk of whiplash injuries.
Since the more stimulating journeys are often travelled
on twisty rural roads, Vehicle Dynamics Integrated
Management (VDIM) can anticipate a slide and take
corrective action. The Anti-skid Braking System (ABS),
Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) and Traction
Control (TRC) work in harmony for optimum control
when cornering and stopping. The beauty of such
sophistication is that you're often blissfully unaware as
each system is working on your behalf.
You’ll feel more relaxed on the highway as Radar Active
Cruise Control (ACC)(5) in selected models watches
ahead and slows you down should another vehicle
cross your path. In more dire situations, a Pre-Collision
safety System (PCS)(3) can anticipate a collision then take
pre-emptive action in selected models.
Firstly, the vehicle can warn a driver of a possible collision
via a visible and audible alert. If the driver does not take
action, the system activates Pre-Collision Brake Assist
(PCS) to supplement braking effort. If the Pre-Collision
safety System determines the collision is unavoidable,
your RX will automatically apply the Pre-Crash Brakes in
correlation with the activation of the Pre-Crash Seatbelts.
A Dual-stage SRS airbag
B SRS knee airbag
After dark, high technology shines. An Active
Front-lighting System (AFS) in selected models virtually
redirects the headlamps around corners for safety levels
that turn heads. At all times, LED Daytime Running Lights
(DRL) make you more visible to other motorists.

OWNERSHIP
SOLUTIONS.
Ownership Solutions+ allows you to determine your finance costs and know
the Guaranteed Future Value (GFV) of your vehicle from the outset. It offers
you choice, control and certainty. In short, everything you’d expect from Lexus.
How does Ownership Solutions work?
• You choose the deposit that best fits your needs.+
• You choose your term.**
• We agree the estimated kilometres you think you’ll travel.
• Lexus Financial Services (LFS) then determines
the GFV of your vehicle. The GFV is the agreed
minimum value of your Lexus at the end of your
finance contract. Your monthly repayments are then
calculated based on the above information with a
final payment equal to your GFV. Then, if you return
your Lexus at the end of the term and satisfy the agreed
terms and conditions, LFS will pay you the GFV which
will be put against the final payment.
The end of the term? Simply replace,
retain or return.
At the end of your term you can choose to:
• Replace or sell your Lexus using the trade-in
value or sale price to pay the remaining balance
of your account.
• Retain your Lexus and simply pay the remaining
balance of your account (including final payment).
• Alternatively, return your Lexus and, subject to fair
wear and tear conditions and the agreed kilometres
being met, we’ll put the GFV towards the final
payment on your account (conditions apply).
Choosing your deposit – what is best for you?
With the flexibility of Ownership Solutions, you can
choose the deposit that best fits your current needs.+
• If, for example, you have funds tied up in other
investments, you can choose to finance your new
Lexus with a zero deposit.+
• Alternatively, by using a larger deposit you can
lower your monthly repayments.***
• B etter still, compared to other finance options over a
similar term, Ownership Solutions can provide more
affordable monthly repayments.***
+
Want more certainty?
With Ownership Solutions you’re guaranteed that at
the end of the term (subject to fair wear and tear and
kilometre usage) you’ll never owe more than your
vehicle’s worth to LFS. In other words, you don’t have to
worry about what your vehicle will be worth in the future
because you know its minimum value from the outset.
What happens in the case of the unexpected?
If your vehicle incurs damage and does not meet the
Fair Wear and Tear guidelines, LFS will give you the
opportunity to have your vehicle repaired. Otherwise,
LFS can organise the repairs and deduct the cost from
your GFV. This adjusted GFV will then be the price
that LFS will offer you if you return the vehicle at the
end of your term. Of course, if you retain the vehicle,
the condition doesn’t matter, however, if you replace
it or sell it privately the condition will obviously impact
your sale price.
So what does your accountant think?
Naturally, we think Ownership Solutions is an excellent,
innovative way to put you in control of buying a new Lexus.
That said, we suggest you seek independent advice to
ensure Ownership Solutions is right for you.
Wouldn’t it be great if Ownership Solutions
was just the beginning?
Lexus’ innovations and commitment to customer
service extend well beyond Ownership Solutions.
Once you purchase a new Lexus, you’ll become a
member of the Lexus Encore Privileges programme
and enjoy a host of exclusive benefits.†
For further details simply visit your nearest Lexus dealer
or see lexus.com.au/services/benefits/ for details
uaranteed Future Value (GFV) is the minimum value of your new Lexus at the end of your finance contract, as determined
G
by Lexus Financial Services. If you decide to return your car to Lexus at the end of your term, Lexus Financial Services will pay
you the agreed GFV amount which will be put against your final payment, subject to fair wear and tear conditions and agreed
kilometres being met. The information provided is general in nature. You should seek your own financial advice to determine
whether Lexus Ownership Solutions is appropriate for your individual circumstances. Terms and conditions, fees and charges
apply. Lexus Ownership Solutions Guaranteed Future Value (GFV) products are available to approved customers of Lexus
Financial Services, a division of Toyota Finance Australia Limited ABN 48 002 435 181, Australian Credit Licence 392536.
++
Up to four years.
+++
Lower monthly repayments compared to similar term with no Guaranteed Future Value (GFV) or equivalent balloon final payment.
Total interest charges will be higher if a GFV or balloon final payment is selected.
THE BENEFITS OF
ENCORE.
The benefits of being a Lexus owner go far beyond the intrinsic pleasure
of driving the vehicle. From the moment you’re handed the keys, you’ll also
be welcomed to the Lexus Encore Privileges programme† – a range of
exclusive initiatives that reaffirm our ongoing pursuit of perfection.
It all means you’ll enter a world of benefits that extends
to every corner of life. A world where everything’s just
that much easier, and works that much more seamlessly.
And a world where, should trouble ever find you,
you can always find a helping hand.
Take our After Sales Service as an example. Both our
technology and our technicians are at the forefront of
automotive innovation. And our profound understanding
of every single component of your Lexus means we can
do more to ensure it’s a pleasure to drive today, and in
the long run.
It’s a world you’ve always belonged in.
A privilege unique to Lexus drivers.
Silver service
Every aspect of your Lexus is built around your comfort
and convenience, so it’s fitting that when it’s ready
for a service, we’ll come and pick it up from you, and
provide you with a complimentary loan car while we’re
inspecting. Plus, when we return your Lexus, it will have
received a complimentary wash and interior vacuum.
Experience Lexus outside your vehicle
We’re constantly striving to enhance the Lexus
ownership experience. It’s what we’re known for.
Our luxury events will be the perfect way to experience
the Lexus lifestyle and network with other owners.
Tickets may be limited, so be quick to secure your place.
Peace of mind
Wherever you are and whatever you’re doing, you can
relax. Because with our Encore Privileges programme,
you have the 24-hour support of Lexus Drive Care. We’ll
look after your car and, just as importantly, we’ll look after
you and your passengers.
Well read
You can stay abreast of all things Lexus from the comfort
of your own home, with our Lexus Magazine delivered
right to your door. It’ll keep you updated on all aspects of
luxury living. And covers everything you need to know
