In addition to that, in accordance to a combination of the various materials with the feel of those materials and the high level of refinement, Lexus' unique premium tradition is realized.

3. When the point of view is slightly separated and the entire instrument panel is viewed (macro viewpoint), the level basis was powerfully configured by simplicity as the basis. Also, it was made with accurate calculations and manufactured with precision, both of which are seen when getting closer and the details are viewed (micro viewpoint). The macro viewpoint (which continually possesses an in-depth feeling of charm and overflowing sense of freedom) and the micro viewpoint (possessing details which are made keen in depth) were designed and configured to smoothly stand out together without uneasiness.

4. In regards to the drive scene, the comfortable texture of the touched parts; such as the console, the armrest door trim, and knee support; were taken into special consideration.
