In the premium luxury market, the stunning Lexus LS 430
Sedan was a hit in its inaugural year and is expected to
be a primary source of concern for its competitors with
its stellar collection of world-class performance, comforts
and conveniences, and outstanding safety standards. Packaged
in a sleek and sophisticated bundle that breeds both excitement
and extreme comfort, the LS 430 Sedan is poised and ready
to impress for 2002.
Available Models
With an over-abundance of fine features and incredible
performance, Lexus has not released more than the one model
for this year, although several upgrade packages are offered
to spoil you even more. The drive of this vehicle truly
is a treat to the senses, and all the while remains a sensible
overall vehicle with great versatility.
Interior Features
Passengers in the Lexus LS 430 are engulfed in
a spacious interior that overflows with standards such as
Optitron electroluminescent instrument panel, dual zone
automatic climate control, fourteen-way power driver's seat
with memory feature, ten-way power adjustable passenger
seat, power windows, and power door locks.
Amenities extend further with basics like cruise control,
power tilt steering wheel, auto-dimming rearview mirror,
and a premium seven-speaker audio system with steering wheel
controls and in-dash six-disc CD changer. Other benefits
include an outside temperature gauge, Homelink garage door
opener, and a handy power trunk closer.
The Ultra Luxury Package adds a DVD-based navigation system,
front climate control seats with heat and cool knobs, intuitive
parking assist, moonroof, power door closers, power rear
sunshade, rear cooler box, and power rear seat adjusters
with memory, heat, and massage. As well, this package includes
rear seat audio and climate controls and upgraded luxurious
leather upholstery.
Exterior Features
The elegant finish of the Lexus LS 430 Sedan
is complemented by heated dual power outside mirror with
auto-dimming feature. To make it one of the most aerodynamic
vehicles produced today, the LS 430 has been fine-tuned
to facilitate the flow of air around the bumpers, fenders,
floorpan, mirrors, and front grille bars.
Performance
The LS 430 Sedan is quite simply incredible to
drive, with its mind-blowing eight-cylinder, variable valve
timing engine that cranks out an incredible 290 horsepower
and 320 lb-ft of torque. It races from 0-60 in just 6.3
seconds with ease thanks to its highly responsive computer-controlled
five-speed automatic transmission. Enhancing performance
even more are the Intuitive Powertrain Control, Shift Logic
Control, and Dynamic Laser Cruise Control systems.
Safety and Security
Each Lexus LS 430 Sedan is equipped with a remote
keyless entry system and an engine immobilizer with rolling
code technology. The body is strong and reinforced with
side impact door beams, and both front and rear crumple
zones to channel the force of an impact away from the interior.
Other standard safety features include a driver air bag,
passenger air bag, side impact air bags, and side curtain
air bags. ABS brakes with brake assist, plus vehicle skid
control and traction control are also on the main list along
with child safety locks and child seat tethers/anchors.
