LEXUS PREPARES MAJOR MARKET MOVE FOR 2007
Lexus is set to launch its most comprehensive attack on the upper luxury market in Australia in 2007.
It will launch a two vehicle range of its flagship LS series – the LS600hL hybrid and the LS460 luxury sedan.
Both vehicles will feature breakthrough innovations which redefine the concept of vehicle safety.
The LS460 and LS600hL will employ sophisticated electronically controlled air suspension mated to world leading vehicle safety controls including intuitive braking and steering accident avoidance systems.
The joint launch of the LS line has changed the introduction of the LS460 from its intended release date of late 2006.
“It is imperative that LS460 and LS600hL both launch with significant feature advantages,” Lexus Australia divisional manager Scott Grant said.
“The LS460 introduced in Australia must be equal in specification to that in all world markets."
The long wheelbase Lexus LS600hL limousine will be the world's first upper-luxury petrol-electric hybrid and the world's first V8 hybrid.
It will be the forerunner of a new breed of super-performance energy efficient sedans.
LS460 will be the most highly specified luxury sedan ever built by Lexus.
