Three Elementsof an RX That Make Life Easier in Winter
September 24 2020, Lexus Laval
With fall just around the corner, one must mentally prepare for winter and its inconveniences. With a vehicle, we are mainly talking about the cold and the more difficult driving conditions.
Fortunately, the Lexus RX offers a host of features that have been designed to make life easier in winter. Here are three of them.
1 - Life on board
To have a pleasant winter with a vehicle, you need to be able to take advantage of a model that offers helpful features. This is the case with the Lexus RX. Take the interior, for example. First of all, it's equipped with floor mats designed for the harsh season. Above all, all the options you need to pamper yourself are present on board, like the heated steering wheel and heated front AND rear seat functions. Even the passengers in the back benefit from air vents to keep warm. The wipers also feature a defroster function, because Lexus knows that safety requires excellent visibility at all times. In short, once you're in an RX, you forget it's winter.
2 - LSS+ 2.0
The letters LSS in Lexus language refer to the Lexus Safety Sense safety system. In fact, it's a set of features that are offered to make your driving experience safer. It's called Lane Keeping Assist, which helps you correct your lane if you deviate from your lane. A vibration at the wheel can even call you to order. The system also offers adaptive cruise control and automatic emergency braking if a collision is imminent. Pedestrians are also protected, because the RX senses their presence so it can brake in case of danger. Finally, the headlights automatically switch to night lighting when conditions turn dark. When passing another vehicle, they resume their basic function, and so on. Here, it's simple, everything has been thought of to give you the greatest peace of mind.
3 - All-wheel drive
Of course, to face the winter safely means being able to take advantage of an excellent all-round system. The RX's has proven itself. It offers locking functions, but some of its features can also be deactivated as needed (traction control, for example, to get out of a quagmire). Power is sent to the wheels that need it, at all times. Inside, we don’t notice anything, but more importantly, you always feel in control. Once again here, you forget that you're driving in the worst conditions with Lexus' all-wheel drive.
