2006 LEXUS GX 1
006 LEXUS GX Scaling Mountains 1 Steep hills always pose a challenge, which is why the GX employs a highly evolved technology called Downhill Assist Control (DAC) . When descending steep grades, one touch of a button instructs DAC to administer braking as needed to maintain an even speed of descent. All you need to 1 do is steer. The GX is also equipped with Hill-start Assist Control (HAC) .
There are those who view driving as nothing more than a penance between destinations. But a GX driver sees all those miles as an opportunity for adventure, particularly if they find themselves on the road less traveled. Or beyond any road at all. In such cases, the GX, equipped with our available Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System (KDSS), gives you the freedom—and the technology— to make the most of any terrain.
The GX is equipped with a 4.7-liter V8 engine—the largest offered by Lexus—unleashing 263 horsepower and 323 lb-ft of torque 2. Taming this beast is Variable Valve Timing with intelligence (VVT-i), which continually monitors and adjusts the engine’s valves to deliver optimum performance at all times. And a five-speed Electronically Controlled Transmission (ECT) keeps everything running smoothly.
2006 LEXUS GX Interior Vehicle shown with available equipment. 4 Our available third-row seating is foldable, removable and leather-trimmed, giving you the luxury of transporting eight people in high style . Passengers will have their own air conditioning and audio systems, the latter complete with a headphone jack 16. Should you choose to add a Rear-Seat Entertainment System (RSES), your passengers will have their own private cinema, as well.
2006 LEXUS GX Interior (Continued) Embarking on a great adventure needn’t mean leaving your standards behind. In fact, with its vast array of comforts and conveniences, the GX may raise those standards considerably. As you would expect of a Lexus, sumptuous, expertly crafted leather and fine wood accents abound. But our aim is to go beyond simply meeting your expectations.
2006 LEXUS GX DVD Navigation System and Bluetooth® To help keep you on course, the GX is available with the Lexus voice-activated DVD Navigation System 7. This GPS satellite-linked system can direct you to over five million preprogrammed points of interest in the contiguous U.S. and major cities in Canada, displaying full-color maps on a screen in the instrument panel. Use the system’s database to find gas stations, ATMs, hotels, airports—it can even recommend, for example, a seafood restaurant.
2006 LEXUS GX Safety The GX is prepared, even when you are not. To begin with, it has been designed to help manage impact energy in a variety of emergency situations, including frontal impacts, offset frontal impacts and side impacts. In such situations, its strong, welded-steel body-and-ladder frame helps maintain the shape and integrity of the chassis and cabin. Scientifically designed, impact-absorbing materials in the structure of the GX will help offset the energy generated by a collision.
2006 LEXUS GX Safety (Continued) Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) 12 senses, and helps correct, a loss of traction in turns. Active Traction Control (ATRAC) directs power to those wheels with the best traction to help control wheelspin on surfaces like mud, sand and ice. Should you require hard braking on a slippery surface, an Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS), Brake Assist 13 and Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD) can be counted on to help you maintain control.
2006 LEXUS GX Ownership Experience A moment, if you will. It seems so inconsequential: a moment.
