2006 LEXUS GX

2006 LEXUS GX Scaling Mountains

Steep hills always pose a challenge, which is why the GX employs a highly evolved technology called Downhill Assist Control (DAC)1. When

descending steep grades, one touch of a button instructs DAC to administer braking as needed to maintain an even speed of descent. All you need to

do is steer. The GX is also equipped with Hill-start Assist Control (HAC)1. HAC helps control the GX from rollback during that brief moment when

your foot travels from brake to accelerator before beginning an ascent.

There are those who view driving as nothing more than a penance

between destinations. But a GX driver sees all those miles as an

opportunity for adventure, particularly if they find themselves on

the road less traveled. Or beyond any road at all. In such cases,

the GX, equipped with our available Kinetic Dynamic Suspension

System (KDSS), gives you the freedom—and the technology—

to make the most of any terrain. By freeing the stabilizer bar

connecting one rear wheel to the other, KDSS allows a separate

articulation for each wheel. So one wheel can tackle uneven terrain

while the other side of the vehicle remains relatively unaffected.

Best of all, it engages automatically, without disturbing the driver

for directives of any kind.

Traditional suspension systems are

tuned to perform well on paved

roads, with the simple goal of ride

comfort and control in turns. But

off-road suspensions have different needs—primarily to maintain contact with the ground on uneven surfaces. The

GX, available with a Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System (KDSS), achieves this feat with stabilizer bars that can

allow each wheel to move with less restriction. This flexibility helps to prevent vehicle tilt on rocky roads, without

sacrificing ride smoothness when the terrain evens out.

2006 LEXUS GX Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System

The GX is equipped with a 4.7-liter V8 engine—the

largest offered by Lexus—unleashing 263 horsepower

and 323 lb-ft of torque2. Taming this beast is Variable

Valve Timing with intelligence (VVT-i), which continually

monitors and adjusts the engine’s valves to deliver

optimum performance at all times. And a five-speed

Electronically Controlled Transmission (ECT) keeps

everything running smoothly.

Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS) offers four

settings—from Comfort to Sport—with which you can

direct the GX to automatically sense the character

of the terrain, monitor your steering and braking, and

adjust the suspension accordingly. A true sign of a

serious utility vehicle, TORSEN® Limited-Slip Center

Differential (LSCD)3 offers a variety of benefits, the

most important being to help enhance the traction. And

Rear Adjustable Height Control (RAHC) permits the

GX to be raised 1.6 inches or lowered 1.2 inches for

better or easier loading.

2006 LEXUS GX Performance

2006 LEXUS GX Interior

Our available third-row seating is foldable, removable and leather-trimmed, giving you the luxury of transporting eight people in high style4.

Passengers will have their own air conditioning and audio systems, the latter complete with a headphone jack16. Should you choose to add a Rear-Seat

Entertainment System (RSES), your passengers will have their own private cinema, as well.

With the help of Mark Levinson®5, a company known for designing six-figure home-audio systems, we custom-designed a 14-speaker, 240-watt6

Premium Audio System that features an in-dash, six-disc CD auto-changer, available in the GX. Though the sound might say “live concert,” you can, of

course, stop the music any time you wish.

Vehicle shown with available equipment.

Embarking on a great adventure needn’t mean leaving

your standards behind. In fact, with its vast array of

comforts and conveniences, the GX may raise those

standards considerably. As you would expect of a Lexus,

sumptuous, expertly crafted leather and fine wood

accents abound. But our aim is to go beyond simply

meeting your expectations. This aim is achieved with

such features as heated front seats with variable settings,

lumbar support for both driver and front passenger, dual-

zone climate control for personalized temperature zones

and an interior air filter to put plenty of distance between

you and unpleasant dust, pollen and odors.

Front seats are heated with variable settings, and outside

mirrors are heated to prevent fogging and maintain clarity

in freezing conditions. The instrument panel displays a temperature gauge, barometer and altimeter to let you

know when the weather actually becomes interesting. A compass in the rearview mirror can keep you on

track, should the direction you’re headed concern you. Additionally, because not all escapades go exactly as

planned, the GX always brings along first aid and tool kits. So you might say the GX is prepared for anything.

A nice quality in a vehicle driven by those with an adventurous side.

2006 LEXUS GX Interior (Continued)

To help keep you on course, the GX is available

with the Lexus voice-activated DVD Navigation

System7. This GPS satellite-linked system can direct

you to over five million preprogrammed points of

interest in the contiguous U.S. and major cities in

Canada, displaying full-color maps on a screen in

the instrument panel. Use the system’s database to

find gas stations, ATMs, hotels, airports—it can even

recommend, for example, a seafood restaurant.

With the addition of a Bluetooth®-compatible

phone8, you can call ahead using only your voice

to dial.

For even more self-assurance, the GX is available

with a backup camera9. This ingenious feature,

aided by a tiny lens at the rear of the vehicle, will

project a color image of the area to your NAV

screen the moment you place the GX in reverse. In

this way the GX can provide you with a picture of

objects you might otherwise miss.

2006 LEXUS GX Safety

The GX is prepared, even when you are not. To begin with, it has been designed to help manage impact energy in a variety of emergency situations,

including frontal impacts, offset frontal impacts and side impacts. In such situations, its strong, welded-steel body-and-ladder frame helps maintain

the shape and integrity of the chassis and cabin. Scientifically designed, impact-absorbing materials in the structure of the GX will help offset the

energy generated by a collision. Furthermore, each door has been reinforced with beams to help provide side-impact protection. Roll-Sensing Curtain

Airbags (RSCA)10 deploy in the event of a severe tilt degree, roll or lateral G-force. (For off-road situations you can temporarily disable the RSCA.)

These work in conjunction with the seat-mounted side airbags10. The GX also comes standard with a Tire Pressure Monitor System11, which uses audio

and visual clues to alert you if your tire pressure is critically below the optimal range.

10, 11 See page 16 for more information.

Vehicle Stability Control (VSC)12 senses, and helps correct, a loss of traction in turns. Active Traction Control (A-

TRAC) directs power to those wheels with the best traction to help control wheelspin on surfaces like mud, sand and ice.

Should you require hard braking on a slippery surface, an Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS), Brake Assist13 and Electronic

Brakeforce Distribution (EBD) can be counted on to help you maintain control.

To help control a loss of traction in turns, the GX employs Vehicle Stability Control (VSC). This perceptive technology uses sensors to monitor factors

such as wheel speed, steering-wheel angle and your rate of travel in order to detect a skid. Should a loss of traction be detected, WSC instantly

determines which action’s needed—whether it be the application of brakes to individual wheels or a reduction of throttle—and then automatically

implements that action.

2006 LEXUS GX Ownership Experience

A moment, if you will. It seems so inconsequential: a moment. And yet it’s often the small

moments, the ones you experience while getting from here to there, that can make your

life richer. Fourteen years ago we began with this insight when we set out to build the

kind of luxury automobiles that attend to your every need—to help you make the most

of every moment. When you drive a Lexus, you drive something unique. You’ll feel it in

our cars. You’ll feel it the instant you walk into our dealerships. And if we’ve done our

job, there’s a good chance you’ll feel it when you least expect it. It’s why we pursue

perfection—so you can pursue living.

CUSTOMER SATISFACTION

Your total and complete satisfaction is our highest priority. Which is why you may find

our dealerships provide such amenities as offices you can use for business, free pickup

and delivery, service loaner vehicles, complimentary car washes, concierge services and

even 24-hour emergency Roadside Assistance* for your first four years of ownership.

RESPONSIBLE THINKING

As part of an effort to reduce emissions whenever possible, every Lexus vehicle built since 2004 has been certified as wither a Low-Emission Vehicle

(LEV), Ultra-Low Emission Vehicle (ULEV or ULEV II) or Super Ultra-Low Emission Vehicle (SULEV).

VALUE/DEPENDABILITY/QUALITY

Our commitment to build the finest vehicles in the world has not wavered since our inception. Seen in such ways as projected low repair costs and

high retained value, our pursuit of perfection has never been stronger.

*Coverage only available in the continental U.S. and Canada. Please see your local Lexus dealer for details on our Roadside Assistance program.
