2022 Lexus new cars

Japanese luxury car manufacturer Lexus will continue its electric onslaught into 2022 with hybrid variants of the new NX, but will also update long-time favourites with the Lexus LX large SUV and LC sports car.

Lexus is set to introduce at least four models in 2022, kicking off proceedings in January with the next-generation NX mid-size SUV. Also new for the brand is the upgrade of its new car warranty to five years, with unlimited kilometres.

Priced from $60,800 before on-road costs for the entry-level NX250 Luxury, the Australian Lexus NX line-up will comprise three core powertrains: NX250, NX350 and NX350h. Drilling down further, Luxury, F Sport, and Sports Luxury trim packages will be available. Standard on the entry-level model is a 9.8-inch touchscreen, LED headlights, 18-inch alloy wheels, keyless entry, dual-zone climate control, and a power tailgate.

Adding to that, the Lexus NX range will introduce the brand’s first plug-in hybrid model, the NX450h+. It’ll become the most powerful NX on sale (227kW) and the most fuel efficient (Lexus claims 1.3L/100km).

Moving up to full-size vehicles, the Toyota LandCruiser-based 2022 Lexus LX large SUV will arrive sometime in 2022, expected to offer a choice of two engines. The petrol LX600 is powered by a 305kW/650Nm 3.5-litre (technically a 3.4-litre) twin-turbo V6, while the LX500d diesel uses a 227kW/700Nm 3.3-litre twin-turbocharged diesel V6 it shares with its Toyota underling.

The luxurious cabin will be available in both five- and seven-seat layouts, with a four-seat ‘VIP’ or ‘Executive’ model also confirmed for launch Down Under.

Finally, Lexus will issue another update to its LC sports car bringing revised suspension and new levels of personalisation, expected to launch sometime next year. No changes will come to the 351kW/540Nm 5.0-litre naturally-aspirated petrol V8, nor the 264kW 3.5-litre V6 hybrid.

Teacher accused of using rented Toyota Supra for land-speed record attempt

A high-school teacher in the US could be more than $6000 out of pocket if he is found to have violated the terms of use of a rented Toyota Supra driven to a top speed record. A US high school teacher is facing legal action – and $US4000 ($AU6000) in costs – after being accused of renting a turbocharged Toyota Supra performance coupe from a car-sharing service and used the vehicle in a racing competition without the owner’s knowledge. The high-school teacher from Indiana – and his team of female mechanic students – were on their way to compete in the 2023 U.S. Mile land-speed trials in Texas last month. The girls and their teacher had built a high-performance Chevrolet S10 pick-up for the ‘Texas Mile’ – a competition which sees vehicles try to achieve the highest possible speed from a standing start within one-mile (1.6km) on a runway. However, the 1997 Chevrolet S-10 ute suffered a mechanical failure on the way to the event. Due to the hard work put in to make the 1800km j...

2023 Toyota HiLux GR Sport imagined with this artist impression

Gambar
The new flagship of the Toyota HiLux range was caught on camera in Thailand late last year wearing little disguise. Now we have created an artist impression of what it could look like. Last month we got our first look at a camouflaged version of the 2023 Toyota HiLux GR Sport , the flagship ute set to replace the range-topping Toyota HiLux Rugged X in Australian showrooms later this year. Now we have an artist impression of the 2023 Toyota HiLux GR Sport (pictured above) that aims to remove some of the camouflage of the test vehicle caught on camera in Thailand mid-December 2022. As previously reported, although other versions of the Toyota HiLux GR Sport have been launched in Europe, South Africa and Japan over the past year or so, the 2023 edition appears to be the most aggressive yet. The latest Toyota HiLux GR Sport is set to come to Australia for the first time, though timing of the international unveiling and showroom arrivals are yet to be announced. A series ...

2023 LDV T60 Max price and specs: Prices up by more than $4000

The LDV T60 has been hit with its second major price rise in 12 months to account for new equipment – but the ute still lacks key advanced safety tech. 2023 LDV T60 Max pricing and specifications New equipment for Pro and Luxe grades Only top 10 dual-cab ute without auto emergency braking Priced from $38,990 drive-away for ABN holders 2023 LDV T60 Max Luxe The updated 2023 LDV T60 Max has arrived in Australia with a $4000 price rise and some equipment upgrades – but it still lacks advanced safety technology which is standard in its rivals. LDV Australia has announced the T60 Max 4×4 ute has undergone a handful of tweaks for 2023 after its major facelift (and $5000 price hike) last year – resulting in a price increase of $4000 across the range for buyers with an ABN. But Australia’s ninth best-selling ute continues to forgo advanced safety tech such as forward collision warning, blind-spot monitoring and autonomous emergency braking – making the T60 the the only du...
