INTERIOR

Driving Atmosphere with Superior Sense of Support (Achieves Snug Roominess)

1. The upper part uses a sleek instrument panel and door trim structure that is placed along a horizontal axis to create a sense of roominess (A in illustration).

2. The lower part uses a thick and soft console and armrest to securely support the lower halves of passengers, creating a comfortable sense of security (B in illustration).

   

Instrument Panel Design that Expresses Original Lexus Atmosphere and HMI

1. An atmosphere that harmonizes roominess and a sense of security is expressed through structural beauty that incorporates HMI zoning. Specifically, it consists of a 2-layer delicate and strong instrument panel that is positioned on a horizontal axis and has the display zone, which has a uniform height, inserted into it. The shape of the instrument panel, which flows from the combination meter hood and register to the door trim, and the wood grain ornamentation positioned at the end of this flowing shape express a roominess that is greater than its actual length.

2. A dignified and refined structure, which beautifully harmonizes the contrast between the sleek and spacious instrument panel and the thick console and door trim and is appropriate for a Lexus flagship model, is expressed.

   

Door Trim that Expresses Atmosphere through its Seamless Structure with Instrument Panel

1. The door trim is shaped to continue from the instrument panel and uses the same materials, expressing the roominess of the cabin. In addition, the original structure of the ornamentation panels for the wood grain specification uses a thin and vertically long wood grain, patterned after traditional Japanese bent wood, in pursuit of Lexus originality and a sense of high-quality (A in illustration).

2. The wide armrest that expresses the original "Seat in Control" concept ensures a competitor top-class level of armrest width and is shaped to securely support occupants' elbows.

3. The entire trim uses 3 lines of quilting processing* that appear to ripple outward from the ornamentation panel, expressing an elegant and comfortable atmosphere (B in illustration).

Calm and Relaxing Rear Seat Atmosphere

1. The rear seats are shaped to pursue an atmosphere that provides the sense that the upper parts are visually wrapping around the occupants and emphasize continuity from the door trim to the lower part of the center body pillar, interior panels and front seatbacks while ensuring the front/rear dimensions necessary to achieve a top-class level of comfort (A in illustration). The lower part uses a thick and soft console and armrest to securely support the lower halves of passengers, creating a comfortable sense of security in the same way as the front seats (B in illustration).

   

Steering

1. General

   
   

   • New wood grain processing is used to unify the outer circumference that is wrapped in genuine leather and achieve a superior operation feeling, even when the steering wheel is fully turned to either side.

   • The cruise control switch unifies the operations that are gathered together inside the steering wheel. As a result, the expanded switch areas are laid out horizontally and made sleek so that they can be installed in the bases of the left and right spokes, achieving a superior grip feeling.

   • A 3-spoke steering wheel with a small diameter is used to emphasize sportiness. The spokes are designed to achieve the strength and elegance appropriate for a flagship model according to their laterally-extending solid structures and use of flexible metal ornamentation.

2. Genuine Leather Specification

   
   

   • A Lexus standard grip shape is used to express the Lexus style.

   • A grip cross section, which emphasizes a natural grip feeling and differs according to the grip position, is provided.

   • Satin plating is used for the paddle switches to express a sense of luxury.

   • Hairline processing (film transfer) is used for the switch knobs to express a sense of luxury.

4. F SPORT Specification

   
   

   • The grip cross section does not face the shaft axis as it did previously. Instead, the cross section faces the front of the vehicle, making it easy to recognize the steering angle.

   • The shape of the grip is designed by considering driving scenes and gripping methods and placing importance on maintaining a natural grip. As a result, the cross section of the grip is changed at various positions to create a grip shape that matches the twisting of the driver's wrists.

   • Satin plating is used for the paddle switches to express a sense of luxury.

   • Hairline processing (film transfer) is used for the switch knobs to express a sense of luxury.

   • The variations in the surface of the F SPORT EMBLEM and the height-width ratio of its characters match those of the fender emblem, increasing the vehicle's sense of unity. In addition, plating is used on the surface to achieve a metallic authenticity.

Shift Lever Knob Sub-Assembly

1. Genuine leather is used for the shift lever knob sub-assembly. Dimpled leather is used for F SPORT, and smooth leather is used for all other specifications. The shapes of the side surfaces and the overall curvature are precisely designed in pursuit of an excellent feel. Expert techniques are used to achieve a seamless shape from a single piece of leather, regardless of the shapes of the curves. As a result, an exquisitely soft quality feel and authenticity suitable for a flagship luxury model are achieved.

Illumination

1. General

   
   

   • An original way of expressing light for a Lexus vehicle was pursued by drawing inspiration from "Andon", traditional Japanese paper lights that softly give off light near the ground. Kiriko pattern illumination is provided for the combination meter faceplate illumination and the display zone in front of the front passenger seat.
